This hotel is made up of three different buildings - the Arch House, the Cigar House and the Island City House. Each has a distinct style and the buildings are set among lush tropical foliage in the quiet residential area of Key West.
We stayed in the Arch House, which has a private bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, a balcony with a hammock, sitting room/living area, and a queen-sized bed set into an alcove. It’s all spotlessly clean and tastefully furnished.
The pool is lovely, there are bikes for hire and the buffet breakfast in the courtyard is well worth getting up for.
It’s the oldest guest house in Key West, and while it’s in the quiet area, it’s only five minutes’ walk from Duval St and even closer to the marina waterfront area.
Staff are friendly and helpful and will organise boating and snorkelling tours for you at the front desk.
Rooms come at a range of prices for different parts of the hotel and different times of year, so it’s best to check on the website.
