The Artist House - A Victorian mansion in Old Town with turret suite and historic Robert the Doll legacy

Located half a block from Duval Street, this restored Queen Anne Victorian mansion stands as one of Key West's most photographed historic buildings. The Artist House features seven meticulously decorated rooms with queen or king beds, updated private bathrooms, and 12-foot ceilings. The property's signature Turret Suite includes a double bed in an octagonal space with seven tall windows. The complimentary breakfast, served from 8:30 AM to 10:00 AM in the Orchid Garden Courtyard, offers Cuban sandwiches, quiche, and fresh-squeezed Florida orange juice. Each room comes equipped with an in-room Keurig, Tea Forte teas, mini-fridge, and individual climate control. This Key West hotel welcomes pets up to 50 pounds for a $50 fee per stay. The property sits within walking distance of the Historic Seaport District, restaurants, art galleries, and Nancy Forester's Secret Garden.

Pros

One of Florida's few authentic original Victorian buildings from the 1890s

Former home of celebrated painter Robert Eugene Otto and pianist Anne Otto

Colonial Queen Ann architecture features graceful columns and gingerbread details

Featured on Discovery Channel, A&E Television, and ABC's Good Morning America

Cons

Historic building's narrow hallways and doorways limit wheelchair accessibility

Breakfast service ends at 10:00 AM

“This hotel, a photographed Key West house, retains authentic Victorian style with gourmet breakfasts and a social happy hour. I was drawn to its unique blend of historical charm and modern comfort, a serene retreat a short walk from Duval Street. The architecture alone sets it apart, offering a tranquil garden oasis amid the lively surroundings.”
