These welcoming hotels come in all shapes and sizes and offer a diverse array of amenities and special features you can enjoy. Whether you're looking for something romantic, like hotels with spa facilities, or are more interested in rooms better fit for a solo traveller or a group of friends, you'll find it here. What these hotels all have in common, though, is strict anti-discrimination policies and insight into some of the most popular LGBTQ-friendly activities available in town.


What are the best gay-friendly hotels in Iowa City like?


The best gay-friendly hotel in Iowa City depends on what you're looking for in accommodation. Fortunately, you can easily find what you need, thanks to the multitude of available search filters.

How can I find deals on Iowa City gay-friendly hotels?

Of course, booking a short distance away from prominent attractions can be an easy way to save while still being close to public transport routes that can get you to the action easily. Just keep in mind that these are general trends rather than solid rules, as prices fluctuate all the time and can be difficult to predict.
