Hotel Belmar in Costa Rica is excited to support and embrace the LGBTQI+ community this summer with its 2024 Live & Proud events.On June 22nd, the hotel invites visitors to participate in the LGBTQI+ workshop entitled “LGBTQI+ Social Activism, Empowerment, and Leadership in Rural Communities.” The event will focus on queer movements that have thrived outside of traditional urban centers. There will also be a general presentation on LGBTQI+ history. During these events and throughout June, 10% of every craft beer sold at Hotel Belmar will be donated to Monteverde Diverso, a local grassroots and advocacy non-profit.
The property is known for its inclusivity and cultural experiences. Its artist residency draws creative types from all over the world–and from all backgrounds–to seek inspiration in the cloud forests of beautiful Monteverde in Costa Rica. The hotel organizes LGBTQI+ themed experiences all year long, inviting queer musicians and guest speakers to be part of the Hotel Belmar experience. 
Earlier this year, the property collaborated with Monteverde Diverso to celebrate Monteverde’s second edition of its Pride parade. The hotel’s onsite bar and brewery, Cerveceria Belmar celebrated with live music, joining other local events including outdoor cinema and workshops that engaged families and the LGBTQI+ community.
Hotel Belmar’s Managing Director Pedro Belmar said, “Nature teaches us that diversity fosters strength and resilience. In celebrating Pride, Hotel Belmar is honored to champion equality and inclusion. We believe that a diverse society built on empathy is a catalyst for enriching culture, inspiring art, and strengthening community.”
In June, Hotel Belmar will offer a special 15% discount on accommodations to welcome everyone who wants to enjoy the authentic charm of Monteverde and celebrate inclusion and equality. To take advantage of the discount, simply use the code: PRIDE15.
