Lighthouse Hotel

Lighthouse Hotel serves up quintessential Key West on a silver platter with bright white wooden buildings, palm-lined walkways, and afternoon mojitos on tap. This historic boutique inn blends laid-back island living with a legacy of inclusivity dating back to the mid-1800s when it first welcomed guests and became known for its ahead-of-its-time embrace of the LGBTQ+ community. The ethos of ‘everyone is welcome’ is as strong here today as it’s always been.

Mornings begin with a complimentary continental breakfast at Isabel’s Bar, named after one of the ladies in Ernest Hemingway’s life who once called the property home. Pull up a chair in this island-chic hangout for poolside lunches and mint-fresh mojitos mixed just the way Hemingway liked them. Step out to explore Old Town by cruiser bike or golf cart, with the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum just steps away and a standout concierge ready to curate sunset sails, literary walks, and local adventures.

Back at base, each serene room blends tropical warmth with a sleek, clean design, from the Hemingway Suite with its wrap-around balcony and soaking tub, to Isabel’s Loft Suite with swinging chairs ideal for golden-hour lounging. Details make all the difference here, with little touches that make you feel extra-welcome - from arrival drinks and poolside refreshers to 24/7 complimentary coffee and pet-friendly rooms.
