Scene
Intimate, stylish boutique
The Orchid Key Inn is a trendy boutique in the heart of Key West's historic district. From the exterior, looks can be deceiving -- with retro-style signage near the entry to the hotel property, guests may think the hotel is dated and in need of a few updates. Quite to the contrary, the lobby, corridors, and rooms are completely renovated in a stylish, understated tropical fashion. The orchid decor theme begins in the lobby with a chic, white flower-shaped lighting fixture, a shiny white wall covered in an abstract floral design, and fresh orchids at the front desk. Continuing throughout the property, orchids and floral artwork can be found on the pool deck and poolside bar.

Features
Artistically designed pool deck and outdoor bar

Tucked in a corner, there’s a half circle-shaped hot tub, surrounded by a giant purple orchid mosaic on the wall. Located poolside, Orchid Bar serves free breakfast each morning and offers drink specials and snacks during happy hour. Guests are given vouchers for one free drink during each night of their stay.
