Parrot Key Hotel & Villas

On the waterfront along Florida Bay in Key West, minutes from Historic Old Town, Smathers Beach and the Southernmost Point. This waterfront resort sits on five acres of palm-studded grounds, a short drive or complimentary shuttle from Duval Street and local museums.

Parrot Key Hotel & Villas pairs Conch-style design with the island's largest rooms and suites. Expect private balconies or patios with ocean or tropical landscape views, refrigerators and large flat-screen TVs in spacious, individually decorated rooms. The property is non-smoking and set among award-winning gardens and palm groves.

Four secluded outdoor pools each sit in their own garden paradise, plus a fitness center and bicycles to rent. Guests can kayak from the bay, book on-site massages, and catch the complimentary shuttle to Old Town. Mornings bring sea-breeze starts; afternoons bring poolside cocktails at the bar.

Complimentary wireless internet and a business center keep work on track. The hotel also offers a 24-hour front desk, multilingual staff, safe deposit boxes, dry cleaning/laundry and onsite (limited) parking.

Dine poolside at The Grove Kitchen & Bar or grab lunch at Cafe Blue and the casual on-site café. The poolside bar serves drinks throughout the day, cooked-to-order breakfasts are available daily for a fee, and limited room service is offered.
