Perfecting Paradise
A new lobby, bar & lounge with a harbor view like no other.
We are excited to share images of our new harbor view lobby, bar and lounge at Ocean Key Resort & Spa, debuting in February 2026.
This February, Ocean Key Resort unveils a whole new experience—an electric fusion of color, style, and island sophistication. Guests will discover reimagined luxury accommodations infused with vibrant tropical elegance, a boutique spa designed for indulgence and renewal, and an oceanfront pool and lounge that invites sun-soaked relaxation from dawn to dusk. Our refreshed fine-dining restaurant celebrates coastal flavors with elevated flair, while our seductive new lobby and marina-view lounge will the stage for unforgettable arrivals and glamorous evenings. Ocean Key Resort is stepping boldly into its next chapter—and you’re invited to feel every exhilarating moment.
A Stunning New Lobby
Ocean Key Resort has long been recognized as the locale where the soul of Key West meets the spirit of elevated island luxury. Our reimagined lobby is more than just an arrival point; it’s a destination unto itself. Designed to enchant, welcome, and linger, every detail draws on the resort’s legacy while unveiling a bold new chapter infused with chic island style.
Inspired by our vibrant past and the evolution of our suites and signature Hot Tin Roof restaurant, the lobby design continues the narrative in a space where whimsy meets refinement. Anchoring the center of the space is a sculptural fountain, a graceful centerpiece that brings movement, serenity and a sense of timeless grandeur.
Step into a celebration of color, character and the unmistakable joie de vivre of Key West, perfectly balanced with the sophistication expected from the most luxurious resort on the island.
Custom wallcoverings featuring lush tropical flora and birds bring the outdoors in, echoing the playful charm of our guestroom details, like our hand-painted toucan armoires. Arches wrapped in mosaic pink tile frame each space with a sense of artistry and intention. From birdcage-inspired lounge chairs to richly textured fabrics and shimmering glass pendants, the design layers pattern and color with joyful exuberance. It is almost too much, and yet just right.
Sweet Bird Bar, Where Paradise Perches
Nestled just off Ocean Key Resorts lobby and overlooking the Key West harbor, Sweet Bird Bar offers more than cocktails and sea views, it invites a moment of escape. Here, tropical elegance meets soulful nostalgia. With light dancing through floor-to-ceiling windows, and vivid bird motifs gracing the interiors, this is your place to roost, reflect, and rise again.
Inspired by the dreamlike beauty of the tropics and the fleeting, fragile nature of longing in Tennessee Williams’ Sweet Bird of Youth, this new harbor-view lounge channels poetic energy through lush surroundings, suspended time, and a touch of theatrical glamour.
In Williams’ play, the Sweet Bird of Youth represents longing, beauty, and the ache of change. Ocean Key Resort’s Sweet Bird Bar reimagines that metaphor in full color—through the lens of island life, with a view that inspires.
White Ibis Meeting Room
Ocean Key Resort’s brand-new meeting space takes inspiration from the graceful bird, long celebrated in literature as a symbol of wisdom and renewal. Surrounded by Key West’s rich cultural and natural beauty, this elegant setting accommodates up to 14 guests and is designed to spark creativity, collaboration, and fresh ideas. Overlooking Old Town Key West this is the ideal venue for executive retreats, strategy sessions, and team gatherings that deserve more than just another boardroom.
