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.

During your visit, you can enjoy stunning sunsets, lively bars, and vibrant street dancing, as well as live music performances.

  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.
