New York City LGBT Hotels

It almost seems ridiculous to write specifically about LGBTQ+ friendly hotels in NYC, because all of our hotels welcome everyone and NYC takes great pride (pun intended) in our diversity and inclusiveness (have you seen the new Mayor’s campaign against Florida???). There was actually a very popular ad once that read, "NYC: Tolerant of Your Beliefs, Judgmental of Your Shoes," which is pretty true! However, there are some hotels that really shine when welcoming the LGBTQIA+ community and we highlight a few of those properties here.

Dream Downtown – right by Union Square and the Meatpacking District, the Dream Downtown has a huge outdoor swimming pool surrounded by sand and often hosts beach parties, filled with models of all types (photo – private jacuzzi room)
The High Line Hotel – proud member of IGLTA who welcomes same sex weddings in its historic Refectory and the chapel at the General Theological Seminary.
Chelsea Pines Inn – gay-owned in NYC’s premier gay neighborhood, consistently rated a best value hotel in NYC, a top pick on misterbandb and self proclaimed as “NYC’s premier urban bed and breakfast.”

Since most are indoor/outoor and heated, anytime of year is a great time to check into one of our New York City Hotels with Pools.
