Set in Sarasota’s Rosemary Arts & Design District, The Sarasota Modern offers a stay that feels connected to the city rather than removed from it. The boutique property brings together clean-lined design, relaxed coastal energy, and a strong sense of place, creating a home base for travelers who want to experience Sarasota beyond the beach.
The hotel’s 89 rooms are designed with a modern, comfort-first approach, giving guests a polished but easy place to settle in between days spent exploring the city. On site, the experience centers around the outdoor pool deck, where private cabanas, a hot tub, cold plunge, and open-air lounging create a resort-style atmosphere without losing the intimacy of a boutique hotel. It is the kind of setting that makes staying in feel like part of the itinerary, whether the day begins with a slow morning by the pool or ends with a cocktail after dinner.
Dining and drinks are also part of the hotel’s appeal. Wink Wink Modern Lounge & Pool Bar brings a playful food and beverage experience to the property, drawing inspiration from midcentury supper clubs and vintage tiki culture while keeping the atmosphere fresh, social, and distinctly Sarasota. Guests can move easily from poolside drinks to dinner, or use the hotel as a starting point before heading out into the neighborhood.
The property also gives visitors a reason to plan an evening around the hotel itself with 7 Paintings, an immersive multi-course dining experience that blends food, storytelling, art, and projection mapping. Throughout the approximately 2.5-hour experience, iconic masterpieces are brought to life through visual storytelling and interactive moments, with each course designed to complement the artistic narrative. For couples, groups, special occasions, or travelers looking for something beyond the traditional dinner reservation, 7 Paintings adds a cultural and culinary layer to the stay that feels especially fitting in a city known for the arts.
What makes The Sarasota Modern especially compelling is its location. The hotel sits just steps from the Rosemary District and downtown Sarasota, placing guests close to galleries, restaurants, boutiques, performing arts venues, and the waterfront. From there, it is a short ride to Sarasota’s beaches, including the white-sand coastline that makes the Gulf Coast such a draw. Cultural attractions, downtown dining, Bayfront Park, the arts district, and the broader Sarasota food scene are all within easy reach.
For travelers planning a weekend around art, architecture, dining, beach time, or simply a change of pace, The Sarasota Modern offers the right balance: a stylish place to retreat, enough on-site amenities to make the hotel feel like a destination, and a location that makes it easy to move through the best of Sarasota.
