Company information

The Speakeasy Inn is a quaint guesthouse located in an historic Key West conch style house. It is situated on upper Duval Street in Key West. This neighborhood is famous for the proliferation of art galleries, restaurants, quiet bars and laid back atmosphere. It is also very close to many Key West attractions including South Beach, The Butterfly Conservatory, the Southernmost Point, the Hemingway House Museum. Just down the street is the raucous party atmosphere of Lower Duval Street, the Key West Seaport, and of course Mallory Square and the world famous Sunset Celebration

Property information

This landmark offers an elegant and romantic retreat. The Speakeasy Inn was the home of Raul Vaquez, who was a cigar selector at the Gato cigar factory. Raul’s true passion was rum-running between Key West and Cuba. Its right on Duval Street where you can shop or walk two blocks to the beach or a short stroll to world-famous Sunset Celebrations in Mallory Square! This landmark’s recent renovation has preserved the original 19th century spirit of Old Town Key West. The decor in most of the airy suites is tropical and features hand-crafted queen beds and tables made from original 1876 Dade County pine. Amenities include flat screen TV, individually operated A/Cs, coffee makers, refrigerators, microwaves, toasters, wood floors, and all rooms have private baths with showers.
