Posted on February 4, 2012 by Christina

 

We are very excited to announce the addition of the Cypress House to our collection of boutique hotels in Key West! This former estate property includes two Classic Bahamian Conch Style houses and one Grand Conch Mansion, dating from 1888 and 1895, that stand on a quarter acre of lush, tropical gardens. A continental breakfast and nightly wine & lemonade hour are included with your room.

Kristy Wilson, on the left, is our manager and Denice Suriner is one of our front desk associates. They have been working hard reorganizing the reception area and putting some new chairs around the heated lap pool today!

Food & Wine Festival Starts Thursday!

Posted on January 24, 2012 by Christina

During this year’s festival we are going to feature one of our favorite wines from the Veneto region of Italy, Bolla Pinot Grigio, at our Lighthouse Court Cafe & Mojito Bar. This light and refreshing wine has a delicate bouquet with aromas of peach, melon, pear and lime, making it an excellent choice for sipping by the pool on a balmy Key West day. Scott will have several tempting appetizers available as well to pair with it and our other cocktails.

DAILY: Enjoy poolside Happy Hours at our Cafe & Mojito Bar from 12PM – 6PM. Peter will be happy to make you a ‘Blue Long Island Iced Tea’, a ‘Key Lime Mojito’ our new favorite, or your favorite libation! Come try our delicious drinks or just relax the day away under the sunshine at the pool with your family & friends. You can find a list of festival events and available tickets here.

The Lighthouse Court Cafe & Mojito Bar is located at 902 Whitehead Street, across from the Hemingway House.

Posted on December 15, 2011 by Christina

Here is the second video for our “Operation Comfy Holiday” campaign, done in conjunction with Adopt A Platoon.
Thank you to everyone for helping to make this a success; we are very happy to have such support to be able
to send out lots of great things like warm socks, frisbees, tampons, bath wipes, batteries, books, movies, deodorant, a blanket, cheeze-its, microfiber towels, foot powder, chicken & tuna packs, pens, body creme and many other supplies to our platoon. They are in a remote area without running water or reliable electricity, so these things will come in handy!

MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!

Gingerbread House Build-A-Thon

Posted on December 13, 2011 by Christina

This year we are excited to be sponsoring the Gingerbread House Building Party being held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. this Saturday, Dec. 17, at The Oldest House, located at 322 Duval Street. We are rooting for a few historical or tropical versions with edible palm trees, architectural eyebrow arches, snow & picket fences!

Those who have entered this contest before recommend bringing your own special supplies to augment the basics provided to all entrants, including shredded wheat (perfect for thatch roofs); shredded coconut (great-looking fake snow); Necco wafers (perfect for roof tiles and they come in various colors). Marshmallows and ice cream cones are also often used in the construction of snow women & men that surround some gingerbread house designs.

All the houses built during the event will go home with their builders to be shared among family, friends and neighbors.
