Gay Hotel Chain Set to Launch

A New York-based hospitality group is planning to open five LGBT-oriented hotels in America before expanding overseas.

Calling itself a luxury lifestyle resort collection, G Worldwide intends to launch properties in New York, Florida, California, and Las Vegas, according to its website. The hotels are described as being "uber high-tech facilities" operated by "some of the most innovative, creative people in design, food & beverage, nightlife, events, and hospitality." No specific dates for opening are mentioned on the website, which officially launches in a month.

In February another group of New York developers made clear its intention to open a boutique gay hotel in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood.
