About This Guide
Key West has embraced pet-friendly travel with open arms, and these hotels lead the pack. Whether you're traveling with a Great Dane or a Chihuahua, each property on our list has been vetted for genuine pet welcome — not just a grudging 'pets allowed' policy, but thoughtful amenities that make your companion feel as pampered as you. Our top pick, The Almond Tree Inn, stands out for its dedicated pet concierge service and custom pet beds. Cypress House Hotel offers a particularly impressive pet menu, while The Marker Key West Harbor Resort provides a private garden area perfect for morning walks. When choosing a pet-friendly hotel in Key West, location matters as much as pet policy. We've prioritised properties near parks, walking trails, and pet-friendly restaurants so you and your companion can explore together without constant taxi rides back to the hotel.

Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Midtown
A gracious Victorian guesthouse on White Street that balances Old Town proximity with slightly lower prices than the Duval Street corridor — 16 rooms arranged around a swimming pool under century almond trees. The owners' knowledge of Key West is encyclopedic and their morning fruit breakfasts are legendary among repeat visitors.
Old Town
A magnificent 1888 Conch Republic Classic House listed on the National Register of Historic Places, with wraparound verandas, a clothing-optional pool area, and 18 rooms that retain genuine period character. The location on Caroline Street puts Sloppy Joe's, the Ernest Hemingway Home, and the Historic Seaport a five-minute stroll away.
Key West Harbor
A modern boutique resort on the harbor designed with a zero-waste philosophy — solar panels, electric boat charters, and a marine conservation partnership — without sacrificing any luxury amenity. Three pools, a water sports center, and 96 rooms with harbor views make it Key West's most thoughtfully conceived newer property.
Old Town
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
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.
South Beach
Key West's most family-friendly full-service resort, straddling Atlantic and Gulf beaches at the island's southern tip with three pools, a poolside tiki bar, and direct access to both Southernmost Beach and the Atlantic. The rooms in the Beach House are the finest, with private balconies facing the water.
