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.
