I have always thought Honolulu is one of the most genuinely aloha cities for LGBTQ+ travelers - Waikiki's Kuhio Avenue has been a gay hub for decades, the beach is steps away from every bar, and Hawaii's spirit of acceptance is real. The three gay hotels in Honolulu our community books most are Polynesian Hostel Beach Club, Pacific Monarch Hotel, and Waikiki Beachside Hostel - all in Waikiki, all steps from the beach and the gay bars. With 6 gay bars listed on misterb&b and one of the US's most scenic Pride events in June, Honolulu is a genuinely unique LGBTQ+ destination. For the best local knowledge, booking through misterb&b is always recommended. 🏳️🌈
