Race World Offshore has named The Keys Collection as official host hotel group for the Key West World Championships, locking in a room block across three properties on a single site.
Blue Flamingo Resort, Key West's newest resort, takes the flagship role and holds the official race week room block. It sits alongside Hilton Garden Inn Key West and Fairfield Inn & Suites Key West, both on the same block and sharing the same Keys Collection amenities.
Kiwi fans weighing up a trip should take note early. Key West draws a crowd during race week, and accommodation close to the action tends to go quickly. It joins other options already lining up for the event, with Key West Historic Inns in Old Town also positioning themselves as a base for the week.
The room block runs on a three-night minimum stay and is bookable until 16 October. A promo code, RWOKWEB, applies automatically at checkout, subject to availability.
Blue Flamingo itself offers 245 rooms and suites with ocean views, two pools, and a pair of bars, Rum Row and Toasted Coconut. There's also a newly added Backyard Pool & Social Club, complete with a Karaoke Cabana, for guests wanting something to do between races.
Across the three hotels there are 519 rooms and suites in total, with four pools and pool bars between them. The block sits roughly a mile from Key West International Airport, which is itself backing the championships for the 45th year running, a short run for anyone flying in just for the racing.
Hilton Garden Inn Key West adds 141 rooms, a heated outdoor pool with its own rum bar, an on-site restaurant, beach gear for guests, and a shuttle into Old Town. Fairfield Inn & Suites Key West rounds out the block with 133 rooms and suites, complimentary hot breakfast, free parking, a resort pool with cabanas, and a downtown shuttle running every 30 minutes.
All three properties sit on the same block and share the same amenities, so groups travelling together, teams and support crews included, should find logistics straightforward.
Key West remains one of offshore racing's marquee weeks, and once the racing wraps up for the day there's plenty to keep visitors occupied, with the Key West Cooking Show already lined up to keep the evenings going.
Booking is handled directly through the properties, with the Blue Flamingo rate carrying the official race week discount. Anyone planning to follow the championships in person will want accommodation sorted well before the block fills.
