Wyndam Key West
Grandeur and Luxury in Tropical Florida
The Wyndam Key West Casa Marina Resort is a historical hotel, originally built in the 1920s. Recently renovated to match the needs and desires of today's visitor this is one of the more desirable hotels in Key West.
It serves as home base for many business and pleasure travellers who want to experience the rich history of Key West through trips to nearby historical sites while also keeping a finger on the pulse on our southern-most city.
Location and Setting
The Casa Marina is a regal building with beautifully landscaped gardens located at 1500 Reynolds Street, right on the beach. In fact, the hotel sits along the largest private beach in Key West. This makes it an excellent location for those coming to Key West to partake in some exciting water sports. The Casa Marina is also not far from Duval Street, the cultural center of Key West, and many local attractions and historical sites.
Dining Options
The Casa Marina offers three top quality dining experiences. The Strip House is an elegant and sophisticated New York style restaurant located at the Casa Marina’s sister resort, the Reach Resort, located in Old Town Key West. If you’re feeling particularly decadent you can follow your meal here with a slice of the famous 24-layer chocolate cake. The Strip House is divided into in-house and poolside dining and the menu of course, includes a wide and exotic variety of cocktails.
At the Wyndam Key West itself you’ll find the Lobby Bar and the Sun-Sun Beach Bar and Grill. The Sun-Sun provides an open air dining experience where you can relax and enjoy a meal while taking in the view of the beach. The Lobby bar offers Spanish style snacks and appetizers, as well as exotic drinks, including Absinthe concoctions which will get you warmed up for a night of partying on Duval Street.
