Frommer's Review

Ideally situated at the very end of Duval Street in the middle of Old Town's action, the Westin Key West (formerly the Hilton) is a prime spot from which to enjoy sunsets as well as that hard-to-find, quietly elegant ambience that's so lacking in most big resorts here. The rooms are large and well appointed, with all the modern conveniences and that Westin signature Heavenly Bed. Choose a suite in the main building if you want a Jacuzzi in your living room. Otherwise, the marina building has great views. The secluded beach is great for an escape from the Duval Street frenzy. For $20 per person, you can also enjoy the Westin's private Sunset Key beach, accessible only by the hotel's launch at the marina. Bistro 245, the elegant dining room, serves ample breakfasts and a huge Sunday brunch.

Westin's gorgeous Sunset Key Guest Cottages, with whitewashed interiors and fabulous views, are 500 yards offshore on Sunset Key and are accessible only by private launch. Check in at the Westin Key West and take a 10-minute cruise to the island, where there are no cars -- only a beach, restaurant, bar, and free-form pool with whirlpool jets. Cottages are equipped with full kitchens; high-tech entertainment centers; and one, two, or three massive bedrooms. Sunset Key guests have access to all watersports at the Westin.

Facilities: 2 restaurants; pool bar; outdoor heated pool; health club; Jacuzzi; watersports equipment rental; bike rental; game room; concierge; business center; limited room service; in-room massage; self-service laundry; dry cleaning; full-service marina.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
