KEY WEST, FL. (Oct. 6, 2026) – Ocean Key Resort & Spa, located at the very edge of Duval Street where the ocean meets the sky, announces the December 2025 debut of its newly redesigned lobby, bar, and lounge. This highly anticipated project introduces a fresh sense of place that reflects the resort's reputation as one of Key West's most vibrant and luxurious retreats, blending the spirited charm of the island with the sophistication of an award-winning property recognized among the best in the U.S. and Caribbean. 

This highly anticipated redesign introduces a fresh sense of place that combines Key West's eclectic character with refined sophistication. Alongside newly updated guestrooms, suites, and the Hot Tin Roof waterfront restaurant, Ocean Key Resort now offers an atmosphere unlike any other in the Florida Keys. 

Noble House Hotels & Resorts, known for capturing the unique spirit of their destinations, challenged designers to create a true “destination within a destination” at Ocean Key's entry point. The result is a bold yet inviting space infused with tropical elegance, vibrant patterns, and whimsical details that reflect the colorful character of Key West.

Guests are welcomed into the all-new lobby, a lively introduction to the island, where they can enjoy handcrafted cocktails at the new Sweet Bird lobby bar and harbor-view verandah. The redesign also adds the versatile White Ibis Boardroom for seamless meetings and the iconic Sunset Pier for life's most memorable celebrations, both offering unmatched waterfront settings.

Anchored by a sculptural, artisan-crafted fountain, the lobby greets guests with the soft sound of cascading water, a calming counterpoint to the energy of arrival. Custom wallcoverings bloom with lush tropical flora and exotic birds, echoing playful touches found throughout the guestrooms. Arched mosaic-pink tiles frame the space, while birdcage-inspired lounge chairs, richly textured fabrics, and shimmering glass pendants layer artistry, pattern, and color into a cohesive, joyful design.

The lobby flows seamlessly into the new Marina View Lounge, where panoramic harbor vistas and ocean breezes set the stage for indoor-outdoor relaxation. Here, guests can enjoy hand-crafted cocktails in a setting designed for both connection and quiet retreat.

Further enhancing the guest experience, the renovation introduces an elegant Executive Meeting Room with sweeping views of Old Town Key West. Designed to accommodate up to 14 guests, the space merges island ease with modern amenities, perfect for executive retreats, strategy sessions, and intimate gatherings. 

Additional resort highlights include the LIQUID pool and bar, where turquoise waters and tropical cocktails set the mood; SpaTerre, the resort's sanctuary for relaxation and renewal; and Hot Tin Roof, a celebrated waterfront restaurant serving island-inspired cuisine with panoramic ocean views.

“Ocean Key has always been about more than just a place to stay, it's about creating unforgettable moments from the very first step inside,” says Bill Foster, Marketing Director for Ocean Key Resort & Spa. “This new lobby captures the magic of Key West in a way that is both artful and welcoming, setting the stage for every guest's island escape.” 

Vibrant, colorful, and unforgettable, Ocean Key Resort & Spa continues to define itself as Key West's top luxury destination, where every moment is infused with the magic of one of the world's most unique travel settings.
