I have always thought Boston earns its reputation as one of the most historically LGBTQ+-significant cities in the US - Massachusetts was the first state to legalize same-sex marriage in 2004, and the South End has been a gay neighborhood for decades. The three gay hotels in Boston that the misterb&b gay community books most consistently are HI Boston Hostel, Staypineapple, A Delightful Hotel, South End, and Revere Hotel Boston Common - all well-positioned for the South End gay district and the city center. With 10 LGBTQ+ venues listed on misterb&b and a Pride event in June that dates back to 1971, Boston is one of the US East Coast's essential gay travel destinations. For the best local knowledge, booking through misterb&b is always recommended. 🏳️🌈
