Hilton has opened its first Hilton Hotels & Resorts property in Key West, adding a new waterfront resort to its growing Florida Keys portfolio. The company confirmed the debut of Hilton Key West Resort & Marina on Stock Island, at the eastern edge of Key West. The opening brings Hilton’s Florida Keys portfolio to 12 properties.

Set across 20 waterfront acres, the resort features 175 guest rooms, including 86 suites. Each room comes with a private furnished balcony, with views overlooking the marina and the Atlantic Ocean.

The property is designed around a marina-front setting, giving guests direct access to the boating, fishing and outdoor experiences that help define the Florida Keys. It also puts visitors within easy reach of Key West attractions, with complimentary shuttle service to Old Town, Duval Street, Mallory Square and the Key West Historic Seaport.

Food and drink are woven into the resort experience, from oceanfront dining to casual daytime options. Yellowfin Bar & Kitchen serves oceanfront dishes inspired by the flavours of the Keys, while Ocean’s Edge Café offers Cuban coffee, smoothies, and grab-and-go options. Guests can also order poolside service or in-room dining.

Amenities include six saltwater pools, a fitness centre, and a range of recreational activities. Hilton says guests can enjoy complimentary paddleboarding, kayaking, bicycling, yoga classes, lawn games and poolside movie nights.

For meetings and events, Hilton Key West Resort & Marina offers both indoor and outdoor spaces, including a 570-square-foot boardroom and a 1,140-square-foot outdoor patio. A new Tiki Event Pavilion is also being added as part of ongoing property enhancements.

Hilton says the resort is undergoing updates to guest rooms, furnishings, décor and amenities, while keeping the relaxed island feel of the Florida Keys.

In a destination known for oceanfront escapes, Hilton Key West Resort & Marina gives Hilton a stronger resort presence through its waterfront setting and marina access.
