Historic Key West hotel offers elegant rooms two blocks from Duval St.

As a historic Key West hotel, the Key Lime Inn holds a place on the National Historic Register. Constructed in 1854, the hotel underwent an award-winning restoration in 1999, and today, the Key Lime Inn offers classic accommodations with modern amenities at the center of the Old Town area-just two blocks from the famous nightlife of Duval Street and walking distance to restaurants, attractions, and sights of Key West's historic neighborhoods. Bike rental shops near the Key Lime Inn make it easy to explore the island, from the beach to Mallory Square.

Highlights
  • Central historic district location, two block from Duval Street
  • Free downtown parking
  • Quiet, off-street gardens with deck and pool
  • Wi-Fi access (free)
Rooms

The Key Lime Inn has 37 rooms in several buildings spread out across an acre of prime Old Town real estate. Accommodations are tailored to couples, and most all of the rooms feature either queen or king beds. All guestrooms have private baths, cable TVs, hairdryers, irons, climate control, and security safes.  The larger superior and deluxe rooms come with mini-refrigerators and coffeemakers, and the deluxe rooms also feature private patios. 

Features

The centrally located Key Lime Inn sits about midway between Smathers Beach and Mallory Square, and the downtown, historic hotel offers free parking. Garden paths wind through the one-acre, AAA 3-diamond property, and the secluded inner garden boasts a sun deck with chaise lounges and an outdoor pool surrounded by palm trees. The Key Lime Inn serves continental breakfast poolside each morning, and guests can log on to free Wi-Fi in the pool area. An on-site bike rack and two nearby bicycle-rental shops make it easy to explore historic Key West.

Great getaway

Conveniently located just 2 blocks away from the wonderful Key west night life. Very courteous and helpful staff and rooms are small but cozy. They do not have enough parking but you will always manage to find parking on the street. I definitely would recommend this hotel.

Birthday getaway

Very friendly staff. Away from all the noise of Duval Street. The grounds could use some refreshing. The Carpets need to be replaced.

Fantasy Fest - 2011

I'm not so sure why some others have written so badly about the Key Lime Inn, I found it to be well suited for our needs. It is about a 15 minute walk to the center of Duvall street and perfect for a Fantasy Fest stay. The room was clean, the staff was very nice and the grounds were well kept. The breakfast was just so- so, but I wasn't there for that, a good breakfast is only a few minutes walk away.

Awesome Couple Getaway

My fiance and I had such a great experience at this hotel. We were welcomed by warm friendly employees. They told us where we could rent bikes and recommended great places to eat. We were upgraded to a king deluxe which was nice. The room was spacious and clean. The water pressure was a little low but it was fine. The grounds were clean, the breakfast was adequate, they had cereal, muffins, bagels, english muffins, fruit, coffee. The hotel is located at the far end of Duval St. so it is a great idea to rent bikes and go up and down the strip.
