Learn more about Key West

Hemingway's ghost still haunts the bars where he once drank, while cockerels strut through streets with more confidence than tourists. At Mallory Square, sunset becomes theatre 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.

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Key West

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Key West is between August and October, when hotel prices are lower. For a budget-friendly experience, a stay of at least 3 to 4 days is recommended to fully appreciate the area's key landmarks, cultural sites, and historical attractions. During your visit, you can enjoy stunning sunsets, lively bars, and vibrant street dancing, as well as live music performances. Additionally, you might want to partake in excursions, entertainment, festivals, boating, and biking, all of which offer great value for money.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover potential last-minute deals for accommodation in Key West, you might start by exploring the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you could find discounted rates as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, which may help you secure great savings on hotels. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool within the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, so you'll be promptly notified if prices drop or rooms become available, enhancing your chances for a budget-friendly getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your accommodation in a Key West hotel. For those seeking distinctive experiences, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we’ll recommend alternative dates that could be more affordable, helping you to potentially secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be pricier, but with Key West's excellent public transport links, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel further out that remains well connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often superb value for money available. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
