Where should we stay?


The Key West Hotel is a proud sponsor and the official hotel partner of Q West 2! This beautiful hotel is just steps from the Key West Theater and features the Bali Bar, home to the official pre-festival meet up Thursday evening and fond farewell on Sunday. Rooms are limited, click below to make your reservation!




If the Key West Hotel is sold out or you're looking for other options, check out a list of other recommendations below! Key West has loads of options for all price ranges - best part is there is no wrong way to stay...you made it there, thats the best part!

Key West has lots of options, from opulent resorts to cozy Bed & Breakfasts. The island is small enough that you'll always be miniutes away from all the fun of Q West wherever you choose to stay!

Some of many options:


  • Away from Old Town: Check out Havana Cabana Key West. It's in the New Town part of the island but still a quick drive in with great resort amenties and lower rates.
  • Big Brand Near the Airport / Beach: Check out DoubleTree Resport Grand Key. This resort has all the amenities you'd expect and from an international brand you know! This resort is close to the KW airport and Smathers Beach. Expect approximately 10 minutes to Old Town shows and activities.
  • Luxe in Old Town: Check out the Hyatt Centric Key West Resort. Here you'd be in the thick of it all at this 4 star ocean front resort.
  • Luxe B&B Style in Old Town: The Key West Historic Inn Collection are everything you'd expect from a luxury hotel in a boutique, B&B style package. These hotels are often in historic buildings and are all in great locations! The true Key West experience!
