Top 5-Star Hotels in Sarasota

This hotel is very pretty inside and out. Check in was smooth and he even held our bags for us so that we could immediately jump on the shuttle to go to the beach club. We returned after around 8pm to turn in early. The room next to us was very loud so we decided to get something to eat and come back. Around 1030 the noise had gotten louder but we did not want to ruin the party so we tried to fall asleep as is. Around 130am we could not take it anymore and called down to the desk to try resolve the issue because we could not sleep. The lady said she sent the security team up and that the guy would turn off his TV. I had no idea what she was talking about as this was not a TV at all, but a full on party with easily 15+ people in one room. I complained again and she finally resolved the issue after over an hour. I wanted to write a great review of this property but I slept less than an hour and have a long drive ahead so I'm unsatisfied

Stayed briefly overnight for business in downtown Sarasota. Very nice property. Clean, modern, comfortable beds and bedding. Balcony view at night was awesome. Staff was truly exceptional. Will be bringing my family back to enjoy the resort, my stay was too short.

Just wanted to first of all thank delivering again on an amazing Westin experience - overall everything has been great; from Valet, to Service, to Room attention, the roof top bar - amazing !!! I wanted to take a special moment to commend Rose in the restaurant. Her service, her attention, her up beat attitude, taking time to be personable, handling small issues as if they're just not issues at all - she was great the days that our response team, and myself in particular, were assisted with Breakfast.

In the name of art, you can charge more. There is nothing special about it. It is very close to the beach, and there are many restaurants around, which is more convenient. Hygiene, bedding and facilities are the normal level of general hotels.

The Sarasota Modern is a hip, cool hotel with a Palm Springs 1960’s feel to it. It is located in the Rosemary district so it is about six blocks or a 12 minute walk to downtown. My friend and I stayed at this property for two nights 4/20-4/22/23. The rate was more affordable then the other surrounding hotels. My room was located on the fourth floor right next to the elevator, which initially concerned me. This room turned out to be the best room for me. I never heard the elevator or people getting on and off. This room was located away from the other hotel rooms so you never heard your neighbors. I had a large corner room with high ceilings, large bathroom and shower, refrigerator, small closet with safe and two bottled waters were replaced daily. The lighting in the bathroom is awful! It is so dimly lit that it is hard to put make up on or for men to shave. They provide a make up mirror, but the lighting on that was awful too. The shower was large enough for two people but there was no shelf or bench to put your personal shower items on. The wifi connection is a problem at this hotel. If you need to do work on your laptop computer, forget it. It is so slow and extremely frustrating. My iPhone was just as bad. Better service at surrounding coffee shops and restaurants. We had lunch at their restaurant Wink and cocktails at the pool bar. Staff is very friendly and efficient. The pool area is nice but on the smaller side. The cushions on the lounge chairs are badly stained and need to be replaced. Even on a crowded Friday afternoon, the pool area had a nice chill vibe to it which was enjoyable. The hotel has no shuttle service. You will need to Uber it to the airport, beach, etc. There is a free Trolley that you can pick up on Main Street that will take you over to Lido Beach. Overall we had a nice stay here and will probably come back again next time we’re in Sarasota.

I want to start by saying I knew this wasn’t a “resort hotel” when I made our reservation. But, this also isn’t a “resort hotel”. It isn’t on the beach & while nice, the pool is pretty standard as far as hotel pools. What this hotel does have going for it is it’s location in a different way. It is only 2 short blocks from the waterfront marina & park (a couple good restaurants there, boats & park activities) & is within easy walking distance of many very good restaurants, shopping & grocery stores. It is also an easy car ride (10-30 minutes depending on traffic) from at least 4 beaches as well as other restaurants. Our room was very spacious with plenty of space for the 3 of us (& could add a 4th with no problem). The lobby is nice & open with a bar that appeared popular. The exercise room had plenty of machines & space to workout. The pool was nice, if standard. We used both several times. The valets were nice & got to recognize us & talked to us every day, asked what we were planning & gave us suggestions. Definitely a hotel I’d consider staying at again if we return to Sarasota.

Located in the Lido Bay of Sarasota, the hotel is close to the island's shopping and leisure area and has a beautiful environment. It is about 10 minutes drive from downtown. The hotel has a private beach, because there is red algae pollution during this time, there is no sea. Before the stay, the hotel will remind you to confirm whether you want to stay. The room has a large fridge and simple kitchenware, a microwave and a dishwasher, perfect for cooking.

The hotel has ample parking, friendly staff, clean and hygienic facilities, and simple breakfast. It is less than a 20-minute drive from the beach. I will stay in the next opportunity and I highly recommend it.

I am writing this review to defend this wonderful hotel. I go there every year for my birthday which is on the first week of September. I go after LaborDay. The hotel is a wonderful bargain. It is at least $100 a night less than most of the other hotels. It is NOT a showcase hotel nor does it claim to be. If you want modern decor, large restaurants and fancy rooms this is not the place for you. If you want a hotel with real character and charm and fabulous service this is your place. We ate one night at the bar and one breakfast at the restaurant. (only bar is opened for dinner) Both times the food was delicious and ample. Our room was clean but the furniture was dated. If this is a problem, you are spending too much time in the room. Pillows were comfortable. TV and air conditioner both worked. We had hot and cold water. Each day you are given complimentary water. The staff was more than accommodating. Garage parking is available and part of the service fee. Some people said there was a smell. There is a slight smell all over the island. The beach is right in front of the bar. Towels and chaises are also part of the service fee. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who recognizes a great dollar value. It is quaint and relaxing and makes you feel like you have gone back in time.
