Are you looking for a comfortable vacation spot where you don't have to hide your pride? Stuck in your hotel in San Jose wondering if there's a gay-friendly restaurant nearby? Let our expert recommendations guide you to the perfect gay holiday, bar, hotel and more.

EASY ACCESS
TravelGuides are available online only, in convenient HTML format. Each section can be easily printed out in a practical, easy-to-read format. TravelGuides can be accessed from any computer anywhere in the world, anytime -- day or night.

CONTINUALLY UPDATED
Unlike printed travel guides, our guides are constantly updated. If a new gay hotel opens in Paris, we'll update the TravelGuide immediately -- our discovery is your find, practically in real time. When a bar closes today, we can remove it by tomorrow.

UNIQUE VOICE/STRONG OPINIONS

From our New York TravelGuide
The Mansfield Hotel (12 W. 44th St; 212/944-6050 or 800/255-5167, fax 212/764-4477; www.mansfieldhotel.com, info@mansfieldhotel.com; $149-209, suites $249-389) mixes style and sophistication. Rooms are slick and modern (if petite), the service attentive, and the amenities high-end (plush robes, Belgian linens and Aveda bath products, for example).

From our Nude TravelGuide
Hippie Hollow, Austin, Texas
A gay nude beach smack in the middle of Bush country, you ask? Yes, siree -- Hippie Hollow is a legally clothing-optional area just west of Austin on the rocky slopes around manmade Lake Travis. On Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends the madly popular Splash Day occurs, with tons of nude homos on the shores and boats flashing their goodies.
