We want you to escape from your everyday ruff life and immerse yourself in the verve of Hemingway’s “old school Key West”. The hotel is perfectly located at the entry point to the island and convenient to everything in New Town and across Key West. You can take a leisurely bike ride to the many close-by pet-friendly parks such as Higgs Beach Dog Park or Fort Zachary Taylor Historic Park, or if you want to get some sand between those paws, you can have some scenic beach walkies along the nearby Key West Dog Beach!

Rent a bike and explore Key West!
