Selected as one of the top resorts in the U.S. by Conde Nast Traveler's reader's poll, the Westin Key West Resort & Spa has dropped midweek rates through Dec. 21 to $209 per night -- a 45% savings on surrounding dates. Visit Jan. 6-10 or Jan. 13-15 for $30 more per night.

This AAA 4-Diamond resort is right on the water in Key West's "Old Town" section. Shops, restaurants and bars line Duval Street, which is one block from the hotel. Historic Mallory Square is also close by, with its shipwreck museum and historical memorial sculpture garden.

Rooms have private balconies and wrap around the outdoor pool, offering views of the gardens, courtyard or ocean.

Note: Select stays may require full pre-payment and be non-refundable and non-changeable.
