Island City House

History of our Bed and Breakfast, Key West, Florida Originally, built as a private home for a wealthy Charleston merchant family in 1880, this grand three-story Victorian mansion was then converted into the Island City House Hotel by its owners, in anticipation of the railroad’s arrival in 1912. After a faithful restoration, this house offers 12 parlor suites, each individually furnished with Victorian antiques, lace curtains and hardwood floors.
