Beachfront hotels in Sarasota

Located in the Sunshine State, Sarasota, Florida, is known for its stunning beachfront, vibrant arts scene and rich history. For those who appreciate the joy of warm, Gulf Coast breezes, the sound of waves lapping at the shore, and the prospect of witnessing a spectacular sunset with toes buried in pristine, white sand, one cannot beat the experience of staying at a beachfront hotel in Sarasota.
One of the unique qualities of Sarasota is its rich circus history. Sarasota was once the winter home of the Ringling Brothers Circus, and now hosts The Ringling Museum of Art, which showcases masterpieces of art and maintains the legacy of the circus with an interactive circus museum. For the culture lovers planning a stay at a beachfront hotel in Sarasota, the Ringling Museum is a must-visit.
In addition to the obvious beach-related activities, this cosmopolitan city caters to nature lovers too. Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium, a working aquarium where visitors can see ongoing research, is home to manatees, dolphins, and a variety of sea turtles — a perfect family outing. After a day of exploration, guests can retreat to their beachfront accommodations and embrace the tranquility that Sarasota offers.
Lastly, Sarasota's Siesta Key beach must not be overlooked. Awarded the title of #1 Beach in the USA, it's renowned for its cool, powdery white sand and is just a stone’s throw from many beachfront hotels. It's an ideal place to disconnect and unwind, letting the coastal charm of Sarasota, Florida wash over you as the sun disappears into the captivating Gulf of Mexico.
