Hotels Own Introduction
A Private Retreat in Old Town Key West
Tucked among three lovingly restored historic properties in the heart of Old Town Key West, Marquesa Hotel offers an intimate oasis of privacy, lush gardens and quiet sophistication. The hotel’s historic architecture is paired with thoughtful modern comforts and warm, intuitive hospitality, creating a timeless retreat where the relaxed spirit of Key West comes naturally.
A Hotel with a Sense of Home
Long before becoming a hotel, the buildings were elegant private residences, and that residential character remains at the heart of the experience. Parlors, porches, gardens and guestrooms retain an inviting sense of intimacy, giving the property the feeling of a beautifully preserved private home rather than a conventional hotel. Surrounded by tropical foliage, guests are encouraged to slow down and settle into the unhurried rhythm of island life.
Rooms Framed by Tropical Greenery
The accommodations provide a peaceful refuge from the energy of Key West, blending old-world character with understated comfort. Thoughtful details and carefully considered interiors create a sense of calm, while the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces allows the gardens and tropical surroundings to become part of the experience.
Dining at Café Marquesa
Widely regarded as one of Key West’s favourite fine-dining destinations, Café Marquesa brings an elegant yet welcoming approach to the table. Fresh ingredients, classic preparations and contemporary techniques come together in dishes that showcase the flavours of the region. It is a restaurant made for lingering over memorable meals, whether marking a special occasion or simply enjoying an evening at a slower pace.
The Quiet Side of Key West
With its historic homes, secluded gardens and deeply residential atmosphere, Marquesa Hotel offers a more intimate way to experience Key West. Just beyond its doors lies the colour and energy of Old Town, while within the property, tropical greenery and timeless architecture create a peaceful world of its own.
