Gay friendly hotels in Miami
For most LGBTQ+ holidaymakers, South Beach is the natural place to stay in Miami. You’ll be close to the beach, Ocean Drive, restaurants and much of the gay nightlife, with the popular gay beach nearby too. Brickell and Downtown offer a more urban Miami experience with excellent hotels but put you further from the South Beach scene. GayMapper’s recommended gay-friendly hotels range from stylish Art Deco stays to rooftop-pool luxury, helping you choose between being close to the beach action or enjoying the city from a little distance.

Miami Gay Scene
Some of the best parties in the city take place on the iconic Miami Beach, where a huge local LGBTQ+ community welcomes queer visitors, and you can party with crowds of barely dressed people. That being said, if traditional pubs and clubs are more your thing, there are plenty of places in the city to hang out and relax. Centred in South Beach, you'll find everything from pool parties and classy cocktails to underground drag shows and a historic club scene.
