Gay hotels in Miami are most likely to be found in South Beach, the neighborhood with the densest queer infrastructure. The most well-known address for gay travelers is the Hotel Gaythering, a boutique house built in 1958 near Lincoln Road. Aimed specifically at adult guests, the hotel has its own bar, one of the district's popular meeting places, and a men-only spa with sauna, steam room and hot tub. In addition, there are fixed weekly events such as karaoke or bingo evenings, which make the house a place with a community character.
In addition to the gay theatre, South Beach offers numerous gay-friendly hotels in the Art Deco buildings along Ocean Drive, Collins Avenue and the side streets. The location decides a lot: If you are looking for the nightlife and the gay beach on 12th Street, it is best to live centrally in South Beach. Houses further north in Mid-Beach or mainland Miami are a bit quieter and often cheaper. An alternative is the area around Fort Lauderdale and Wilton Manors, where there are their own gay-oriented resorts and guesthouses. Plan early if your visit falls during peak winter season or Miami Beach Pride in April, as prices will rise significantly. The following selection will help you find the right location and the right house.
