The Sarasota Modern, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

So, this is a Marriott, but if we didn’t tell you, you’d never guess. Located in downtown’s happening Rosemary Arts & Design District, The Sarasota Modern lives up to its name, as a fresh oasis of newness, with rooms that break the typical Marriott mold with updated mid-century modern furniture and genuinely handsome artwork. A pretty pool deck has the requisite bar and whirlpool, while two other pools include a hot tub pool with underwater speakers and a cold plunge pool with waterfall. The hotel’s restaurant, Wink Wink Modern Lounge & Pool Bar, fuses old school ‘50s and ‘60s-era Sarasota supper clubs with tiki culture of the same era
