Wedding Party

Q + A

Given Sarasota's recent accolades as one of the top beaches in the country, along with early March being peak season in South Florida, hotels are not willing to offer discounted rates for wedding blocks. With that being said, there are options to fit all budgets and we've spelled out a few of our recommendations below. Nearby airports include SRQ, TPA, and RSW. We're looking forward to celebrating our wedding day with you and we hope you enjoy your vacation in sunny Sarasota, Florida.

Step into a one-of-a-kind boutique hotel in downtown Sarasota, Florida. Hotel features include the Perspective Rooftop Bar, Overture Restaurant and rooms with stunning views of Sarasota, the marina and Bayfront Park.&nbsp;A year-round outdoor pool and artful interactions not found anywhere else set us apart from the usual hotels in Sarasota. Perks include self-parking, use of two beach chairs with a portable cooler and bike or kick scooter rentals.

Set in a polished building on a commercial street, this hip, contemporary hotel features a rooftop terrace with an outdoor pool, a hot tub, a fire pit and city views. There's also a 24-hour gym, plus a trendy bar with a snack menu and regular live music.

Aloft Sarasota

Set along a tree-lined street, this fashionable boutique hotel in a modern low-rise building is less than a mile from both Bayfront Park and Marina, and the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. A local area shuttle is complimentary. Other amenities include a chic restaurant, a juice bar and a cafe, plus an outdoor pool, a hot tub and a gym.

The Sarasota Modern, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Soaring over the Sarasota Bay and downtown, The Westin Sarasota is situated moments from top destinations such as St. Armands Circle, Mote Marine&nbsp;Aquarium, Siesta Key Beach and Lido Key Beach. Enjoy a workout in our well-equipped fitness center before heading to our on-site spa. Our signature restaurant offers comfort food prepared with healthy ingredients, while our rooftop bar serves refreshing poolside cocktails while you're soaking up the sun.
