The Marker Key West Harbor Resort is proud to unveil a $3 million renovation of the modern, waterfront property, including its new Residence One & Two Bedroom Suites with spacious open-air balconies, located in the intimate and private residence, Harbor House, a secluded tropical escape of suites located on the ground floor and second floor, tucked away inside the Old Town resort along the sparkling Key West Harbor. The property has enforced a multi-pronged approach to health and wellbeing, providing guests with peace of mind while traveling to Key West, with intensive AHLA Safe Stay program cleaning standards.

The newly-updated spaces revive The Marker's profound legacy of combining Key West's rich history and tradition with charming character, modern amenities, and sophisticated eclecticism.

The Marker Key West Harbor Resort immerses guests in a tranquil hideaway hidden among the Florida Keys' world-famous attractions. The resort is a hidden sanctuary of lush tropical grounds with plenty of space for social distancing, including three saltwater pools, an open-air outdoor restaurant, and bar for al fresco dining with ocean breezes.

The renovated suites create more options for travelers seeking luxuriously appointed living spaces and bedrooms, in addition to the 4-star experience that The Marker is known for.

Immediately upon entering the expansive 1,000 - 1,400 square-foot suites, guests are met with eye-catching, contemporary artwork offset by warm oak floors, sumptuous linens, and rattan furniture that evokes the feeling of a tropical beach resort. All guestrooms at The Marker are adorned large with scenic balconies for guests to watch the sunset, soak in the social scene at the pool, or gaze at the boats in the Key West Harbor from the comfort of their guestroom. Each suite features a mid-century modern wet bar, with a selection of Key West beers and spirits for purchase, including Papa's Pilar Rum, which is distilled within walking distance of the property.
