Key West, Florida
Key West's gay visitor center, run by the first LGBTQ+ DMO in the US
The nation's first LGBTQ+ destination marketing organization, founded in 1978 and still operating at 808 Duval Street. The storefront is the Gay Key West Visitor Center — walk in for introductions to the island's gay-owned businesses, upcoming events, and local attractions. The Guild produces Key West's marquee LGBTQ+ events: Key West Pride, Tropical Heat, Womenfest, and the Headdress Ball. Its 450+ member businesses help draw an estimated 250,000 LGBTQ+ visitors to the island annually. Key West was also the first North American city to elect an openly gay mayor.

Florida's gay resorts are spread across five cities with very different styles. Here is the statewide picture: which cities have clothing-optional men's resorts, which have gay hotels anyone can book, what each one's own site says it costs, and where to go deeper.

Key West is down to four gay-owned or gay-centered places to stay after Equator Resort closed in January 2025: two clothing-optional men's resorts, one adults-only guesthouse that welcomes everyone, and the hotel that shares its grounds with a nightly drag cabaret and the Sunday Tea Dance. Here is what each one's own site says about who can stay, where clothing is optional, what it costs and which weekends carry minimum stays.
