Ten great Soho House locations for global LGBTQ+ travellers

For LGBTQ+ travellers, Soho House can be a useful anchor brand: wherever you land, you have a fair sense of how you’ll be received. The group positions itself as progressive and creative-led, which generally translates into a visibly queer‑inclusive and safe culture inside the Houses, even when local attitudes are mixed outside.

Here are ten countries to visit where you can access Soho House locations across the world, offering a safe and luxurious environment to enjoy yourself with no fear of discrimination.

United Kingdom

Houses: Multiple in London, Somerset, Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire, Brighton Beach House in East Sussex, and Soho House Manchester.

The UK has strong legal protections for LGBTQ+ people (equal marriage, anti‑discrimination protections in many contexts) and a long‑established queer nightlife and creative scene, especially in London, Brighton, and Manchester.

On the ground at Soho House:

• Expect openly queer members and staff, partners attending events together without comment, and regular queer‑themed cultural programming.
• London and Brighton Houses, in particular, often function as informal hubs for LGBTQ+ creatives and media professionals.

At Soho House:

• Barcelona‐area Houses are ideal for combining business with a resort or city‑break feel; you’ll see queer couples and friend groups throughout.
