Key West International Airport sits just over a mile from Old Town, which means the hotels closest to the runway trade convenience for noise — and that trade-off is worth understanding before you book. If you're catching a 6am flight out of EYW, a hotel within a 10-minute walk of the terminal saves you a $25 taxi ride and the stress of pre-dawn Uber hunting. Check live rates for hotels near Key West International Airport to see which properties have dropped prices for your dates.
Closest to the terminal — and it's not even close
Hyatt Vacation Club at Windward Pointe, Key West sits just 0.4 km from the terminal — a four-minute walk that no other hotel here can match. The trade-off is that you're paying 3-star rates for a location that feels more like a resort compound than a walkable neighborhood, with the airport runway noise audible from the pool deck.
Best for a reliable, no-surprise stay
Hampton Inn Key West FL is 0.6 km away (a six-minute walk) and carries the brand's consistent breakfast and free Wi-Fi. The one recent guest review flagged rooms that "need to be updated" and gave location a 3.0/10 — meaning you're close to the airport but far from anything else, so plan on taxis for food or bars.
Other options worth a look
Sunrise Suites - Tahiti Suite 104 — an eight-minute walk, but the 3-star rating suggests it's the best of the Sunrise Suites cluster for comfort.
Sunrise Suites by TO — the 1-star rating makes it a budget-only play; you're paying for the walkability, not the room.
Sunrise Suites Grenada Suite #209 — same eight-minute walk, but no star rating means the quality is a gamble.
Sunrise Suites Cayo Coco Suite #208 — nine minutes from the terminal, and the unit-specific naming suggests you're booking an individual condo, not a hotel room.
Pool View Pvt Balcony Samana Cay Suite — nine minutes on foot, but the "pool view" balcony is your best bet for a pleasant post-flight wind-down.
St Martin Suite Beautifully Updated Pool View — the "beautifully updated" claim is unverified, but the pool view is a real perk at this distance.
Airport-specific fine print
EYW has no hotel shuttle — every property here expects you to walk or call a taxi. The terminal opens at 4:30am, so a 6am departure means you can walk over at 5:15am and still clear security comfortably. One thing travellers miss: the airport's single runway means all arrivals and departures fly directly over the hotels on this list, so pack earplugs if you're a light sleeper.
