A new website might offer some insights.

A site put together by an organization known as Worldwide Rainbow Hotels helps LGBT consumers find and book hotels that genuinely understand their travel needs — and budgets.

How do they define genuine? According to the website, the criteria go far beyond the decor. Sure, it’s a given that hotels are screened for their location and amenities, but also for their knowledge of the local gay scene. In addition, their compliance with non-discrimination policies and same sex benefits for their workers are also examined.

The site boasts listings from dozens of global establishments. They range from big names to small boutiques. Your cup of tea? Check it out.
