Historic, 100-room Ocean Key Resort and Spa in southern Florida stands a stone's throw from the legendary street filled with clubs, bars, restaurants and art galleries. 

First impressions are positive. A spacious open lobby is a welcoming sight with bright green sofas, leather armchairs and an abundance of plants combining flair and elegance to the overall atmosphere. Even the reception desk reflects a spirited ambience, with a candy-striped backdrop to it.
