A Key West hotel has put together a package of attractions for Hemingway fans in the town where he wrote some of his best work.
Key West's charms include its such a deep literary history that dates back to the early 1900s. The community served as home to many well-known American writers, including Phil Caputo, Tom McGuane, Jim Harrison, John Hersey, Alison Lurie, Robert Stone, and, of course Hemingway.
The beloved author penned several novels while living at his Spanish-Colonial residence at 907 Whitehead Street (The Hemingway Home), now a national landmark and one of the island's most popular tourist attractions.
The Marker Key West Harbor Resort, located in the old part of Key West, is offering guests the opportunity to fully experience the destination's literary history with The Ernest Hemingway Package, which includes:
- One bottle of Papa's Pilar Rum and a tour of Papa's Pilar Distillery
- Tickets to The Hemingway Home for a tour of the grounds
- Guests also take a sunset sail or fishing charter, one of Hemingway's favorite pastimes. Charters include Captain Moe's Lucky Fleet and Time Flys Fishing.
- An in-room sun care kit from Key West Aloe, along with face masks and massage oil to recover from a day in the sun
For travelers who love to curl up with a good book, The Marker also offers guests a unique reading experience, aptly named the Literary Haven. Before arrival, guests can describe their "perfect reading environment," and the hotel's concierge team will re-create that atmosphere in their room with the following items and more:
- Aromatherapy diffusers
- Earplugs
- Pillows and blankets to make a cozy reading corner
- Even an in-suite comfort food dining menu
