Key West hotels

Top tips for finding the perfect Key West hotel

• Hotels in downtown Key West tend to be pricier, so if you are traveling on a budget, try to book a hotel in the eastern part of the city. The prices are much more reasonable here, and many of the hotels, such as the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton, offer free shuttle service to the downtown area.
• Having a car in Key West is useful if you want to venture to a different island, such as Stock Island, but it can be expensive to pay for parking each day. Book a room that comes with parking. The Perry Hotel Key West is a great choice that offers complimentary parking to guests.
• Want to experience Key West’s nightlife? Book a hotel in the Mallory Square neighborhood, such as the Margaritaville Key West Resort & Marina. This area has many party hotels and bars, and it is located right along the water, giving it particularly beautiful views.
• If you are traveling with your family or are just interested in finding a more quiet hotel, consider booking a resort that is slightly removed from Duval Street. The Marker Waterfront Resort is a great spot for a peaceful getaway, but it is still within walking distance of downtown if you want to go exploring and sightseeing.
• For those who want to spend most of their vacation time on the beach, book a hotel near Smathers Beach. It is the largest public beach in the area, and it is close to the airport. Access to the beach is free, but you will most likely have to pay for parking if you have a car. The Sheraton Suites Key West is a great hotel within a short walk of the beach.
