From the many queer-owned small businesses to larger establishments prioritizing providing a safe, inclusive experience for every guest, Chicago stands at the forefront of developing a healthy, respectful, and accepting environment for all.
Among all the booming industries in Chicago’s business world, the travel and hospitality industry is undoubtedly a leading player and showcases Chicago’s inclusiveness the most. This year, Renaissance Chicago Downtown Hotel is recognized as a 2022 Gay Travel AwardsSM winner in the U.S. City Hotel category.

Renaissance Chicago Downtown Hotel epitomizes these values, and on behalf of GayTravel.com, we congratulate them!”
