The hotel

This hotel is a work of art. Quite literally! As you walk into the hotel you'll instantly notice the distinctive artwork and creative decorations surrounding you, and during your stay you're likely to see curated gallery exhibitions as well as art and wine tours on offer - so you can really ignite your creative mind! Whilst the art is a key factor in making this hotel so great, there's a host of other facilities to enjoy too - one of our favourites being the rooftop pool and bar where you can enjoy lovely views of Sarasota and the marina whilst taking a dip or enjoying a cocktail. The perks continue in your room, with colouring pencils and a sketchbook as well as a ukelele! Opt for a high floor room to enjoy more beautiful views, they're definitely worth it. The hotel is in the heart of Sarasota so it's easy to explore. Sarasota farmers market is just a couple of minutes walk away, and you're only 3 miles from the beautiful Lido Key Beach on the Gulf of Mexico. Complimentary bicycles are available too, so you can whip around the town to find some great restaurants and shops.

From the moment I walked in, I knew I’d made the right choice! Clarence at the front desk in the quintessential expert at informing guests of everything the hotel has to offer - and he does it in a way that interesting and makes you want to listen. Very clean, very quiet, the AC is VERY cold, comfy beds, no noise and right in the middle of quaint downtown. They even sent me a plate of chocolate covered strawberries and a bottle sparkling water! 🤌🏻 Clearly, I’ll be back! Read less
