La Mer and Dewey House

An award-winning boutique hotel offering historic charm and turn-of-the-century style, La Mer & Dewey House is set among tropical gardens and shaded by graceful palm trees.

The hotel overlooks the beach and has idyllic views from the terrace and balconies but is also close to the historic Key West old town.

There are just 19 rooms decorated in a contemporary but classical style with ceiling fans, shuttered windows and views of the garden or ocean. A lovely continental breakfast, that includes waffles made to order, is served on the outdoor terrace each morning.

Guests also have access to three pools, two private beaches with beach chairs, a tanning pier, fitness centre, two pool bars with oceanfront dining and concierge services.
