The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota
A chic Gulf Coast retreat
VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Located in the cultural district overlooking Sarasota Bay, The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota is one of the hottest spots in the city.
Sarasota is an under-the-radar destination. Not many people know about the vast Ringling campus with stunning grounds, museums and more, or the bountiful beauty at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. But this luxury hotel puts it on their radar.
People come to the newly renovated hotel for a chic, coastal respite with beautiful views. They make a beeline for Jack Dusty to indulge in creative cocktails like the Siren (Ketel One vodka or Hendrick’s Gin, St-Germain Elderflower liqueur, fresh lemon juice and prosecco with grapefruit, cranberry and flower ice cubes that add more flavor as the night wears on) and fresh-from-the-Gulf seafood.
They visit the spa to unwind with a massage. They join the pros at the 18-hole Tom Fazio-designed Golf Club. And they hide away at the private Beach Club to soak in that Sarasota sun.
