About this place Gay Paradise Suites St. Pete

Gay Paradise Suites is a dedicated gay men's guesthouse in St. Petersburg's Grand Central neighbourhood, a short drive south of Largo. Clothing-optional around the pool and hot tub, it's a small, adults-only property aimed squarely at gay travellers who want a relaxed, sociable base rather than a big chain hotel. Suite-style rooms give couples and groups more space, and the owner hosts regular poolside gatherings. St. Petersburg is Tampa Bay's most concentrated LGBTQ+ destination — the Central Avenue bar strip, beaches, and June's St Pete Pride are all close by — making a men's-only guesthouse like this a natural fit for a gay getaway. It's one of the very few explicitly gay accommodations in the region, as opposed to the many welcoming-but-mainstream hotels around Largo and the beaches.

Had an amazing stay at Gay Paradise Suites in St. Pete! The property is incredibly clean, well-maintained, and welcoming from the moment you arrive. Ken, the owner, was so kind and helpful throughout the stay and really makes you feel at home. The backyard is absolutely beautiful — a perfect tropical oasis with a relaxing pool area that feels private, peaceful, and ideal for unwinding after a day out. Everything is thoughtfully kept up and spotless, which really stood out. It’s also a fantastic place to stay while traveling, whether you’re just passing through or spending a few days exploring the St. Pete area. Comfortable, relaxing, friendly, and conveniently located — definitely recommend staying here!

My Husband and I visited from Washington DC and stayed in the Marilyn Monroe Suite with our host Ken and Theodore his pup for 11 nights. We can honestly say that every day seemed better than the last and how sad we were to have to leave and go back home to our business and the everyday grind. We both look forward to getting back to St. Pete and The Gay Paradise Suites soon. Ken was very hospitable and we feel like we have a new friend in Paradise ! Thanks again Ken sincerely Mark and Daniel :) :)

A friend recommended Gay PARADISE. I am so glad he did. What you find is a very welcoming place that is extremely sexy! It boasts a lagoon that is a perfect depth to socialize and get wet at the same time! Evening events include Social party, foam parties and leather events. The hot tub is an ideal way of meeting other guests. Clothing optional. No judgements, a place to be yourself and have fun!
