Tribute Portfolio Hotel The Sarasota Modern | Sarasota/Bradenton, Sarasota | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Sarasota/Bradenton, Sarasota

4 stars

With just 89 rooms this is a beautifully intimate hotel, but it still gives you a host of room types to choose from, a range of activities to enjoy, and each access to both the centre of Sarasota and beaches on the Gulf of Mexico. So basically, you can have a bit of everything - no matter what you're after! Set in the arts district, you'll find the hotel a bit of an urban oasis. When you're enjoying food, drinks, games and a splash on the pool deck, you'd forget that you're in the heart of the city. But be sure to make use of the complimentary bicycles and explore the restaurants, art galleries, bars and shops that Sarasota has to offer. And it's definitely worth a trip to Lido Beach too, it's less than 10 minutes away so you can enjoy the unspoilt sand and glorious views across the ocean. Back at the hotel the Wink Wink Modern Lounge and Pool Bar are great places to enjoy a bite to eat, relax with a board game, or enjoy a nightcap - and the weekend brunch is a must if you're around too!

“NOT RECOMMENDED”

Aug 10, 2025Neal C

Our experience had nothing particularly good and nothing seriously bad, in short, The Modern is blah. Check in was slow - one desk person who was extremely unskilled in using her laptop. As she struggled, the line kept growing and people became impatient. Finally, in completing the check in, we were informed that we were upgraded to the room we actually selected and were paying for. Desk attendant had nothing to say. Room (a deluxe king junior suite) was OK, but furniture is aging and needs a refresh. Bathroom sink was chipped and shower had rust at its threshold. Most significantly, in what was probably "value engineering" the room had one air-conditioning inflow - in the ceiling in the sitting area and the cool air in a HOT climate did not get to the sleeping area. Further, in what was probably an effort in "energy conservation" the room got extremely hot in the middle of the night. We guess that there was a programmed cur back in cooling to save energy a/k/a money.

Bad experience - zero customer service . Front desk : Waiting for check-in the room . Pool not clean . Food is not good . No professional. Expensive for what is it.

“Amazing place in downtown SRQ”

Overall: 10/10. And yeah, no one paid me to write this. They should, though… Background about this review: Just a(n) honest review from a traveler who has been around a bit. This is my 4th visit here over the past 5ish years. 700 nights with Marriott and a couple hundred with another brand. 😃 The property: I think it’s about 90 rooms on 5 floors. It is a boutique - in a good way. The ground floor has some cool walk to the pool rooms; 4th and 5th have nice suites with tubs on balconies plus some lovely Rosemary suites. I am not sure about 2nd and 3rd. The Pool area: It’s lovely. 3 bodies of water: (1) large and well heated pool with plenty of seating around it; (2) a cold plunge pool and (3) a very large hot tub. There is a pool side bar with food and drink. Hours are “limited” in the summer but Will is awesome. Wink Wink- Medium sized bar and restaurant inside. The breakfast is solid. Never really had lunch. Dinner is a small menu but quite decent. Daniel was great during brekkie, and Toni was quite tolerant of us during dinner. 😊 The awesome Staff: I specifically want to thank, in no particular order: Daniel, Toni, Will, and of course, last but certainly not least Marrissa. All were exceptional! I also know I’m missing two other staff members who checked us in and provided beach gear! Our stay: We visited during a late summer weekend. Checkin was a breeze, and staff happily and quickly brought us more bedding, pillows, a package and glassware. A phenomenal clean, spacious suite with SRQ and pool view. Excellent location in close proximity to food and drink. Other details: Ice on all floors but 5. Beach gear provided for free at desk. Elite perk is free brekkie.
