The number of gay hotels in Miami is slowly growing and it’s no surprise to us at all.
When we first visited Miami it was clearly welcoming for LGBTQ+ travellers with many gay friendly and gay hotels to choose from!
We also found Miami to be a very iconic place, exactly as we had seen it in films with people on roller skates and pumping themselves up on Muscle Beach.
Combine that with the fact it’s a very trendy destination and it’s easy to see why we were quickly sold.
We also found a number of gay beaches in Miami, as well as gay bars and clubs (mainly in South Beach) – when it comes to gay destinations, Miami is a good bet!
