The Artist House - A Victorian mansion with turret suite, historic charm, and gourmet breakfast in Old Town

Located in the heart of Old Town, just half a block from Duval Street, this restored Queen Anne Victorian mansion stands as one of Key West's most photographed historic buildings. The three-star Key West hotel features seven meticulously decorated rooms with queen or king beds, updated private bathrooms, and 12-foot ceilings. Each accommodation includes a Keurig coffee maker, Tea Forte teas, mini-fridge, and individual climate control. The Artist House serves a complimentary gourmet breakfast from 8:30 AM to 10:00 AM in the Orchid Garden Courtyard, offering Cuban sandwiches, quiche, and fresh-squeezed Florida orange juice. The property welcomes dogs up to 50 pounds for a $50 fee per pet. Guests can access WiFi throughout the property and enjoy private balconies in select rooms. Situated within walking distance of the Historic Seaport District and Old Town's restaurants, the mansion provides access to Nancy Forester's Secret Garden and various art galleries.

Pros

One of Florida's few authentic original Victorian buildings from the 1890s

Former home of celebrated painter Robert Eugene Otto with preserved architectural details

Features a distinctive turret with seven tall windows and octagon-shaped space

Daily mimosas included with breakfast service

Cons

Historic building lacks complete wheelchair accessibility

Some rooms accessed via narrow staircases

“I found this to be a truly special place, steeped in Key West history yet remarkably close to Duval Street's lively atmosphere. The authentic Victorian design stands out, and the complimentary gourmet breakfast, with its focus on local flavors, is a delicious touch. The social happy hour seems ideal for connecting with fellow guests, contributing to a genuine sense of community.”
