Trump International Hotel & Tower

This 52-story luxury hotel on Central Park West is a sophisticated base for LGBTQ+ travelers in New York City.

Its Midtown spot means you're steps from the 59th Street-Columbus Circle subway, so getting to any Manhattan neighborhood, attraction, or gay-friendly bar is easy. Central Park itself is right across the street.

Rooms go from studios to two-bedroom suites, all with high-end finishes. Expect floor-to-ceiling windows (many looking onto Central Park), marble bathrooms, and basics like WiFi, flat-screen TVs with Blu-ray players, and iPod docks. Most units have a kitchen or kitchenette, which helps if you don't want to eat out every meal. Plenty of living areas come with pull-out sofas, and some even have dining rooms with crystal chandeliers.

You'll find two restaurants and terrace seating on-site. This is the kind of upscale hotel that suits travelers after comfort, convenience, and a central Manhattan location near both major attractions and the city's gay scene.
