★ 9.4 Superb

Old Town

The Gardens Hotel

Key West's most romantic address — a collection of four historic buildings connected by half an acre of private tropical gardens with a freshwater pool, koi ponds, and a 60-year-old bronze orchid collection. The 17 rooms are individually furnished with antiques, and the absence of TVs is a feature rather than an oversight.

Old Town

Avalon Bed and Breakfast

One of Old Town's best-priced boutique options — a restored 1895 Conch House with 13 rooms, a plunge pool, and free beach cruiser rentals, all two blocks from Duval Street. The genuine B&B warmth, owner-operator hospitality, and extraordinarily central location make it one of Key West's best values.
