The agreement and impending conversion of Ocean’s border Resort & Marina into Hilton Key West Resort & Marina, situated on Stock Island at the eastern border of Key West, Florida, substantially expands Hilton’s footprint in the Florida Keys hospitality sector. Reservations for stays at the waterfront property will be accepted starting from July 1, 2026. Sunstone Hotel Investors owns the resort, while Hilton will oversee its management.

With the makeover, Hilton Hotels & Resorts will have another waterfront resort in their portfolio that offers full service. This property is conveniently located near a marina and is perfect for vacationers, business travellers, and event planners in the Florida Keys.

According to Leonard Gooz, Global Brand Leader of Hilton Hotels & Resorts, “Hilton Key West Resort & Marina represents an exciting addition to Hilton’s renowned portfolio in the Florida Keys, a destination where travellers come to unplug and embrace the spirit of the island lifestyle.” “The resort will provide guests with an authentic Florida Keys getaway along with the dependable service and elevated hospitality of Hilton, thanks to its waterfront setting, full-service marina, open-air amenities, and island-inspired experiences.”

Each of the 175 rooms and suites at the resort will have a furnished balcony that looks out over the tropical scenery, the marina, or the Atlantic Ocean.

Yellowfin Bar & Kitchen will provide island-inspired dishes, while Ocean’s Edge Café will offer grab-and-go options. Numerous saltwater pools, a fitness center, paddleboarding, kayaking, cycling, yoga, and other recreational opportunities are available as extra amenities.

The property will offer both indoor and outdoor spaces for gatherings, with a boardroom measuring 570 square feet and a patio measuring 1,140 square feet.

As part of the resort’s integration into the Hilton portfolio, the company plans to upgrade it while preserving its riverfront charm and character, according to Hilton.
