The newest arrival in the Florida Keys is Havana Cabana Key West Hotel — a 106-room, beachside retreat infused with Cuban character. Situated near Old Town, the hotel blends tropical décor, vintage touches and a relaxed island atmosphere that pays homage to the life and times of Ernest Hemingway. Guests can enjoy poolside mojito gatherings featuring a rotating selection of recipes, classic Chevy arrival experiences, Cuban-inspired dining, and authentic dishes served from the hotel’s Floridita Food Truck.

From the moment guests arrive in a restored 1957 Chevrolet, the experience emphasizes cultural immersion. Inside, Spanish guitar music and the aroma of fresh Cuban pastries set an inviting tone. The hotel partners with Key West Tours to offer same-day, round-trip excursions to Havana, Cuba, giving visitors the opportunity for a guided walking tour of Old Havana and lunch in a historic fishing village once frequented by Hemingway.
On property, amenities are designed for leisurely island living: the resort offers one of Key West’s largest swimming pools, vintage Vespa rentals, bicycles for exploring the neighborhood, and regular social events that celebrate Cuban flavors and traditions. Whether seeking relaxation by the pool, a culinary taste of Cuba, or a nostalgic drive through town in a classic car, Havana Cabana Key West presents a vibrant, authentic-feeling escape on the island.
