Oh Canada, always on the forefront of civil liberties for the gays. First gay marriage, now a gay hotel with a "clothing optional floor" and a "M2M Playspace."
Let us first say that the word "playspace" makes us want to barf, and the rest of the details about Vancouver's Fahrenheit Hotel don't really help to keep our lunch down either. Along with being "very European," the Fahrenheit provides "the hottest opportunities for the contemporary gay traveler to find what he is looking for. Our warm and friendly staff offers you a discreet haven for a truly pleasurable and memorable stay."
We're not sure why it's called the "Fahrenheit" since they doesn't even know what that is in Canada, but regardless we think a better name might be Wet Palms [link NSFW].
Vancouver's First Gay Hotel Has 'Clothing Optional' Floor [Hotel Chatter]

The first gay hotel in the world, Hotel Axel opened in Barcelona in 2003 and has had enough success to open a new branch in Buenos Aires, to be unveiled in 2007. It promises to contain the original Axel's recipe of "cutting-edge architectural designs [that] create a liberal, cosmopolitan atmosphere where you will enjoy all of the comforts you can imagine" plus lots of half-naked, tan men lying around everywhere.
The company plans to expand branches to other "cosmopolitan" cities and hopes to become the "best chain of gay hotels in the world." We pray they open one in New York ASAP since there is definitely a lack of high-concept hotels and pretentious places for gays to hang out.
