A modern hotel located right where you arrive on Key West from neighboring Stock Island, the 24 North Hotel is just a 5-minute drive from Key West Airport. You’ll want a car or bike to make the journey to popular Key West attractions like the Key West Aquarium, Key West Lighthouse, Key West Shipwreck Museum, Mallory Square, Duval Street and the Audubon House & Tropical Gardens. The hotel’s concierge can arrange things like scooter and bike rentals, snorkeling and diving and seaplane tours for the whole family. Spend your time here at the outdoor pool and sun terrace, fringed with lounge chairs and tropical palm trees. Or get in a workout at the fitness center. The hotel’s complimentary shuttle service can whisk you the short, five-minute drive to Old Town.

Guestrooms and suites have free high-speed internet access, a large 48-inch TV and luxurious bedding. And for easy meals in, you’ll appreciate the refrigerator, microwave and coffeemaker in every room. It’s worth splurging on rooms with sea views.
