Art Ovation Hotel, Autograph Collection

The Art Ovation Hotel is located in the heart of downtown Sarasota, two blocks from the waterfront. The Perspective Rooftop Bar (next to the rooftop swimming pool) offers great views of the city and waterfront. The in-house restaurant Tzeva offers Mediterranean fare with an Israeli influence. Each of the 162 guest rooms and suites features an art display from a Gulf Coast artist.

Downtown Sarasota is home to several music and theater performance venues, as well as the Selby Botanical Gardens. Condominiums and office buildings line the crescent-shaped waterfront that overlooks the marina and Sarasota Bay. Just across the Ringling Causeway bridge you'll find much more to see and do on St. Armand's Key, Lido Key and Longboat Key.
