The Marker Key West

The Best Hotels in Key West, From Private Islands to Duval Street B&Bs | Condé Nast Traveler

"Two acres of tropical gardens. Three pools. A harborfront location with a breezy, laidback vibe yet still close to the action. Need we say more? It’s lively but not raucous. Luxurious, but not stuffy. Cool, but not so hip that it hurts. It’s just right. The 96 rooms and suites are the very picture of contemporary coastal chic, with clean lines and carpets echoing the waves just outside the oversized windows. Natural light floods these rooms, while bright pops of color in the pillows and artwork lend a sense of place without reading cliché tropical. Starboard Restaurant & Bar features all-day dining. The menu is somewhat limited but covers the basics, and the cocktails are especially enticing (who doesn’t want a Key West Spritzer with a view of the harbor?). The Marker gives you the best of both worlds—water views and a lush, tropical setting, plus proximity to the excitement of Old Town and Duval Street." - Nancy DePalma , Terry Ward, Laura Ratliff
