Key West - The Gardens Hotel

 

They also have parakeets that will give you the eye in the garden!

One of the places we like to go from time to time is The Gardens Hotel. As the name implies, there are gardens to walk through by the hotel but they are noted for jazz on Sunday afternoons. It’s usually very crowded so you have to arrive early to get a seat.

There’s no cover charge but they have a great wine bar. The wine is electronic. You buy a card and use it to push one of three buttons on a selection of dozens of bottles of wine. You can purchase a taste, a half glass, or a full glass - your card is debited with each choice. 

On other days, starting at five, they have a grand piano that’s played by local musicians. It’s nice to sit by the piano with wine in hand and listen to fine music in the afternoon. Our faviorite pianoist was Jimmy Olsen, just like the person in the Superman comics. He plays broadway musicials, great fun.
