Ocean Key is a four star resort and spa located at mile zero in beautiful Key West, the final southern stop on the iconic highway 1. The resort is right on the sea, overlooking the historic sunset pier, originally built in the 1830s. Sunset pier has seen many iterations (and hurricanes) over its lifespan, and now serves as a vital hub for the Key West community and visitors alike.

As a staple in Key West since its inception in 1981, Ocean Key has provided countless stays and experiences for visitors of the Florida Keys. It is now undergoing a transformation, embracing the flamboyance, creativity, and tropical vibrance of Key West with an elegant design that inspires and engages.

A new, commissioned mural on the façade of Ocean Key will activate the hotel and convey the eclectic and creative energy of the hotel’s re-imagined design. The Ocean Key mural will be a delight for visitors, a draw for residents, and staple of public art in the city for years to come.
