Key West’s Southernmost Hotel Collection: A Destination Within a Destination.
Celebrating 25 years! Win a trip to Southernmost On The Beach Hotel in Key West, Florida! See website for details.
The charming, laid back town of Key West has always been the go-to destination for the fun-loving party set, art and culture aficionados, and for anyone who just wants a sabbatical from the daily grind. With its azure colored waters, protected coral reefs, and swaying palm trees, it’s easy to see why Key West is heralded as “America’s Caribbean island.” It is, after all, at the southernmost tip of the United States.
Location. Location. Location.
And right at the tip, in the heart of historic Old Town, is where you’ll find the four distinct hotels that make up the Southernmost Hotel Collection: the luxurious Southernmost on the Beach, the popular Southernmost Hotel in the USA, and two oceanfront turn-of-the-century inns, La Mer Hotel & Dewey House.
“When you stay with us,” says Matthew Babich, General Manager of the Southernmost Hotel Collection, “you’re within walking or biking distance to everything Key West offers. It’s serene and beautiful without the excitement and madness of the other parts of town.” Yet, if you want that, it’s a short walk away. “In fact, you can park your car and forget about it because you won’t need it,” he says.
“We’re at the upper end of Duval Street where it meets the Atlantic Ocean,” says Carrie Babich, Director of Sales and Marketing at Southernmost Hotel Collection. “It’s quieter. And it’s where you’ll find shopping, art galleries, restaurants, and museums. And then, we’ve got our gorgeous white sandy beach.”
Experience the Southernmost of Everything
With 269 guest rooms in total, Southernmost Hotel Collection has something for everyone’s budget and taste. “No one provides the experience and value we do,” says Carrie. “We offer a unique Key West island experience.”
That experience includes the all-new Southernmost on the Beach, which is where oceanfront elegance meets Key West charm. Earlier this year, the hotel underwent a major transformation, adding 80 luxurious new rooms that combine the tranquility and charm of tropical island life with a nod to the glamour of ocean liners past. “We now have 90 rooms where you can walk out of your room and be on the beach or in the ocean, which wasn’t the case before,” says Matthew.
Southernmost on the Beach also has a private pier, a new oceanfront pool and Shores Bar, a state-of-the-art fitness center, spa services, and activities like yoga on the beach, croquet on the West Lawn, volleyball, and power walks. But they’re not exclusive to Southernmost on the Beach guests.
Whether you stay in one of the 11 elegant rooms at the Victorian style La Mer Hotel, one of Dewey House’s eight charming rooms, or in one of the 127 neatly appointed rooms at Southernmost Hotel in the USA, you can take advantage of the concierge services and resort activities. “Wi-fi, parking, beach chairs, the fitness center – we provide all that for free,” says Carrie adding, “You can save up to $60 a day by staying with us.”
Guests of the Southernmost Hotel Collection also have access to Southernmost Beach Café. This casual open-air restaurant is right on South Beach overlooking the Atlantic and serves breakfast, lunch, dinner, and happy hour daily. “It’s convenient because it’s right next door and it offers fine cuisine at affordable prices overlooking the ocean,” says Matthew. The Café will even deliver food and beverages to your ocean side hammock or to your lounge chair at the oceanfront pool.
They also have the perfect outdoor venues for a wedding, reception, or corporate event – whether you’re inviting 40 or 150. “We can plan and cater events on the beach, our small meeting room, poolside, or really anywhere on our property,” says Matthew. “And we can easily accommodate all the guests in any price range.”
Happy 25th Anniversary
In 2010, the Southernmost Hotel Collection will celebrate its 25th anniversary and as Matthew says, “We’ve come a long way, baby!” Carrie echoes his sentiment, saying, “It’s amazing how fast the time goes and how much growth we’ve experienced here.”
That longevity and success is due to their long-term, fiercely loyal employees, the high percentage of repeat clientele, and referrals. “We put a lot of emphasis on feedback from our guests. In fact, our capital improvement plans and our vision for the future – it’s based on our guest’s input. It’s not about what we want, it’s about what our guests want or desire.”
“We’re a world renowned travel destination,” says Matthew. “Key West is history. It’s tradition. It’s coral reefs. It’s the colorful locals. It’s authentic.” It truly is a one-of-a-kind destination and Southernmost Hotel Collection is a destination-within-that-destination. “We’re not spread out around the world like a chain hotel. This is us; this is what we’ve got and we do everything we can possibly do to take care of our guests,” Matthew adds. Well said.
