Casablanca Hotel Key West: Historic Elegance in Old Town
Casablanca Hotel Key West, originally known as the Walton House, has stood since 1898, exemplifying historic charm and architectural elegance from a bygone era. Situated prominently on Duval Street in the heart of Old Town Key West, this distinctive property was frequented by celebrated literary icons including George Bernard Shaw, William Butler Yeats, and James Joyce. Its notable guest history also includes visits by Irish patriot Patrick James Kehoe in 1931, and the legendary Humphrey Bogart in 1937, whose memorable evenings dining with Ernest Hemingway led to the hotel’s current namesake.
Today, Casablanca Hotel integrates two of Key West's exceptional historic structures, offering guests an authentic island retreat amidst tropical serenity. The hotel features spacious, airy rooms complete with hardwood floors, private bathrooms, televisions, and air conditioning—some also include private balconies. An inviting swimming pool and a private sun deck complement the tranquil inner brick courtyard lushly landscaped with native tropical flora.
Conveniently located adjacent to the iconic Hemingway House, Casablanca provides easy access to Key West's beaches, boutique shopping, vibrant nightlife, diverse dining, and numerous water sports, while maintaining a peaceful ambiance. Due to the hotel’s historic design, some rooms are accessible only via stairs, with no elevator available. Guests requiring ground-level accommodations must request this at booking, subject to availability.
