"With few facilities and a renovation not far behind it, Santa Maria is looking as pretty and inviting as ever." Full review
Rough Guide
"Thirty-five grandiose, pampered suites with state-of-the-art kitchens... in-room laundry, nightly turn-down service, and stylish rooms turned out in linen, rattan and marble."

Rough Guide
"A grand guesthouse built in 1884 with a formal clientele and lush green surroundings including its own onsite waterfall and swimming pools."
Gayot
"This property was once a collection of conch houses from 1884. Although it has been upgraded, it still has a classic seaside look. It is one block from Duval Street, the center of Key West action."

8.0
"A boutique hotel located in the heart of Key West’s charming Old Town district, Marquesa is amongst the most sophisticated options on the island." Full review

"1884 clapboard houses set back from busy Duval Street. A no-cell-phones-in-public-spaces policy helps to keep the peace." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler
"There are a total of 44 rooms between them (called Marquesa Hotel collectively) and three pools. You feel like you're in Key West and only Key West here. True sense of place, zero kitsch." Full review
