"The Crowne Plaza is a National Historic Landmark dating to 1926, but today this mid-range chain is well past its prime, and lacks the charm of other historic hotels, like The Weatherstation Inn." Full review
Star Service "The chain may not be well-known for its resorts, but this property provides a dependable base for both leisure and business travelers." Full review
Frommer's "Now part of the Crowne Plaza brand, the La Concha has managed to keep up with the times fairly nicely while both preserving key elements of its historic flair." Full review

"The tallest building in Key West at six stories high and one of the most iconic, La Concha Hotel & Spa is located in the centre of Duval Street amidst all the hubbub." Full review
Fodor's "Historic properties always have their quirks, and La Concha is no exception, but...this property also provides guests with a sought-after location, and plenty of fun and indulgent amenities." Full review
