Key West Luxury Hotels
Florida’s answer to the Caribbean, Key West has more of a cosmopolitan feel than the other Florida Keys. With warm temperatures and a relaxed attitude to life, this exclusive island is the ideal choice for the discerning holiday visitor. It combines the best aspects of a beach resort with up-and-coming art galleries, intriguing museums and a plethora of well-known residents. President Harry Truman wintered here and the great American writers Ernest Hemingway and Tennessee Williams both called the island home.
Travel in Key West is shaped by the water, with boat, canoe and kayak rentals offering one of the best ways to explore the complete coastline. Bespoke cruises provide visitors with an opportunity to explore the bay in comfort, with routes tailored to your specific interests. The water is not the island’s only attraction, however. Inland, there are numerous historical and cultural attractions. Key West holds some sights of exceptional natural beauty, with unmissable sunsets which are best viewed from Mallory Square. Key West reviews never fail to mention the fascinating Ernest Hemingway House, which gives an insight into the private life of one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. The Little White House also has an interesting history. Built in 1890 as a naval command center, it later served as a winter White House for President Truman and was also used as a tactical base for other American Presidents during the Cold War.
Visitors to this delightful island can be assured the highest quality accommodation. Luxury hotels in Key West are plentiful and cater to all tastes, from elegant ‘conch’ residences built by the original settlers, to modern, air-conditioned beach resorts. If you’re looking to get away from it all, the island also offers a range of exclusive spa resorts. Key West luxury hotel rates reflect the high quality of the accommodation, but renting could be a more cost-effective option if you’re considering a longer stay. There are numerous well-appointed beach houses available, giving you the perfect base to head out and explore all of the Florida Keys.
Luxury hotels in Key West are spread across the island and choosing where to stay should be guided by the type of atmosphere you are looking for. The Historic Seaport is the area where the original founding families of Key West settled. Buildings here reflect the classical elegance of the eighteenth century and the tree-lined avenues are relaxed, shady and quiet. The quiet Casa Marina area also has a range of high-end accommodation options and is ideally located for the beach, shopping areas and cultural attractions. For a truly unforgettable visit, look for accommodation in Key West’s gated Truman Annexe neighborhood—an exclusive area named for President Truman, who used to stay in this area during the winter.
The southernmost of the Florida Keys, Key West is located between Havana and Miami. Visitors can fly directly to Key West International Airport from a number of cities across Florida, including Miami, Atlanta and Orlando International. Alternatively, you can hire a car from Miami International Airport. For drivers, the route is straightforward—just follow the Florida Turnpike until you see signs for the Keys. Another option is to hire a private boat to ferry you across in style. Public shuttles in the form of ferries and buses are also available.
