Hotels Offering LGBT Pride Packages

Where To Stay To Celebrate SCOTUS Decisions

The Supreme Court of the United States issued an important pair of rulings today, effectively deeming unconstitutional the Defense of Marriage Act, a law from 1996 denying federal rights to married same-sex couples, and dismissing the appeal to Proposition 8, allowing same-sex marriage to resume in California.

So, where does one stay in order to celebrate this monumental day in history?

Many hotels are now offering special "pride packages" in honor of LGBT Pride (and not just in June!). Here are some to check out:

Preferred Hotel Group: The hotel collection's Preferred Pride program is in its third year with over 120 participating locations around the globe. This year's Preferred Pride package features the best available rate and a property-specific amenity, ranging from a massage to free WiFi and a bottle of wine.
