The Marker
Historic Seaport
One of the few genuinely full-service hotels on the island, on the harbor and walkable to everything. Three pools, which matters more here than it sounds.
EYW · Florida
Nonstop into Key West, FL
24 U.S. airports fly here without a layover, grouped by how long you'd be in the air.
Key West is closer to Havana than to Miami and behaves accordingly. The island is four miles by two, the highest natural point is about eighteen feet, and nearly everything worth doing is inside a bike ride.
Duval Street is the strip everyone photographs and the least interesting part of it. One block either side you get lanes of conch houses, roosters that belong to nobody, and bars that were there long before the bars became an attraction.
Winter and spring are the season and they price like it. Late summer is hot, quiet and cheap, and inside hurricane season, which is a trade some people will happily make.

Nonstop route data from the U.S. Department of Transportation (BTS T-100), covering 2025-06..2026-05, last updated 2026-09-02. Domestic routes only. Airlines change schedules, so an advisor confirms before you book.
In Key West
Where to stay
Casa Marina
Atlantic side
Flagler's 1920 oceanfront hotel, with the only real beach attached to a hotel in Key West. A twenty-minute walk from Duval, deliberately.
The Gardens Hotel
Old Town
Seventeen rooms around a walled tropical garden, one block off Duval and about thirty decibels quieter.
What to do
Dry Tortugas National Park
Seventy miles west by catamaran to a huge nineteenth-century brick fort standing in open water, with snorkeling straight off the sand. Book this before you book anything else.
The Hemingway Home
On Whitehead Street, where he wrote a good deal of his best work. Around sixty cats still live there, most of them six-toed and descended from his.
Sunset at Mallory Square
Undeniably a circus, and still worth doing once. Arrive forty minutes early or you will be watching it over someone's shoulder.
Fort Zachary Taylor
The best beach on the island, inside a state park at the end of the road, with shade and clear water. This is where locals go.
Where to eat
Blue Heaven
In a Thomas Street yard where Hemingway is supposed to have refereed boxing matches. Breakfast under the trees with chickens underfoot. Michelin-listed now, which has not changed it much.
Café Solé
A small French-Caribbean kitchen tucked into a residential lane, run by a chef from Provence. Order the hogfish.
Key lime pie, anywhere
Every restaurant on the island claims the best one. The only reliable test is the color: real key lime filling is pale yellow. If it is green, that is food coloring and you are in the wrong place.
