Escape Winter on Key West at the Casa Marina Resort for $269/Night
Offering guests the chance to leave the winter weather behind and escape to the sun-kissed shores of the Atlantic Ocean, Casa Marina Resort and its sister property, The Reach Resort, invite travelers to trade snow shoes for no shoes with the “Winter Escape” package starting at $269/per night for travel now through March 31, 2010.
Offering shared amenities, Casa Marina and The Reach (come back here to the "most romantic escape on the island" without the kids sometime) are situated at the southernmost point of the continental United States on the island of Key West, Florida. The legendary Casa Marina was built as a reflection of Henry Flagler’s love affair with Florida and has been a renowned landmark since New Year’s Eve 1920, echoing whispers of by-gone eras, underwater adventures, world-class fishing and breathtaking Southern sunsets. After a recent $43 million facelift, Casa Marina has been restored to its original splendor, with floor-to-ceiling arched windows, original Florida pine floors and a magnificent “Water Walk” that leads guests directly to the largest private beach on Key West.
The sister properties offer many ways to explore the vast historical landmarks and the sparkling waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Parasailing and wave runner tours with the legendary Barefoot Billy -- the beach's watersports concierge -- are located just steps away from guest rooms. Families can enjoy two oceanfront pools with poolside cabanas, dolphin encounter excursions, snorkeling and fishing trips. Just off the main lobby of Casa Marina is Rambler’s Lounge, the only absinthe bar in Key West, built to reflect Ernest Hemingway’s time spent at the property.
Exploring Key West isn’t complete without visiting Hemingway House, home of the legendary Ernest Hemingway (and his six-toed cats); Mel Fisher’s Maritime Museum, filled with pirate treasure and ocean lore; and the newest attraction, the USS Vandenberg, one of the largest wreck dives in the world, sunk seven miles off the coast of Key West.
From the majestic uninterrupted views of the Atlantic to sumptuous steaks at famed Manhattan steakhouse, Strip House, and waterside spa treatments at Spa al Mare, Casa Marina and The Reach have recently been awarded the AAA Four Diamond rating and are also exciting additions to The Waldorf Astoria Collection, offering unparalleled benefits of the Hilton Family Brands, including the Hilton HHonors guest loyalty program.
The “Winter Escape” package includes luxury accommodations, breakfast for two daily, a $50 Resort Credit (for every two nights booked up to $200) and a complimentary free night voucher if booked before 1/31/2010.
