Art Ovation Hotel, Autograph Collection | Sarasota/Bradenton, Sarasota | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Sarasota/Bradenton, Sarasota

4 stars

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.

“Great experience”

We had a professional event there tonight. The staff was great. Especially the gentleman! Mike, at the concierge’s desk this evening.

“Only place I stay in downtown Sarasota”

Sep 16, 2025Brent Y

Great location in downtown Sarasota - dog friendly, attentive staff and rooftop pool and bar. Mike at the front desk was helpful and had great suggestions for dog, friendly restaurants and bars.

“A Warm Welcome Back”

Sep 15, 2025Caroline M C

I have stayed at this property many times over the last five years for business and family trips and have found it to be a consistently good experience. The service is wonderful, the rooms are spacious and the rooftop pool is a very nice amenity to enjoy should you not have time for the beach. Being warmly greeted (and remembered) by Tony and the entire valet have who have been there for years is a nice way to start your stay at Art Ovation in Sarasota.
