A New Way to Experience Key West
You can now “Stay Like Lilly Pulitzer” at Casa Marina Key West Curio Collection by Hilton. A visit to Key West, Florida in winter is always a good idea. But the concept just got even better, as the historic Casa Marina Key West Curio Collection by Hilton has partnered with Lilly Pulitzer to redesign two oceanfront suites on the property.
The “Stay Like Lilly” collaboration—a part of Hilton’s “It Matters Where You Stay” campaign—unites two iconic names that share a deep connection. Casa Marina, a storied resort that originally opened in 1925, is set on Key West’s largest private beach and in its 100-year past, has hosted luminaries like Rita Hayworth, Guy Lombardo, Ernest Hemingway, Donald Sutherland, Helen Mirren, and Ozzie Osbourne. For Lilly Pulitzer, a brand synonymous with a resort lifestyle and sense of escape, the designer’s first ever prints were developed on Key West in 1962. It’s “where our story began,” said Michelle Kelly, CEO of Lilly Pulitzer, in a press release.
Here, an inside look at the suites that were unveiled in December, and other elements of the collaboration found throughout Casa Marina.
The Background
Last November, Lilly Pulitzer staged an 80-look fashion show on an oceanfront runway at the hotel highlighting the brand’s archives from the 1960s and beyond with a series of reissued prints redesigned in modern silhouettes. “Returning here for Spring 2026 combines our legacy rooted in print and place,” Kelly said.
The hotel took it a step further by tapping interior designer Amanda Reynal, founder of Amanda Reynal Interiors, to impart the whimsy and joy of the Lilly aesthetic to the suites. “We wanted the suites to feel like you could come back from the beach covered in sand and feel embraced,” said Reynal in an interview with T+L. To that end, her company used layered patterns that included the Lilly Pulitzer archival revival fabrics, bold and hand-painted murals, and swaths of paint in seaworthy shades. Reynal noted that the goal was to conjure a “vacation land” that felt Bohemian and relaxed. “We really leaned into the original Lilly Pulitzer Key West motif and the exuberance of Lilly translated so beautifully,” Reynal said.
What The Suites Are Like
The suites are quite popular according to Thom Caska, the complex general manager of Casa Marina and The Reach Key West, a sister property just a five-minute drive away. “The Stay Like Lilly” suites have quickly become our most in-demand accommodations, consistently ranking among the first to book,” he said. “It’s been incredibly rewarding to witness the genuine reactions they inspire, seeing both kids and adults light up the moment they walk into the space.” Caska noted that while families have delighted in the connected suites, they have become a clear favorite among women traveling together.
“We’ve hosted everything from bachelorette celebrations to girlfriend getaways where the suite naturally becomes the heart of the stay,” Caska said.
“Lilly always said she had a wild side, and a mild side,” said Reynal. This idea is something the design team tried to highlight in the suites. While both are imbued with the spirit of Lilly, the double queen suite is a vibrant mix of pink and green patterns, rattan cane furniture, and playful motifs including butterflies, sun faces, and florals. Many of the revived archival designs are on display, too.
If a cooler color story is more appealing, the king suite boasts a palette of greens and blues, accented by custom water stripes across banquettes and bolster pillows along with decorative ceilings and Lilly-inspired accents. Both rooms offer a curated, mood-setting playlist available via QR Code, as well as a Lilly-inspired room scent.
How To Book
In one way or another, virtually everyone can partake in a Lilly moment while staying at Casa Marina. For guests with a resort pass, “Lilly pad daybeds”—lounges decked in cushy terry cloth, paired with Lilly-printed umbrellas—are available for rent. There are Lilly Pulitzer-themed cocktails, and at Morrison’s Market, the hotel’s retail boutique, a selection of the new fashion collection is available for sale.
Prices for the “Stay Like Lilly” suites start at $690 and reservations are available through Nov. 15, 2026, via Hilton.com and ResortPass.com.
