KEY WEST, Fla., Jan. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Unlike any venue in Key West, sister properties The Gates Hotel Key West and 24° North Hotel unveiled Sunset Green. Their new 12,105-sq.-ft. shared multipurpose event lawn serves as the focal point for these award-winning boutique lifestyle hotels.

Sunset Green, Key West's newest event venue, provides entertainment for up to 1,200 guests and is designed to host weddings complete with a wedding trellis, as well as family-friendly concerts, movie nights, yoga classes, and lawn games such as bocce ball, cornhole, and Frisbee.

"We're thrilled to showcase Sunset Green's beauty and locale," said Alan Brand, Vice President of Operations for Highgate. "Our inspiration behind Sunset Green is to cultivate a community through one-of-a-kind on-site activities and events."

With an endless range of uses, the event space is utilized for public or private events. The lawn is designed to accommodate comfortable seating such as Adirondack chairs or hammocks – all surrounded by landscape native to the Keys.

Anchored on one end of the event lawn, The Gates' signature food truck, The Blind Pig, serves a tapas-style selection of "conch fusion." Behind the 24° North pool, beach area serves as a quiet and relaxing retreat that is open to the public and accessible from the event lawn.
