Boutique hotel with a cold plunge pool in downtown Sarasota

Pools and Outdoor Spaces

The hotel has three water features: a heated main pool, a large hot tub, and a cold plunge pool that stays refreshing even on hot days. A poolside bar serves drinks and food, and staff deliver orders directly to the lounge chairs. Guests also have access to free bicycles, table tennis, and complimentary beach chairs with umbrellas.

The hotel has 89 guest rooms, some with balconies that overlook the pool area or provide privacy through large palm trees. Certain suites include a separate living room, a kitchen, or a bathtub on the balcony. Family rooms are available, and the property is pet-friendly with no weight limit under 60 lbs.

Wink Wink Food & Drink is the on-site restaurant serving American cuisine for brunch, lunch, and dinner. The bar offers a selection of cocktails, and room service is available starting at 7:00 AM. A pool bar operates during limited hours in summer and serves food and drinks directly to loungers.

Location and Getting Around

Sarasota Opera is a 6-minute walk away, and the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall is an 8-minute walk from the hotel. The hotel provides a complimentary shuttle service to nearby spots, though it does not operate in wet weather.

“In my opinion, this boutique hotel makes a strategic base for exploring Sarasota's creative heart, with distinctive decor and thoughtfully designed rooms. I noted the vibrant pool scene and outdoor bar, coupled with its dining options featuring local ingredients. However, the reported inconsistencies in service and hidden fees seem concerning and worth considering.”
