Gay Hotels in USA

Gay hotels are not spread evenly. They cluster where a scene already exists — fourteen in Maspalomas alone, thirteen in Cologne. Most people pick the destination first and the house second. This page turns that around and lists every venue by city, with a map.

36 hotels in 15 cities

With 36 houses, the American stock is the largest in this overview — and it is not located in the metropolises. At the top are five places with three houses each: Fire Island, Fort Lauderdale, Key West, Palm Springs and Provincetown.

These are all holiday resorts that have grown as queer destinations, and not big cities with queer neighbourhoods. This is exactly what distinguishes the USA from the German stock, where Cologne, a single large city, bears almost half.

If you are looking for an American gay hotel, you usually choose the place and season first and then the house. There are no closed houses listed.

In the other categories, the USA is clearly behind: 21 saunas and ten cruising addresses. Gay hotels are thus the category in which the country leads this overview, and by far.
