Istanbul gay friendly hotels and accommodation

ISTANBUL GAY HOTEL ACCOMMODATION

WHY TO CHOOSE HOTELS RECOMMENDED BY US ?

We listed these hotels after making face to face interviews with their administrations and we were persuaded that they understand the expectations of the gay people. Our first target is to help gay people to find what they are looking for. Our motto is "Business comes next". Besides our member hotels are applying special discounts or promotions to our gay clients such as free airport transfers. Moreover, we know that frequently, in some ordinary hotels gay people may encounter some problems and they are not being treated well by some hotel managements only for being gay. We should remember that, not most of the Turkish people are yet very conscious about the gay identity as in the Western countries. If you want to adapt yourself with Istanbul's different gay culture more easily, choosing the right hotel will be a good beginning. Note that our website is open to all hotels in Istanbul and Turkey, and if you do not find here enough alternatives, that is only because most hotels in Turkey still avoid to be advertised on a gay website.
