The Gardens Hotel

We live in Key West and regularly enjoy the music, wine bar, and community activities at The Gardens. We recomemd it to visiting friends, who love the rooms. This beautiful classic Key West Old Town mansion shares its space with musicians, the arts, civic activism, and many non-profit beneficiaries. An intimate venue for jazz and wine with local friends mixed with the eclectic guests is one of our great pleasures in living here.

Romantic, beautiful, quiet, darling. It was just a gem.

I would have liked the wine parlor to be open just a bit later- but then, it probably wouldn’t be as quiet 😏

Only a block and a half off of the middle of Doval, this is a great place to stay! Everything here is first class, from the rooms to housekeeping to the included breakfast. The gardens are fantastic. They even have tortoises!

We stayed four nights in mid-May. Our Courtyard room on the upper level was clean, spacious, and well furnished. Very comfortable king bed. The balcony was a great place to sit and listen to live music on several of the evenings. Or to just enjoy the beautiful seclusion as the extensive trees and garden give the hotel a real sense of privacy in Old Town Key West. And to enjoy a glass of wine from the extensive selection offered by the D’Vine Wine Gallery. We parked our rental car in the hotel’s small, on-site lot upon arrival and it didn’t move again until we departed. Well worth $30 per night. And the central location allowed us (at 72 and 70, each with a knee replacement) to easily walk everywhere. Breakfasts were excellent. And special kudus to Annette – she was a non-stop dynamo single-handedly serving all the tables with efficiency. And very pleasant to talk with when a break in the flow of guests gave her a moment. Definitely a place we would stay again.
