Our Review

The Hilton Key West overlooks Mallory Square where the daily sunset celebrations are held, is very close by the party end of Duval Street but not so much that the party intrudes. It is pricey, but it sits on a primo spot of real estate, and has great views of the sunset from the balconies and rooftop.

Some perspective for those that travel, this is the top of the line resort for Key West, but is a fraction of the cost of a similar resort on Hawaii. If you stay lodgings at this price range, becoming a guest of the Hilton Key West will be a treat.

Guests of the Hilton enjoy a specific and very nice perk, they are granted limited access to a 27 acre island that is owned solely by Hilton not far offshore. The island, now called Sunset Key, is home to their exclusive "Sunset Key Guest Cottages at Hilton Key". Sunset Key is the most expensive and exclusive place to stay in the area.

Other than Sunset Key, there is no outside privacy on Key West, unless you stumble into one of the areas frequented by the homeless. If you want to get away, there is no other "away" to "get"!

This makes for a great balance.

The Hilton is within walking distance to everything. It has its own small beach which guests can enjoy for a nominal service fee of $10 per adult. This is Key West, and expectations should be that there will be small fees everywhere.

This is a good choice of lodgings if you want to participate in watersports or water related activities. It is highly recommended to visit the Marquesas or Dry Tortugas, and glass bottomed boats offer convenient reef tours.

You will also enjoy views of the docks, and you can watch as the cruiseships pull in. These huge liners are so big that the mind literally has a hard time taking them in!

Customer Review
My husband and I recently returned from this hotel and were quite disappointed in our experience. The Key West weather was beautiful, as was our surroundings, however after upgrading our room reservations to enjoy a "private balcony", we were surprised to see a cruise ship blocking our view every single day, and people mingling outside our table area during the afternoon sunset. The hotel was uncooperative in relocating us to another room. Too many other nice places exist in Key West to stay in. Do your homework!!

My wife and I have stayed here 3 times in the last 3 years, and we love it every time. Everything here is first class such as the rooms, the service, and the location. It' s our number 1 pick of hotels in the Keys.

Great hotel, and location. A bit high in price. If you have kids, hope for great weather- if the weather is not good or if there is a small craft water advisory, there are not very many things for kids to do beyond 2 days.

You are not going to believe how lush and comfortable the hotel beds are here. Down pillows, comforter and a fantastic mattress. We had a view of the cruise ship that was in port from our balcony. Sunset was fantastic. We have been to Key West many times but this was our first time staying at the Hilton. Just walk a block to Duval and shopping. We loved it!
