Casablanca Hotel Key West

Casablanca Hotel Key West – Historic Elegance on Duval Street

Experience Timeless Charm in the Heart of Old Town Key West

Built in 1898, the Casablanca Hotel Key West stands as one of Duval Street’s most enduring landmarks, blending Victorian architecture with relaxed island sophistication. Once known as the “Walton House,” the property has hosted literary legends such as George Bernard Shaw, W.B. Yeats, and James Joyce, as well as a famed 1937 dinner shared by Humphrey Bogart and Ernest Hemingway.

Each guestroom features original hardwood floors, private baths, and air conditioning, with select rooms offering private balconies overlooking a tropical courtyard. Unlike modern chain hotels, the Casablanca retains a sense of individuality—where history, art, and Key West culture intertwine.

Beyond its inviting interiors, the brick courtyard garden and pool provide a peaceful retreat just steps away from Duval Street’s lively rhythm. Guests can enjoy a morning swim beneath swaying palms or relax poolside before exploring the island’s dining, shopping, and nightlife scene.

Positioned at 904 Duval Street, this boutique hotel places visitors within walking distance of the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum, Mallory Square, and the area’s renowned bars, galleries, and water adventures.

Due to the property’s historic architecture, some rooms are accessible only by stairs, and on-site parking is not available. Guests seeking quieter accommodations are encouraged to request courtyard-facing or upper-floor rooms.

The Casablanca Hotel’s blend of historic character, prime walkability, and tranquil ambiance makes it one of the most authentic stays in Old Town—perfect for travelers seeking an experience rooted in Key West’s storied past.
