The ultramodern—nearly minimalistic—redo of this classic Queen Anne mansion is a break from the sensory overload of Key West's other abundant Victorian guesthouses. The adults-only boutique hotel, 3½ blocks from Duval Street, combines original trim and shiny wood floors with sleek furnishings, including a curved frosted-glass-and-chrome check-in desk, leather loungers, and a state-of-the-art sound system. Spacious, serene rooms, some with private verandas, have leather headboards, flat-screen TVs, and remote-controlled fans and lights. Pros: lovely building; marble-floored baths; luxurious linens. Cons: on a busy street; weekend surcharge.
