Key West Hotels

Key West Aquarium
Key West Aquarium is the perfect place to spend some time, especially if you have kids in tow. Built between 1932 and 1934 during the Great Depression the Key West Aquarium was one of the first and largest open air aquariums at the time.

Nancy Forrester's Secret Garden
Nancy Forrester's Secret Garden is a hidden gem among more touted gardens, as it truly does feel secret and far removed from the more raucous goings-on in town. Nancy, who lives on the property, invites you to bring lunch (but no cell phones!) into her oasis of lush palms, orchids and chatty caged parrots and macaws.

Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum
Pirates and Hemingway make up much of the island's lore and legend, so it's no surprise there are museums dedicated to both. The Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum offers tours every half hour, during which bearded docents spin yarns of Papa. You'll see his studio, hear about his unusual pool, and witness scores of descendents of his six-toed cats - famous all on their own - languishing in the sun, on furniture, and pretty much wherever they feel like.
