Ridley House - Key West Historic Inns (Adults Only) - A Victorian and Bahamian-style retreat with wraparound balconies and tropical pool setting

Set within three historic homes-two Victorian and one Bahamian Eyebrow-this 3-star Key West hotel creates a sophisticated tropical escape one block from Duval Street. Ridley House's main building showcases ornate 19th-century Florida architecture, while wraparound balconies and white-railed porches enhance the property's historic character. The 23 air-conditioned rooms feature refrigerators, flat-screen TVs, private bathrooms with bathrobes, and complimentary toiletries. A sparkling pool sits surrounded by cushy wicker armchairs, palm trees, and leafy tropical plants, with breakfast served daily on a large covered porch nearby. Ridley House offers complimentary wireless internet access, concierge services, and loaner bikes for exploring Old Town. Key attractions within a 0.5-kilometer radius include Mallory Square, Key West Aquarium, and the Truman Little White House, while the Ernest Hemingway Home stands 0.5 miles away. The nearest beach is a 5-minute drive or 10-minute bike ride from the property.

Pros

Daily complimentary breakfast includes bagels, pastries, and breakfast burritos

Located in a verdant oasis with picket fences and low-hanging trees

Multiple restaurants within 0.3 miles, including Kermit's Key West Key Lime Shoppe and Hard Rock Cafe

Nightly happy hour features complimentary cocktails and snacks

Cons

Beach access requires transportation

“This adults-only retreat, composed of historic conch cottages, stands out for its tranquil atmosphere so close to the lively Duval Street. The architecture whispers stories of Victorian and Bahamian influences, while inside, the custom-designed loaner bikes beckon for easy exploration, and daily breakfasts promise a delightful start. For travelers seeking charm without the clamor, this property is a find.”
