Below is what the Florida Keys website has to say on touring our historic inns, which will be decorated in their holiday finest!
Frost-free Key West might be the southernmost island in the continental United States, but many of its bed-and-breakfast inns sport holiday decorations worthy of Santa's northernmost workshop. Visitors can tour the most festive and discover Key West's 19th-century architecture and warmhearted seasonal spirit in lighted inn tours set for 6-9 p.m. Friday, Dec. 9, and Saturday, Dec. 17.
Presented by the Key West Innkeepers Association, the 2011 tours feature unique island inns with indoor and outdoor spaces decked out for the holidays. At each featured stop, innkeepers will be on hand to share information about the property and its history.
Other attractions include mouthwatering cuisine prepared by top Key West restaurants, vintages from Opici Wine Co. and other holiday refreshments.
