New york gay hotels

While the gay hotel New York scene and bar life in Greenwich Village aren’t as bustling as they once were, paying homage to those who paved the way for us is absolutely worth a visit.

The largest gayborhood in NYC is Hell’s Kitchen. Their building is a curated collection of vintage and contemporary art, illustrating the eclectic mix of those who made SoHo what it is today.

We highly recommend, especially during pride when you can book a pride package.
