FAQs when booking at Aloft Sarasota

  • What makes this hotel a good choice in Sarasota?

    Aloft Sarasota is a very approachable boutique hotel with a vibrant atmosphere and trendy decor. It's equally welcoming for everyone, from solo travellers to families to businesspeople. It's close to the city's main tourist highlights and is brimming with on-site amenities, restaurants, bars and live music entertainment. There's also a fitness centre, so you can work off the extra calories from indulgent holiday meals. The hotel is fully accessible for those with limited mobility, and pets are allowed on request. The rooms are well appointed, with refrigerators and coffee machines, and there's a full laundry service. You can choose a view over the city or over the hotel's landscaped gardens.

  • How easy is it to get from the airport to this hotel?

    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).

  • Is this a good hotel for a business trip?

    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 banqueting facilities too, if you need to organise a social event. A valet parking service is provided for guests along with a free shuttle service to fetch them from Sarasota-Bradenton Airport.

  • What dining facilities does the hotel offer?

    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.

  • What room should I book at this hotel?

    Although this is a chic boutique hotel, the rates are reasonable. You could book the more luxurious Super Queen or Super King rooms, but the basic Aloft King Room has lots of space and plenty of amenities. The king-size bed comes with luxury linen, and the rooms have ergonomic seating areas plus a desk area. Entertainment comes as a selection of premium movie, satellite and cable channels. There's also a coffee machine, a safe and a mini fridge.
