Twenty rooms around a private botanical garden pool. The most secluded hotel in Old Town Key West — and the most genuinely romantic.
The Gardens Hotel occupies a collection of six historic Key West structures on Angela Street — a tree-canopied street in the heart of Old Town — surrounding a private botanical garden pool that is the most secluded outdoor hotel space in the Florida Keys. The 20 rooms are distributed across the main 1875 Bahamian house, the guesthouse, and four carriage house cottages, with the garden connecting them all.
The rooms are individually furnished with antiques appropriate to the structures' age — Key West vernacular furniture, four-poster beds, and the tropical textiles that the island's Bahamian heritage demands. The cottage rooms, with their private entrances from the garden, offer the highest degree of privacy of any Key West hotel accommodation. The botanical garden pool — surrounded by orchids, bromeliads, and Cuban palms — operates as the hotel's social centre and the island's most private swimming experience.
The hotel's Angela Street location — two blocks from Duval Street's entertainment but entirely removed from its noise — gives it the most neighbourhood-appropriate position in Key West's Old Town. The morning garden breakfast service is the most civilised hotel morning meal in the city.
The Gardens Hotel is the Key West honeymoon hotel for couples who want total Old Town seclusion — the private botanical garden pool, the cottage rooms' private garden access, and the 20-room scale produce a honeymoon environment that Duval Street's larger hotels cannot approximate. The garden pool at night, lit by the Key West moon and surrounded by tropical plantings, is the most romantic single hotel space in the Florida Keys. See all honeymoon hotels →
The Gardens Hotel anniversary is for couples who value the private garden over the Gulf sunset — the botanical pool, the Old Town location, and the cottage suite's private garden entrance produce an anniversary stay that is specifically Key West in its lush, tropical intimacy. The morning garden breakfast delivers the anniversary morning correctly. See all anniversary hotels →
