Commercial Street, West End
A waterfront hotel best known for its daily summer Tea Dance on the harbor deck, which makes it one of the most social places to stay in town. Pick it if you want to be where the afternoon crowd gathers; light sleepers may prefer somewhere quieter.
Ocean Walk, Cherry Grove
Cherry Grove's main hotel, with a pool, poolside bar, and the Ice Palace nightclub right on site. Adults only (21+); the best pick if you want to be in the middle of the Grove's drag shows and dancing.
Baltimore Avenue, on the boardwalk
A big oceanfront hotel on the boardwalk with an oceanfront pool and beach bar, and the longtime hub for Rehoboth Beach Bear Weekend events. Choose it for direct beach access and room to spread out.
Blue Star Highway, Douglas
Open since 1981 and celebrating its 45th season in 2026, the Dunes mixes motel rooms, cottages and suites with a pool, bars, a nightclub and Sunday tea dances. Book it to be at the center of the action; holiday weekends sell out months ahead.
118th Avenue, Fennville (near Saugatuck)
A wooded LGBTQ+ campground with cabins, vintage trailers, glamping tents and RV sites, plus a heated pool, cafe and themed weekends. Great for groups and budget trips; guests must be 21+ and buy a small annual membership.
Gay Resort Drive, Cathedral City
A larger men's resort for guests 21 and over, ten minutes east of downtown Palm Springs. It has a pool, two spas, a steam room and its own bar and restaurant, so you don't need to leave the property in the evening.
210 W. Stevens Rd, north Palm Springs
A seven-room motel done head to toe in pink, with a different theme in each room and a pool to match. It's a fun pick for friends who want a camp, photogenic stay, and you can rent the whole place.
Old Cazadero Rd, Guerneville
Upscale camping in Airstream trailers and canvas tents by the river, with a clubhouse and general store. It suits men who want the redwoods without roughing it.
N Fort Lauderdale Beach Boulevard, beachfront
A big, sleek beachfront hotel with a busy pool deck, a short walk south of Sebastian Street Beach. It suits mixed groups of friends who want a full-service hotel instead of a guesthouse.
Orleans Street at Bourbon, French Quarter
A grand old French Quarter hotel with a pool, two short blocks from the gay corner at Bourbon and St. Ann. A comfortable full-service choice for groups heading out for Decadence or Mardi Gras.
Levontin St, between Rothschild and Florentin
A big, friendly hostel with private rooms as well as dorms, a rooftop, a bar and nightly events. It suits solo travelers or groups on a budget who want to meet people and walk to the Rothschild and Florentin bars.
Soho (near Piccadilly Circus)
A design-led hotel on its own courtyard at the south edge of Soho, with a rooftop terrace and a 1950s bowling alley in the basement. It's a good splurge for groups of friends or a special-occasion trip.
Church St at Bloor (620 Church St)
Large suites with full kitchens and living rooms at the north end of Church Street. They suit longer stays or friends sharing, and the Village bars are a short walk south.
De Waterkant
An 18th-century Cape-Georgian house with just five suites, wide plank floors, fireplaces and antiques. There's a splash pool and a wraparound terrace. It works well for couples or a group of friends who want a quiet house in the middle of the village.
