the perry hotel
key west, fl
the perry hotel: The Perry Hotel & Marina sits on Stock Island, a quieter, more working-waterfront alternative to the Duval Street bustle, a few miles from Old Town Key West. The 24-hour fitness center covers standard training needs, and two waterfront pools give plenty of room to unwind between sessions — no full spa here, so recovery centers on the water rather than a treatment menu. Matt's Stock Island Kitchen & Bar and Salty Oyster Dockside Bar & Grill handle dining with a seafood-forward, dockside setting. Rooms keep it simple with a coffee maker rather than a full kitchenette, so plan meals around the on-site restaurants or a trip into town.
Getting into Key West itself takes almost no effort — a complimentary shuttle runs to Old Town, and on-site bike and scooter rentals are available for anyone who wants to explore independently. Once there, the Key West Island Loop is the move: a flat, largely uninterrupted cycling and running circuit that uses the island's waterfront roads and paths to trace its full perimeter, a genuinely scenic way to get real mileage in without ever leaving the water views. Between the marina setting, the shuttle access, and the loop itself, this is a solid base for anyone who wants a quieter stay with easy access to a proper island workout.

★ DESTINATION GYM: Stock Island Loop / Key West Perimeter Loop
A five-mile flowing bike loop starting near the hotel's own island, with one of the best views on any Key West route at Boca Chica Pass. It connects into the larger 10.3-mile Historic District Loop for a combined 16.4-mile ride circling the island, tracing waterfront roads and paths past landmarks like the Key West Botanical Gardens. Genuinely doorstep-accessible given the hotel's Stock Island location.
