From the reviews
Our stay at The Gardens Hotel in Key West over Memorial Day weekend was absolutely incredible from start to finish. From the moment we arrived and were greeted with sparkling wine, we knew we were somewhere special. Judith at reception was beyond friendly and welcoming.
*************UPDATE BELOW FIRST COMMENTS***************** Dear Kate, I live in Key West but decided to treat my wife to two nights at The Gardens for a very special time... The stay was all I anticipated from the resort and master suite EXCEPT FOR ONE DETAIL. The master suite was worth the $1200 a night we spent.
5 stars all the way! We visited Key West for the first time and had such an amazing stay at The Gardens Hotel. My husband accidentally booked a room that wasn’t dog friendly, but the receptionist was incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful.
The Gardens was magical! Spent our 25th anniversary here and it could not have been more perfect. From the people (guests and staff), to the setting and rooms…..AWESOME!!! “Dr. Phil was the social bar host with the most.
Getting married at The Gardens Hotel
The Gardens Hotel comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
