Dit jaar is de organisatie van de Amsterdam Gay Pride aan de beurt. In totaal zal het festival in de zomer maar liefst 15 dagen en drie weekeinden gaan duren. Het eerste weekeinde (23/24 juli) wordt Roze Zaterdag gevierd in combinatie met een Europees ‘mensenrechten-concert’.

    AXEL HOTELS: A DREAM TURNED INTO A VERY SUCCESSFUL REALITY Axel Hotels is the first hotel chain in the world created for the LGBTI community, following a ‘hetero-friendly’ philosophy, where everyone is welcome to visit, stay and enjoy. Spaces at Axel Hotels are designed and developed by and for the gay public, whilst open to everyone. 1 AXEL HOTELS EVERYTHING STARTED AS A DREAM… Juan Juliá, Founder and President of Axel Hotels, dreamed for years of opening a hotel for the LGBTI community, but open to everyone. Hotels with great design, cosmopolitan and liberal places, where diversity and respect are greatly valued. Therefore, it was not a coincidence that the first ever Axel Hotel was located in Barcelona, one of the pioneer gay-friendly cities in the world. Following this example, all Axel Hotels have been carefully located in destinations with a strong presence of LGBTI community. The construction of the Axel Hotel Barcelona, which opened its doors in 2003, was just the beginning of a dream that is now in a global expansion. 2 COSMOPOLITAN HETEROFRIENDLY INTEGRATION DIVERSITY THE AXEL PHILOSOPHY BRAND VALUE AN INNOVATING CONCEPT Free and tolerant spaces where anyone is welcomed, respected RESPECT and valued without any prejudice. Hotels conceived, developed and designed for and by gay people, but open to everyone. HETEROFRIENDLY PHILOSOPHY 3 EXPERIENTIAL MEETING POINT INNOVATION HETEROFRIENDLY THE AXEL PHILOSOPHY BRAND VALUE AN INNOVATING CONCEPT: QUALITY OF SERVICE COSMOPOLITAN WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT ATMOSPHERE More than a hotel, we offer our guests a global experience: many opportunities for leisure, a global lifestyle and a meeting point taking care of the smallest details, to make stays an unforgettable experience.
