I don't even think I can fully review this hotel since I didn't stay here. I can say that I've been inside and it is absolutely beautiful. As someone who admires antiques, architecture of the past, and it's history. This hotel is totally cool. I walked inside to ask if they had a restroom onsite. My friend and I were eating at the restaurant in front of the hotel. Thankfully, I was greeted with cordial demeanor and given guided instructions on how to locate the restroom. The exterior of the hotel was restored, but appeared how it was years ago. Apparently, this hotel was the hot spot for celebrities back in the way back. So cool! No old mildew smell permeanting the lodging/museum. The restroom, however, wasn't something of expectations as it was completely renovated to be modern of today's standards. I was hoping to see light fixtures, sink, and toilet from the 1800's, disappointingly not. I learned quickly that was the only restroom nearby covering the attractions nearby so people frequently came and go with long lines. The restroom had an unpleasant odor of waste which was disgusting. I'm glad I had a proper shirt to cover my nose while my mouth was closed too. Overall, pretty cool hotel in a cute color too. read more

The Southernmost House - Hotels Near Me - Key West, Florida

Wonderful old house charm with all the comfort and convenience you could want in one of the most beautiful locations on Key West. We had a unique opportunity to stay in several rooms during our visit. Each was a unique experience and we love everything about this amazing house. We enjoyed the outdoor amenities as well, including the heated pool and great views from the house's several balconies. The convenience of the on-site bar and restaurant was much appreciated. The pizzas are the perfect beach-front snack (I loved the salami and hot honey, and everyone else was all about the lobster pizza). And the margaritas and mojitos are perfect, but my go to was the Frozen Key Lime Pie. Southernmost was the perfect home base for a great time in Key West. read more

We come south to avoid Dorian and the staff were all beyond accommodating, especially the front desk staff! We had a great room with a spectacular view. The restaurant on the property is a hidden gem. The location is perfect and we will be back! read more

The Southernmost House - Our view - room 201 - Hotels Near Me - Key West, Florida

I just spent 6 days in Room 101 and I can say without exaggerating it was the best hotel stay I've had in my entire life. The room, the view, the staff, the location, the food, the pool...everything was 1st class all the way. I will always stay at the Southernmost House Hotel, hopefully room 101 which is 20 feet from the ocean, whenever I visit Key West. I stayed at the Casa Marina, a Waldorf property nearby which is awesome twice last year, and this place blows it away. Stay here...you won't regret it. I love this place so much. read more

This place is magical! Great history, staff, breakfast in bed every morning! The pool is wonderful. The view and proximity to everywhere is great. Everyone is so friendly. Due to Covid the bar was closed but the beach next door had a cafe where we could get frozen drinks. I highly recommend staying here! read more

Overall consensus: great, but needs repairs. The good: Nice grounds, beautiful pool, clean rooms. Staff is nice and tries their best to be available as well as keep tourists from wandering around inside your "temporary personal space". The bar is open to the public and makes a great mojitos as well as a fantastic margarita. Towels and waters are provided. As many as you may need. Chairs line the ocean and pool. You never have to fight for a chair. Pictures here turn out amazing because of the ocean view and the house makes a beautiful backdrop. The owner Mike is a wonderful guy and makes a point to talk to any patrons he can while he is around. Friendly bunnies live here! Another great photo opportunity or experience. They love to eat Cheerios and chips :). They will come right up and eat from your hand. Free parking for patrons. The not so good: The southernmost monument is less than 100ft from this house and it is also right next to a public beach which makes it a heavily trafficked area. Our shampoo and lotions were not restocked during our 5 night stay. The cleaning staff did not notice. The quality of these items left something to be desired too considering the room costs. The building is older and shows it. It could use some upkeep. We could not use the balcony next to our second floor room (203) since it was damaged and being supposed by some struts. I assume the columns have rotted out. We had a nice stay. Thanks. read more

This hotel is one of the most amazing places I have ever stayed. It's located perfectly at the end of Duval St on the water and walking distance to the southernmost point of the US! The staff are friendly and so knowledgeable about not only the hotel, but Key West also. They sent us to a great key lime shop and gave us tips on ways to get around the city cheaply. The cafe that is attached was right on the beach with a beautiful view and the best lobster pizza I have ever had. The owner Michael came around to every table and made sure to meet each of us and ask how our stay was. I would recommended staying here to anyone visiting Key West! read more

Enjoy a beautiful of the southernmost tip at The Southernmost House, a historic landmark hotel. Inside are historical artifacts of Ernest Hemingway, 3 of the Founding Forefathers' Hancock documents and a working Edison cylinder phonograph tout bout! On the grounds, there is a fabulous restaurant called the 'Seaside Cafe at the Mansion'. I had the "The Seaside Café Signature" - Honey-Butter Lobster Biscuits, which contains Honey-Butter Biscuits stuffed with Lobster Salad. Served w/Fries served with garlic aioli sauce. DIVINE!! For dessert, you must try the pina colada key lime pie! It's a light weight cream pie with your choice of pina colada flavor on top. Yummy! Book your stay here! read more

So I am traveling from Denver Colorado and I have had the pleasure to eat and grab one of their best margaritas and mojitos. Let me tell you, someone telling you about it doesn't do it justice. The experience is in incredible you have to go and check it out for your self the food is amazing and not only that it's humbling to see the owner walking around and saying hi to everyone there. there is so much history in the home that it's a must see if you are visiting keywest. not to mention the beautiful si sets you can experience from their restaurant. read more

Super beautiful & super friendly owner! Lots of history at this house. Great views and great restaurant right outback!

Two of us ordered a frozen margarita and one ordered a mojito. These drinks were supposed to be "the best", but were some of the most disgusting drinks we have ever had. We didn't even want to bother finishing them. The server was also ridiculous. There were only three drinks that we ordered. He confused the mojito as a margarita, called out the wrong drink name, and just put it in the middle, forgetting who had ordered the drink. Then he brings out a lime margarita when a mango margarita was ordered. Terrible service and terrible drinks--typical of an establishment with a prime location/view. read more

If you read my last review, it's easy to note my long love affair and obsession with this Southernmost House. After a delightful stay a year and a half ago, I booked here again. Sadly, my love bubble burst with this last stay. I chose a "courtyard view" this time since it was just a quick getaway. Figured at least I'd still be in the house and given I already got to have the beautiful view last time there was no need to do it again. When the forecast changed and it was supposed to storm all weekend, I e-mailed requesting "potentially" changing my stay for another day. I knew they had a policy in place not allowing it, but I figured I would try anyway. Wouldn't they want a return guest to have the best stay possible? I received a very impersonal and unprofessional, ill written (all in lower case and spaced unevenly) reply stating they don't " lift policy for weather" and that I was still "due to arrive." Signed, "Reservations Department." OK. Thanks whoever you are. Checked in at around 6pm on a Friday night. No one was at the desk, but we saw our reservation papers and keys behind the desk. Room 206. Familiar with the house (or so we thought) my husband took the key and headed up to the second floor to drop off our luggage. As he went up, the woman was coming back to the front desk so I stayed with her to officially check us in. Everything was going fine until my husband came back down and mentioned to her that he couldn't find Room 206. "Oh" she laughed, "that's because it's across the street." Blank stare. What???? What do you mean across the street? " Yeah, once you reserve online, you have to call and confirm your room because if not we choose a room for you based on your description" This wasn't happening, was it? My husband had to bring down all the luggage once again only to then take it across the street. Clearly, we were not pleased so she looked up to see if there was another room she could give us. She found one. One that was about $75 more a night. Unbelievable. No, we are not going to pay that much additional per night. That's ridiculous. Last I checked, I reserved at the Southernmost House, not "the house across the street from the Southernmost House." NOWHERE on the website or my confirmation does it say that there is a potential to stay across the street. NOWHERE. How can you even charge the same rate for that? Highly deceiving. BEWARE WHEN RESERVING. I know last time I wanted a specific room and I called repeatedly about it. I didn't think I needed to babysit my reservation this time around for a simple "courtyard room." As much as I've always loved this house, if it wasn't because I knew this weekend was sold out at most hotels on the key, I would have hightailed it out of there. We decided to go with it and not fight the situation anymore. What a mistake that was! The courtyard and fountain at the house across the street were as charming as the main house. You need a key to get inside through the main door. Up the stairs we went and into our room. It was clean and spacious, but definitively not as special as "the house." The bathroom was huge, that was a plus. The room felt extremely muggy upon arrival and all through our stay. The AC never cooled enough either. The best part? I thought at first it was cool that the room actually had a decent ocean view, even though I had reserved a courtyard view. The problem was that this property sits directly behind the Southernmost Beach cafe and Southernmost Hotel (different than Southernmost House). The constant restaurant plate clanking or whatever it is they are doing at the back of the restaurant was a nuisance, as were the rowdy restaurant patrons, as was the live band of the other hotel. The room also had a shared balcony (with the rooms next door) facing all of this. I wanted to remain positive, but I couldn't. The balcony would receive the occasional "whiff" of the back of that restaurant (as in NOT PLEASANT). Want breakfast in your room? Get yourself dressed and cross the street to pick up your coffee and goods and walk back again. Same goes for pool use and the questions from the front desk as to who we were (as if we were trespassing- we sure felt like we were). Lastly, it is now 2016 and there are still no blackouts covering the windows. It was awfully bright in there after sunrise. I guess no one wants to sleep in while on vacation? Alas, none of this is what I signed up for when I was dreaming of my upcoming Key West staycation at "my house." What a way to ruin our weekend and my outlook of this hotel. Thanks Southernmost! Signed, Guest Department read more

My wife and I visited Miami followed by Key West for our honeymoon and were looking for a place to stay. We stumbled across - literally - Southernmost House. Located on famed Duval Street at the tip of the island and, I might add, the southernmost point of the continental United States (hence the name). Not a cheap stay that is for sure but the hotel rooms, the staff, the grounds and the service was 5 star all the way. Steps away from Ernest Hemmingway's house, the hotel was at one time a hang out for the famed author as well as more notorious guests such as Al Capone. Various sitting U.S. presidents have stayed there throughout the years as well. Do yourself a favour and talk to a staff member about the house's history if you have the chance. Try to resist the urge to sleep in, instead get up early and watch the sunrise while sipping a coffee. Breathtaking. Enjoy! read more

This place is magical. First and foremost the GM, Nina, is a beautiful gem. She just returned after some time away (they called back from retirement!) and she brings such a peace and sense of servanthood to the property. From there, the restaurant and bar on the property are awesome: food and drinks are excellent, and service is chill and inviting. If you stay there, they treat you like family, and if you don't, they are grateful you came to visit so treat you awesome anyway! Finally, the room was way more than I imagined. I knew it was an old house so buffered my expectations; they were blown away! Tall ceiling, beautiful bathroom, gorgeous view, and very comfy bed. Thank you Southernmost House!! read more

I loved the Southernmost Hotel and will definitely book here again if I every head back to Key West. We booked a king room. It was almost completely separate from everyone else - a big plus - and had a huge terrace. I think it was technically on the 3rd floor. The decor was light, bright and had a great island feel to it. The hotel's location is perfect. On Duval without being too close to the action but just a couple minutes walk to the beach. The staff, for the most part were helpful. Check in took forever though (more than 20 minutes), and I felt like the one employee was taking his sweet ass time just to spite me. The main pool was great and had a decent bar attached. No problems with parking with the added bonus that it was free (not a lot of Key West hotels do free parking). Someone (Terry H) mentioned that this hotel attracts a "freak show" clientele, describing them as "odd and disturbed". WTF??? Maybe it was a special event or something because in no way did the people there seem to be out of the norm. Weird. read more

Within a month or so the management team has changed and they're going through a lot of legal problems because of the old Management group caused a lot of havoc on their web sites and reservations. Needless to say our stay with there was fantastic it was pouring down rain but Karl open the bar for us to enjoy a drink pool side. We will definitely be going back and hopefully the new management team can take care of all the old problems that was left in their hands. Also for general knowledge that the opening up the bar is noe openef to the general public if you want to use their pool there will be a daily fee but that's totally new and will be announced shortly after the New Year's. Very excited for them and the new management team!!!! read more

Our room was beautiful and the view of the water was awesome. The house is huge and they have breakfast available in the morning. They also have a small beach and a nice pool. We paid for the room ahead of time (200 per night via hotels tonight app) and when we arrived I let the concierge know that we had already paid for parking overnight. He said it was fine and gave us a pass "in case," little did I know that he charged us an extra 21.50 for parking. I called to check on it and they said they would remove the charge because we did not use their pass. They refunded it within a few days so that was great! Besides the parking I had no issues and I would definitely stay here again. The bathroom was awesome and the room was spacious+ we had a balcony that wrapped around the house. read more

Don't miss this place! We haven't stayed yet (not for lack of trying) but we never miss stopping for a drink and a snack. The grounds are impeccable and welcoming.

The GM (Monroe) might as well be a mermaid. I've been trying to contact him since December. If you like these things stay here: 1. When leaving for dinner we asked the man at the front desk how we get back in the house. He told us the side gate would be locked, but the front gate and front door would be open. Then he mentioned he leaves at 11PM and as a security professional myself, I asked who watches the house at night with the gate and front door wide open. I received a blank stare and was told there isn't anyone and it's pretty safe around here. That was his way of re-assuring us, which made me very uncomfortable. How could there not be any type of security? Basically, anyone off the streets could walk in we learned. I'm hoping the gentleman at the front desk was misinformed because this doesn't provide guests with a sense of safety and doesn't seem like it would be in compliance with B&B standards. 2. After dinner we returned and attempted to settle in with the uneasy feeling of no one watching the property and the front door unlocked for whomever to do whatever. It wasn't long after that we were woken up by slamming doors until about 2AM. Then around 6AM we listened to someone vomit for about an hour followed by more door slamming. My fiancée can sleep through anything, but not the noise we experienced at the Sourthernmost house. We both couldn't wait to get back to her parents house to nap. It was really disappointing and frustrating given the purpose of a hotel is to provide sleeping accommodations and we weren't able to sleep in these conditions. 3. We asked for a late check-out in the morning in an attempt to get some sleep, which never happened because of the constant noise. A little after 11AM I returned to the room on the 3rd floor and I was locked out. After going all the way back downstairs I was given the master key to our room which also seemed very odd. I didn't try, but I hope the key wasn't able to open all other guests' rooms. read more

My wife and I are Keys locals and we decided to do a "stay-cation" for our anniversary last August. Key West can be humid this time of year so we decided to try the Southernmost House to catch the Atlantic breezes, and it turned out to be a great choice. The home has a storied history that includes millionaire wreckers, gangsters, bootleggers, writers and a couple of American Presidents. It's a beautiful property and with a steady breeze off the ocean it was relaxing sitting by the pool with a cold drink. There's a bar on the property and some great restaurants are a short walk away. But get five or six blocks in from the ocean and the breeze was blocked by the buildings and you'd feel the humidity. You definitely want the southern side of the island in the August. You find out a lot about a place when there's a bump in the road. There was a problem with our room the day before we were supposed to check in. They called to let us know and upgraded us to a larger room in the Lopez House (on the property). The staff was friendly and helpful and there's even Abbott the Rabbit who'll stroll over to say hi (especially if you bring him some Cheerios). We enjoyed it so much we've decided to make it a yearly event. I'd definitely recommend The Southernmost House if you're visiting Key West. read more

If you crave history, and classic architecture by the sea, and a unique resting place in the hustle and bustle of Key West, then this inn is the ticket. It's like a time-capsule hotel. The phonograph gifted to the original owners by Thomas Edison, who installed the electric *himself*, graces the front parlor where guests are checked in. The staff is warm and friendly with exceptional customer service skills. Tranquility can be found within its many nooks and crannies. Fans of modern interiors or minimalism might be better off elsewhere; yes there are some areas of peeling paint and wood needing replaced, but this historic gem sits only feet away from the salty sea and has surpassed its 120th year. If I make it to 120, I hope I look half that good! The pool is beautiful and inviting; our visit was in the heat of mid-August and there was plenty of afternoon shade to enjoy before and after a refreshing dip. A perfect waterfront setting to boot. The outdoor bar/lounge area is in an open-air pavilion adjacent to the pool area and surrounded by shaded patios that lead to the cafe 'truck' and waterfront tables. Dining is al-fresco; we found it to be very comfortable even in August. We started with coconut mojitos, and then enjoyed panini Caprese and thin crust pizza fresh from the brick oven. An easy-going iguana meandered about while a flock of gulls (I think?) also enjoyed drinks *from* the pool (they were well-behaved and visited only briefly). Meanwhile the owner's pet rabbit enchanted two little girls near the covered porch. You step off Duval Street and into another realm, how refreshing! Did I mention the inside of the hotel is 'adults only'? Much appreciated especially when you are there to enjoy a romantic getaway. My husband is ultra picky and he was beyond impressed with this hotel; I booked it as a surprise. We got a great rate on a premier oceanfront room, mid $200-range. Go in August for off-season deals. I only wish that the front balcony could also be accessed by room 202; maybe an idea for a future renovation? I believe the owner's name is Mike; he is top-shelf, as is his son who runs the cafe. This is a family-owned venture and they make improvements little by little; I am so glad they are restoring this beautiful house to its 19th-century glory. We would love to go back again. read more
