LIGHTHOUSE HOTEL - KEY WEST HISTORIC INNS, Key West

This prime location puts you steps from the Hemingway Home and Key West Lighthouse, and just a five-minute stroll to the shops, restaurants, and nightlife of Duval Street. The Southernmost Point is seven minutes away, and the Key West Butterfly & Nature Conservatory is eight minutes on foot. Numerous cafes and bars-including Moondog Café and Croissants de France-are within a three-minute walk. Two beaches are within walking distance, and a free bus stop is nearby for easy island exploration. The area is flat and very walkable, though parking is off-site in a public lot two blocks away.

Rooms are individually styled with historic details and modern comforts. The compact Thimble (170-22 m²) with one queen bed suits solo travelers or couples, while the Thimble Duo (325-44 m²) offers two queen beds. The Snow White Suite (40 m²) features a king bed, separate living area, and private patio. The Hemingway Suite (67 m²) is a two-story loft with a full kitchen, wrap-around balcony, soaking tub, and views of the lighthouse and Hemingway House. The Isabel's Loft Suite sleeps four with a king and queen bed across two stories and includes balcony swings. Accessible Pincushion Mobility rooms include grab bars and a removable showerhead. All rooms have air conditioning (some window units can be noisy), mini-fridge, TV, and hairdryer. Bedding is consistently described as very comfortable. Rooms facing the central courtyard or pool area may experience more noise from the bar and morning roosters.

The included continental breakfast offers fresh pastries, fruit, yogurt, eggs, breakfast meats, juices, and barista-made coffee, all served outdoors by the pool. Isabel's poolside bar opens at 8 AM for coffee drinks and transitions to cocktails and lunch (11 AM-2 PM) daily, with seasonal hours until 7 PM. The bar features weekly drag shows and live music.
