Key West Florida Key Lodge Motel 1960s Postcard Unposted Chrome

This 1960s chrome postcard presents the Key Lodge Motel in Key West, Florida, highlighting both its tropical courtyard setting and modern guest room interior.

During the postwar travel boom, Key West developed as a leisure destination promoted through vivid color postcards that emphasized palm-lined grounds, outdoor relaxation areas, and comfortable air-conditioned rooms. Roadside motels in Florida capitalized on subtropical landscaping and bright mid-century décor to attract motorists driving U.S. Highway 1 through the Keys. Split-image layouts became common in chrome-era cards, pairing exterior views with staged interior scenes to communicate both atmosphere and amenities.

The upper image shows a landscaped courtyard framed by palm trees, flowering shrubs, and lounge seating, while the lower panel features a neatly arranged guest room with bold bedspread, patterned drapes, bedside lamps, and exposed ceiling beams. The printed caption identifies Key Lodge Motel, Key West, Fla., and the reverse displays standard chrome-era postcard markings. The item shown in the listing is the exact item the collector will receive.
