Marquesa Hotel

Fodor's Review:

In a town that prides itself on its laid-back luxe, this complex of four restored 1884 houses stands out. Guests—typically shoeless in Marquesa robes—relax among richly landscaped pools and peaceful gardens (you're asked to turn off your cell phones in common areas) against a backdrop of steps rising to the villalike suites. Elegant rooms surround a courtyard and have antique and reproduction furnishings, creamy-white and aqua fabrics, and marble baths. The lobby resembles a Victorian parlor, with antiques, Audubon prints, flowers, and photos of early Key West. The clientele is well traveled and affluent 40- to 70-year-olds, mostly straight, but the hotel is very gay-friendly. Pros: elegant outdoor setting, romantic, deluxe baths. Cons: street-facing rooms can be noisy.
