Welcome to a sun-soaked paradise. Stay with us at The Gates, and discover the history and soul of Key West. Our local touches immerse you in the art of island living, through design, music and, of course, food and drink. Bring your furry friends along, because we're also pet friendly! But be warned, you might never want to leave. Located at the entry point of the island on North Roosevelt Boulevard, The Gates Hotel is a gateway to all things Key West, providing you with the full island experience at your fingertips. The island of Key West can be accessed by plane, boat and car. Arrive to Key West International Airport for the most convenience, or select the Miami International Airport or Ft. Lauderdale International Airport and take the picturesque drive south by way of the Overseas Highway (US1), crossing the entire chain of the Florida Keys (average drive between 3.5 to 4 hours). Alternatively you may arrive by Ferry from Ft. Myers with Key West Express. A complimentary shuttle service to Old Town is provided daily to our guests. Please note that unfortunately we are unable to accommodate parking for trailers or boats on property. Should you need to secure parking for either, please contact the hotel for a list of local facilities that can accommodate parking for you. Mixing contemporary design and retro Floridian flair, The Gates Hotel features guestrooms with modern amenities that uniquely combine upscale sophistication and polished service with the island's casual laidback vibe. Rum Row, the hotel's lively pool, bar, and lounge scene, welcomes guests to kick back in true Key West style with live music, handcrafted cocktails, and regionally inspired tapas. Patrons can channel the days of Prohibition with specialty spirits and the custom Gates Key West Hotel Rum from our exclusive partnership with First Legal Rum Distillery, or experience a taste of Cuban-Key West history at our very own cigar lounge featuring events and products from Rodriguez Cigars.
