6 Fab Gay Hotels in the USA & Canada for Fall

Sept. 01 2023

by Lachlan

Things sure get chilly in North America come Fall, but we’re celebrating! After all, it means you can put on your best pair of slippers and get cozy under the covers - in a great gay hotel that is! From New York and Vancouver to Provincetown and Montreal, join us as we settle into the continent’s coziest hotels this season. Think open fires, indulgent room service, and some great insta-worthy views! See why we love Fall? 

Hotel Emblem - San Francisco

The Hotel Emblem is a Beat Generation-inspired boutique hotel that’s located in San Francisco’s theater district. The minute you walk in, be greeted by a super cozy vibe thanks to hardwood floors, dim lighting, and rich colors to turn the heat up! Along with this, Hotel Emblem offers a unique hotel atmosphere, complete with literary-themed furnishings, original art and live music.

Enjoy an evening cocktail at the in-house Obscenity Bar & Lounge - we love the name, or retreat up to your room, which comes complete with smart TVs, bathrobes, and Nespresso machines!

L'Hermitage Hotel - Vancouver

Vancouver can turn the chill factor on in Fall for sure, so finding a warm hotel to nestle into is key! Well we think L’Hermitage does a pretty good job of this. The gay-friendly hotel offers a heated swimming pool, a cozy library, and a 24-hour gym, while all rooms comes complete with fluffy bathrobes and Italian marble bathrooms.

Select rooms also offer open fireplaces to help you thaw out those frosty blues, so be sure to snag one of those! Fall is the perfect time to head indoors and soak up some culture, so luckily for you, The Vancouver Art Gallery and Queen Elizabeth Theater are within a 10 minute walk of the hotel.

StayPineapple Hotel - New York

Every bite of the Big Apple is fab, but we love Hell’s Kitchen! While Chelsea and the West Village may historically be New York’s main gayborhoods, Hell’s Kitchen has quickly nourished an active LGBTQ+ scene, with great bars, clubs, and restaurants for the community. In its heart, you’ll find StayPineapple Hotel, and with a name like that, how could you refuse?

The artful rooms are bright and colorful, and come with all the essentials for a comfortable stay. Enjoy 24-hour reception, room service, and free WiFi throughout. And it’s pet-friendly, so your furry friend can also enjoy a stay, hassle-free!

Brass Key Guesthouse - Provincetown

Nothing quite speaks of a Fall getaway to an LGBTQ+ haven more than Provincetown, and luckily, this thriving town on Cape Cod has great gay-friendly accommodation to boot! While it’s hard to choose just one, we love the intimate Brass Key Guesthouse. This adults-only guesthouse is just 5 minutes from Provincetown’s main center, however, based on all the amenities here, you may never want to leave.

We’re talking about spa services, a hot continental breakfast every morning, dreamy carpeted bedrooms with antique furnishings, and cheese platters with wine in the evening - could things get any cozier? Yes - some rooms also have slow-combustion fires, so we’ll meet you there!

Kimpton Hotel Vintage - Seattle

Sometimes settling in somewhere fabulous with a glass of red wine is the perfect way to spend Fall. Fortunately for you, the Kimpton Hotel Vintage in Seattle offers a nightly-hosted wine hour, which you can enjoy right by the common lounge’s open-fire - perfection. But there’s more!

Rooms are tastefully-decorated in warm tones of green and red as a nod to Washington’s wine country, and come complete with premium bath amenities and robes. Some even have their own open fireplaces so you can get truly snug. An in-house bar and restaurant also mean you don’t even need to venture outside if the chill factor is too much.

Gladstone House - Toronto

Unleash your artistic side with a stay at the historic Gladstone House, which is located in the heart of Toronto’s art and design district. In fact, the hotel affectionately refers to itself as being “hub of creativity since 1889.” Although set in a period Victorian building, the interior showcases a modern, garage-style aesthetic with bright colors, retro furnishings, and exposed brick walls. This place is seriously insta-worthy!

Rooms are decked out in a funky style, with all the essentials for a comfortable stay, but we have to say it’s the common areas which steal the show here. Think three in-house art galleries, a bar which hosts Friday and Saturday karaoke nights, a fitness center, and a pool table! Making new friends here is a given!
