Where to stay in Key West – Our hotel recommendations

Key West is divided into three regions: Old Town, Mid Town and New Town. The northern region, however, in Old Town, is the main choice for tourists to stay. The location is privileged for being closer to the beaches and the city center.

The ideal is to visit it between the months of May and June, when the weather is more pleasant and there are not so many North American tourists who seek the main cities in the state of Florida to spend the summer months.
