La Concha Key West

The La Concha Hotel celebrates 100 years of elegance in the Conch Republic 

Few hotels embody the spirit of Key West like La Concha, which celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2026. Opened in January 1926 and located directly on Duval Street, this “Grand Dame” quickly became one of the island’s most luxurious destinations, attracting famous names such as Ernest Hemingway; Tennessee Williams, who completed A Streetcar Named Desire during a stay; and President Harry S. Truman.  

Following an extensive 2025 renovation, the hotel blends its historic character with modern comforts and a vibrant Mid-Century aesthetic. Guests can cool off at the chic Pool Club, indulge in a complimentary mojito tasting at Tropicado, or savor Cuban fusion cuisine at Perla.  

Wellness-minded travelers will enjoy La Concha’s optional Pure Wellness guest rooms that feature purified air, hypoallergenic surfaces and allergy-friendly bedding. Select rooms also offer hearing-accessible features with visual alarms and notification devices. Visit laconchakeywest.com to reserve.
