Ocean Drive on Miami Beach, Bourbon Street in New Orleans, The Strip in Vegas… every party city has its iconic road, and in Key West, it’s Duval Street.

Ocean Key Resort & Spa

Why it made the list

Zero Duval is a memorable and extremely desirable location, but what you’ll probably reminisce about the most after your trip is the fact that you were in the midst of Key West’s Sunset Celebration each night, right from your balcony (ask for a sunset view room!).
