Earlier in 2015, Highgate Hotels opened The Gates Hotel Key West in Florida. This new boutique hotel in Key West sits at the island’s entrance, welcoming visitors to this sun-soaked paradise.
Wherever you decide to stay, book via our luxury travel concierge. We offer free upgrades, free breakfasts, and free perks at hotels, including Four Seasons, Aman, Belmond, Hyatt, Ritz-Carlton, Marriott, InterContinental, and more. You also get your usual Marriott Bonvoy, Hyatt, Hilton, and other loyalty points and status benefits when you book with our concierge.
This hotel offers an intimate setting and celebrates the island’s colorful history and creative spirit. Mixing contemporary design and retro Floridian flair, guestrooms feature modern amenities that uniquely combine upscale sophistication and polished service with the island’s casual, laidback vibe.
The hotel’s lobby features a unique pecky cypress wall, light wood, and a community table. Guestrooms mix rustic with modern elements with exposed whitewashed beams, custom platform beds of hand-washed cypress, petrified wood tables imported from Bali, and hand-selected rugs. Rum Row is the hotel’s lively pool, bar, and lounge scene. Here guests can kick back in true Key West style with live music, handcrafted cocktails, and regionally inspired tapas. The former Quality Inn has been hugely improved and now offers a modern luxury design which was worthy of a review and a visit. It also offers a regionally inspired food and beverages program.
A unique dining option is The Bling Pig, a new Key West food truck that is permanently parked at the hotel. Dishes include “conch fusion” small bites and tapas inspired by Key West’s Cuban, Bahamian, Caribbean, and Floridian roots.
Hop on a scooter or bike and head to Mallory Square for the island’s famous sunset celebration. Find a party, bar or live music performance and lose yourself on Duval Street. Stroll the quiet lanes of Key West’s subdued residential neighborhoods in search of architectural splendor and a sense of peace. Enjoy a sun-splashed afternoon on the beautiful beaches of Fort Zachary Taylor State Park. All of this and more is within reach of this refurbished boutique hotel.
