Key West is the perfect little getaway. If it was good enough for Hemingway, it’s good enough for us! The town really does a great job
at maintaining the historic key. With that said, you’ll find a lot of old hotels that call themselves “charming,” but what they really mean is “never renovated.”
To avoid this mishap, we recommend The Marquesa Hotel. The small luxury hotel property located in Key West’s historic district has
consistently maintained a 4-Diamond Award from AAA since opening 21 years ago. In addition to its 27 guest rooms there’s a delicious 50-seat restaurant, Café Marquesa. The restaurant recievd 27 For Food, 25 for Décor and 25 for Service in the 2011 Zagat Guide to Miami/South Florida Restaurants, bestowing on it the honors of “Most Popular” and “Top Food, Top Décor and Top Service” for the Key
West and The Keys section.
Earlier this year, The Marquesa Hotel received two other awards, including Travel + Leisure magazine’s “500 World’s Best Hotels” in the January 2011 issue and Condé Nast Traveler’s “2011 Gold List,” also in their January 2011 issue.
The rooms are tidy and beautifully decorated. Plus the hotel is away from the craziness of the Duval Street. And with prices starting at $150
a night, you’ll be able to relax in no time.
