    The Key West Hotel sits directly on Duval — you trade beach access and quiet for being in the middle of Old Town's nightlife with a courtyard pool to retreat to.

    AskTheKeysAskTheKeys Decision Summary

    The Key West Hotel is best for couples and value-conscious adults who want a Duval Street boutique hotel with heated courtyard pool and walkable access to Old Town dining, shopping, and nightlife. It is not ideal for families with young children, beach seekers, or guests expecting full-service resort amenities.

    The Key West Hotel (formerly Casa 325) is a boutique hotel located directly on Duval Street at 325 Duval in Old Town Key West, offering a heated courtyard pool, tropical landscaping, and an adults-only atmosphere in the heart of Key West's main corridor. The property provides immediate access to restaurants, bars, galleries, and nightlife without needing to walk more than a few steps, making it one of the most walkable stays on the island. Its mid-range pricing and on-Duval address appeal to travelers who want to be at the center of the action while still having a quiet courtyard retreat to return to.
