It's close to the city's main tourist highlights and is brimming with on-site amenities, restaurants, bars and live music entertainment.

Aloft Sarasota is in the Rosemary District of Sarasota on Florida's west coast, directly south of Sarasota-Bradenton Airport (SRQ). Public transport between the two is very reasonable. There are two buses you can catch, both of which take just under 25 min to make the journey. The first goes via 2nd Street and Central Avenue, leaving you with about a 7 min walk to the hotel. The other stops at the corner of 1st Street and Lemon Avenue, which is roughly a 5 min walk from the hotel. Both trips cost about $1-2 (around £0.80-1.60). If you've brought too much luggage to comfortably walk, you can hire a car through KAYAK or catch a taxi. The latter takes about 8 min and will cost between $16 and $20 (roughly £13-16).
Aloft Sarasota will indeed make a very good choice of hotel if you're travelling on business. It has a comprehensive business centre that can accommodate up to 120 people, as well as smaller individual workspaces. It comprises two event or meeting rooms and a smaller room for breakout sessions. These are equipped with the latest audio-visual technology and excellent connectivity.

There are three in-house snack and pool bars. Re:fuel by Aloft is usually open 24 hours a day, serving all kinds of snacks and refreshments, including salads, sandwiches and other savoury and sweet light meals. You can get more of this kind of casual food plus imaginative cocktails at Splash Pool Bar, which also offers great views from the hotel's rooftop pool deck. W XYZ Bar offers snacks and drinks during the day and becomes a live music venue at night, where you can enjoy craft cocktails while listening to acoustic performances. If you want more substantial meals, Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse is a short walk away.
