First gay boutique hotel to be opened in New York
Developers hoping to capitalise on New York's popularity with gays and lesbians
are to open the first gay boutique hotel in the city.
The Out NYC is billed as the city's first "hetero-friendly" resort, a tongue-in-cheek
reference to premises being described as "gay-friendly".
The $20 million project will see an existing building in Hell's Kitchen being
redeveloped to make a property with 123 guest rooms, a gym, spa, restaurant
and café.
The five-storey building will also include a nightclub with space for up to 750
patrons.
Local gay newspaper gay City News described it as "it the most ambitious
commercial development ever to court New York’s gay community."
The plans were announced by Parkview Developers, who must obtain a liquor
licence and a cabaret licence to proceed.
New York is frequently named as a top gay
and lesbian travel destination.
Tom Roth of Community Marketing told the
New York Daily News. “Gays and lesbians

counterparts, and New York City is the number one destination
for gay people in North America."
The three-story former homeless shelter and budget hotel at 510
West 42nd Street has been going through renovations to its
interior & kitschy facade since late last year. A $20 million
renovation by Parkview Developers will convert this former
TravelLodge & homeless shelter into The Out NYC.
One of the keys to the hotel's success may be the planned
10,000-square-foot, 750-patron dance club. Reiser and
Weiderpass are working with gay nightlife king John Blair, who
holds the cabaret license for the old nightclub that closed
several years ago on W.16thSt. in Chelsea. Along with a big gay
dance club inside , the 123-room hotel will also have a spa,
restaurant, café and shops.
