Lighthouse Hotel - Key West Historic Inns - A historic property steps from Hemingway House with poolside bar and island-inspired dining

Located steps from the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum, this Key West hotel features one- and two-bedroom suites with lofts, patios, and kitchens. The Lighthouse Hotel combines mid-1800s architectural details with modern touches like tropical cane beds across its historic buildings. A centerpiece outdoor pool is flanked by the Mojito Bar and Café, serving American cuisine, specialty cocktails, and light fare with garden views. The property includes Isabel's Poolside Bar offering island favorites and specialty drinks during daily happy hour. Guests have access to shared bicycles for area exploration, continental breakfast from 8-10 AM, and 24/7 filtered water stations. Positioned in the heart of Old Town, the hotel sits 200 feet from the Key West Lighthouse and within 0.5 miles of Duval Street, the Key West Butterfly Conservatory, and the Southernmost Point.

Pros

Cons

“Staying here places you steps from Key West's most visited spots. The hotel blends mid-1800s architecture with modern comforts, including a lively mojito bar. I especially appreciate the free bikes for exploring the island at your own pace; it's a nice touch. In my opinion, this is a solid choice for couples or small groups wanting a bit of local flavor.”
