Looking for something more personal? Tell us how you like to travel, and we’ll help shape your time in Key West around it.

 

The rituals to Look Forward to

Each of our five inns has its own rhythm, with signature moments that give you another reason to linger before heading out into Key West. As a guest of Key West Historic Inns, you’re invited to experience them all. Wander between our five properties, discover a new favorite, and make each inn part of your stay through complimentary daily rituals created to bring you a little closer to the character of each one.

Beyond Our Front Door

Go Find Your Key West

Bike the streets of Old Town. Sail out for sunset. Snorkel clear blue water. Spend an afternoon at the Historic Seaport, wander Duval Street after dark, or follow the locals to a favorite restaurant. Our inns put you close to it all, but what you do next is entirely up to you.

We’ve gathered our favorite places, experiences, and ways to see the island so you can explore Key West like you’ve been here before.
