"Refurbished from 1884 conch houses, the Marquesa Hotel is a compound of four buildings surrounding lovely interior gardens and two pools." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Two of the houses are restored Victorian homes filled with antiques, and the other two are opulent, with four-poster beds and floral spreads."
Star Service "This is a fine boutique-hotel with a long list of repeat clients that would never stay anywhere but here." Full review
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."

"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
Travel + Leisure "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
