Key West’s Blue Flamingo Resort to Debut This July — And It’s a Whole Vibe


KEY WEST, Fla. — If your idea of vacation includes palm trees, tiki drinks, and poolside vibes that just don’t quit, say hello to your next tropical escape: the Blue Flamingo Resort, officially opening July 2025 in sunny Key West.

Perched at 3820 N. Roosevelt Blvd., this new 245-room resort is a bold reimagining of two existing hotels — The Gates and 24 North — now transformed into one vibrant island getaway. And let’s just say: it’s not your average beachside stay.

Inside the resort’s eye-catching lobby, guests are greeted by statement lighting, eclectic tropical decor, and a design-forward space brought to life by Virserius Studio — the creative minds behind luxe interiors from New York to Paris. Rooms range from cozy queen-bed hideaways to breezy one-bedroom suites with ocean views and up to 575 square feet of space to spread out.

But where the Blue Flamingo really spreads its wings is outside.

The Backyard Pool & Social Club is the resort’s sun-drenched playground. Think: dual pools with cabanas, fire pits, lawn games, evening yoga, and yes — a costume jubilee party. Foodies will feel right at home, too. Grab a strong cocktail at Rum Row, indulge in breezy bites at Toasted Coconut, or try something unexpected from the on-site food truck.

Guests can also unwind with live poolside music, happy hour specials, bottomless brunch drinks on Sundays, and a retail shop filled with local souvenirs — including hand-rolled Rodriguez cigars.

Planning a party? The Backyard hosts up to 200 guests, with flexible indoor meeting space for more intimate events.

Whether you're road-tripping down the Overseas Highway or flying into paradise, the Blue Flamingo promises the kind of laid-back luxury Key West is famous for — with a splash of fun around every corner.

So go ahead—pack your flip-flops, grab your sunglasses, and let your inner flamingo strut. Key West is calling, and your poolside cabana is waiting.
