The Marker Waterfront Resort to Open in Key West

The resort marks the first new hotel build in Old Town Key West since 1994

 The Marker Waterfront Resort-an independent, 96-room luxury hotel-arrives in Key West this October.

The resort marks the first new hotel build in Old Town Key West since 1994. Inspired by the free spirit and colorful nature of the Key West community, the resort pays reverence to the region’s history while embracing a modern and timeless design.

                            



“The Marker tells the story of a modern day Key West with understated hints to ‘Old Florida Luxury,'” says Ann Johnson of the locally based Singh Company, who spearheaded the property’s interior design. “The vision for the Marker was to create an authentic experience and strong sense of place that celebrates the Key West community and the hotel’s historic waterfront location.”



Inspired by the island, Johnson wove in subtle tropical finishes throughout, including hard woods, caning, locally produced textiles, and some tongue-in-cheek references to an old sea captain’s home.

An oversized staircase leads guests into the lobby, which boasts vivid artwork and luxurious patterns set against a palette of gray, gold, chartreuse, and cream tones.  Towering glass windows, paneled walls, and lush greenery bring the outside in.  

                          

Each of the guestrooms reinterprets a classic Key West design with white furnishings, touches of dark woods, and luxe cream draperies juxtaposed with modern elements. Muted, ceramic tile entryways exude a residential feel and pair with wave and surf inspired carpeting.  Splashes of azure and turquoise hues accent the space, while a modern cat sculpture pays homage to Key West’s fabled “Hemingway Days.”



                                           

In the bathrooms, stark white subway tile lines the walls alongside a modern soaking tub and shower. Each guestroom also boasts private porches.

In addition to the Marker’s 96 guestrooms, the property includes an eclectic dining concept, multiple swimming pools, and poolside cocktail service. Named in honor of the mile markers that lead to the southernmost point of the United States, the Marker is set on two acres of waterfront land and is built in the style of classic conch architecture.


                            

In an effort to maintain the deeply rooted identity and character of the island community, the resort has partnered with sculptor and Key West resident, John Martini, to create three eco-inspired industrial design pieces for the outdoor public spaces. The pieces will represent three local inhabitants: the marsh rabbit, the key deer, and exotic birds. The Marker has also partnered with local artist Adam Russell of Key West Pottery, who created five sculptures adorned with pelicans.
