Learn more about Key West

Hemingway's ghost still haunts the bars where he once drank, while roosters strut through streets with more confidence than tourists. At Mallory Square, sunset becomes theater as fire-jugglers and troubadours compete for attention. The Southernmost Point buoy draws selfie-seekers, though locals know the actual southernmost spot lies elsewhere. Tour the author's six-toed-cat-filled home before cooling off with key lime pie that sparks debates about meringue versus whipped cream. Snorkel at Fort Zachary Taylor, then wander Duval Street where T-shirt shops give way to sophisticated galleries. The Truman Little White House reveals presidential history, while the nightly parade of characters proves that in Key West, being normal is the only real sin.

  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on factors like the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay at a Key West hotel. If you're in search of something special, boutique hotels can provide a more personalized experience and potentially better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price appears to be higher, we’ll suggest alternative dates that may offer more affordable options, increasing the likelihood that you could save.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city center usually tend to be pricier, but thanks to Key West's fantastic public transportation options, you might discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit farther out that’s still well-connected. If you're interested in exploring alternative, less crowded neighborhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, you can often find great value for your money. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
