Not long after the much-celebrated decision to sanction gay marriage in New York there are plans for a new gay hotel in New York City. Parkview Developers has announced The Out NYC which is billed as a gay urban resort that will be a destination for both locals and tourists.

The hotel will be on 42nd Street in Manhattan between 10th and 11th Avenues. In addition to the 105-room boutique hotel, the complex includes the 11,000-square-foot XL nightclub, lounge and cabaret by John Blair, Beto Sutter, and FV Events, a 24/7 café and restaurant called Kitchen, three courtyards, a business/conference center, function space, and a wellness center.

The nightclub will open in fall 2011. The club will be open seven days a week and will include an LED wall, two dance floors, and a full stage. The hotel will come later and will have room rates starting around $250. The hotel will also have various types of function space to accommodate everything from intimate private dinners to large events and of course, weddings. For more information, visit TheOutNYC.com.
