At a glance
Ocean Key Resort & Spa is a waterfront resort at the foot of Duval Street, beside Mallory Square in Old Town Key West.
Ocean Key sits at Zero Duval Street, where the famous strip meets the water next to Mallory Square, putting the Sunset Celebration and the whole of Old Town on the doorstep. It is a Noble House resort, bright and island-styled, recently refreshed through a multi-year renovation. Rooms and suites are colourful and individually decorated, each with a whirlpool tub and a private furnished balcony, most facing the Gulf or the harbour.
Dining and sunset-watching are the heart of a stay, at the waterfront Hot Tin Roof, the open-air Sunset Pier, and the LIQUID pool bar. There is the boutique SpaTerre, an oceanfront pool, and a fitness centre.
It leans couples and romance, gay or straight, but takes families too. Everything in Old Town, from Duval’s bars to the Hemingway Home, is a short walk away.

Further information
Dining
The resort makes the most of its waterfront position. Hot Tin Roof, named after the Tennessee Williams play, is the main restaurant, serving “conch-fusion” cooking, Florida and Caribbean flavors with local seafood, in a teak-lined room over the water. Sunset Pier is the open-air spot for drinks, casual plates, and live music as the sun goes down, right beside the Mallory Square celebration. The LIQUID pool bar handles daytime cocktails and light food, and in-room dining covers breakfast on the balcony.
Wellness
SpaTerre is the resort’s boutique spa, with treatments drawing on Balinese, Thai, and Indonesian rituals, alongside massages, facials, and nail services, and there is a fitness center on site. The oceanfront pool, with its dipping pool and large whirlpool, is the social heart of the day, with cabana-style lounging and Gulf views. Every room also has its own whirlpool tub. Beyond the resort, the warm water, snorkeling, and beaches of Key West do the rest.
Location
Ocean Key is at the very end of Duval Street, Zero Duval, on the waterfront beside Mallory Square in Old Town Key West, about the most central spot on the island. The bars, restaurants, and galleries of Duval are at the door, the Mallory Square Sunset Celebration is next door, and the Hemingway Home, Truman Little White House, and Southernmost Point are a short walk or cycle. Key West International Airport is around ten minutes by car.
USA
Getting Around The US is best navigated by a combination of air and ground transport. Domestic flights are frequent and reasonably priced, making them the practical choice for covering long distances, particularly between the coasts.
Our Experts
The thing about the USA is that it's just so diverse. It doesn't matter what you're looking for, you can find it in the USA. I personally love San Francisco because it's hotels are arty and luxurious at the same time.
There's nowhere quite like New York for an ultra-lux city break. I always recommend visiting in December for the dream Christmas experience, complete with high-end shopping, Broadway shows and walks in Central Park.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.

Luxury New Mexico: Santa Fe, Los Alamos & Breaking Bad Locations
Tailor-made HolidayNew Mexico doesn't look like anywhere else in America, and it doesn't feel like it either. The light is different, the landscape is different, and the culture, shaped by centuries of Native American, Spanish colonial, and Anglo-American layering, sits apart from anything on the coasts. This itinerary runs three threads simultaneously.

Aspen in Winter: A Luxury Gay Ski Escape
Tailor-made HolidayAspen is one of those places that rewards arriving with no particular agenda. It's one of the top luxury travel destinations in the USA. The skiing across four mountains is as good as anywhere in North America, but the town itself pulls equally hard: the restaurants are exceptional, the hotels are world-class, and the cultural life punches well above what you would expect from a mountain resort of this size.
