Azul Key West is a classic Victorian mansion, just three blocks from Duval Street and Hemingways House. Located in the center of Key Wests Historic District, this former cigar barons mansion boasts tri level, downpour blue decks which surround the carriage house, outbuildings and a shimmering swimming pool. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Azul Key West was exquisitely crafted by local carpenters and shipwrights until its completion in 1903. Testament to a time gone by, when Key West was the United States wealthiest city per capita, this fanciful structure complete with spiral staircases, wooden verandas and gingerbread whimsy remains to this day a beautifully restored work of art. Kickstart your stay with a healthy breakfast which includes fresh fruits, tropical yogurt, cereals, juice, toast, eggs, preserves, coffee or tea and a selection of our freshly baked muffins. Then head out for a day sightseeing in town or snorkeling, jet skiing, sailing, ecoadventuring and more on the water. And later on if its night life you are looking for, that is when Key West really lights up. Known as a dining mecca and cultural center for theatre, galleries and shows, the town is equally renown for its festivals, frivolity and general joie de vivre.
In fact you are just as likely to see a fire eater or sword swallower as you are a spectacular sunset or stylish exhibit. And later on, at the end of an evening, retire to Azul which remains far from the madding crowd and yet so close to everything.
