Our lush tropical island has fascinating architecture, friendly people, a rich history, and plenty of activities to keep you engaged — or just come relax! Filled with a funky charm, Key West is a sophisticated place with amazing restaurants, diverse entertainment, eclectic art, professional theatre, and live music that includes salsa, show tunes, disco, country, opera, and classical. Our gay and lesbian guest houses are legendary, and our mainstream hotels and inns are always All Welcome. But the best part about our town is our open and accepting attitude.

There are really only three other places in the USA that offer such a plethora of gay-oriented accommodations — Provincetown, Ft. Lauderdale and Palm Springs. Key West stands out over these others in that it is warm and sunny year-round, most of the resorts are housed in charming vintage buildings in the historic Old Town district, and all are within an easy walk of fine restaurants and fun bars. Gay artists, designers, actors, authors, architects, doctors, lawyers, bartenders, waiters and folks from every other profession flock to this intimate island paradise.
These are the best gay resorts in Key West including male-only clothing-optional resorts, hotels, guesthouses, and adult-only mixed hotels. Today, this remarkable small island in south Florida has become an incredible gay mecca — one of the most famous, in fact, across the whole US! We've visited Key West on several occasions and always had a blast, especially when hitting the gay bars of Duval Street. There is an impressive number of different gay resorts in Key West to pick from, so we've put together our favorites, which also include gay hotels and guesthouses.
