Lesbian owned inns around the world
When travelling, where you stay is the most important thing to consider, it’s your home for the duration of your vacation. While big chain hotels have certain benefits, there really is nothing like staying in a homely boutique hotel or inn, especially when it’s LGBTQ owned!
We are delighted to showcase these amazing lesbian owned hotels and inns around the world.
