At Purple Roofs, we list thousands of gay and lesbian owned and friendly accommodations around the world - bed and breakfasts, vacation rentals, hotels, guest houses, and much more. We also list hundreds of gay and lesbian friendly travel agents and tour operators. You'll find listings from Alaska to Zambia here, and everything in-between. Unlike many other travel directories, Purple Roofs is not a simple repackaging of mainstream hotel chains for the gay and lesbian market (though we do have a couple of the gay-friendliest) - instead, we offer a numbers of locally owned accommodations throughout San Francisco - gay and lesbian owned bed and breakfasts, guesthouses, inns, hotels, and apartments in the Castro, the Mission, Civic Center, Japan Town, China Town, North Beach, and much more.

We publish gay and lesbian travel articles daily, and send out our monthly Newsletter and our Special Offer Newswire on a monthly basis. We also bring you the latest gay travel news - check out our Gay Travel News section above, or go to our regional pages for more localized gay travel news.

At Purple Roofs, we know from experience how important having gay or gay friendly places to stay while you travel can be - having a host who will treat you just like everyone else (or maybe even a little better!) and who knows the great local gay-owned and friendly bars, restaurants, and other businesses can be invaluable to help you turn your stay into an adventure.
