Tribute Portfolio Hotel The Sarasota Modern

Sarasota/Bradenton, Sarasota

Virgin rating

The hotel

With just 89 rooms this is a beautifully intimate hotel, but it still gives you a host of room types to choose from, a range of activities to enjoy, and each access to both the centre of Sarasota and beaches on the Gulf of Mexico. So basically, you can have a bit of everything - no matter what you're after! Set in the arts district, you'll find the hotel a bit of an urban oasis. When you're enjoying food, drinks, games and a splash on the pool deck, you'd forget that you're in the heart of the city. But be sure to make use of the complimentary bicycles and explore the restaurants, art galleries, bars and shops that Sarasota has to offer. And it's definitely worth a trip to Lido Beach too, it's less than 10 minutes away so you can enjoy the unspoilt sand and glorious views across the ocean. Back at the hotel the Wink Wink Modern Lounge and Pool Bar are great places to enjoy a bite to eat, relax with a board game, or enjoy a nightcap - and the weekend brunch is a must if you're around too!

I have stayed in the past 15 years at all of the Sarasota Hotels. I am a producer and at heart and detail is everything to me. The Modern Hotel in Sarasota is by far the nicest place to stay if your looking for luxury modern, superb restaurant with a chef that preps incredible Asian influenced dishes to a T. The rooms, clean, lots of superb skin and hair care products, great balconies, each room is different unique and all well equipped. Room service now is superb! I ask for towels I get them immediately, I love Will from the pool bar! Superb pool, clean, nice temperature and the jacuzzi is a plus coz it works well! The staff.. Christine at the inside bar is super quick, passionate quick with lots of love in her eyes! JACKIE, is always smiles and always giving and will do anything she can for her customers happy stay. All have wonderful energy as well as Britney who is at front desk and has lovely manner and is super supportive and knowledgeable about our Sarasota.The staff are family! It's so important t to feel great energy when you arrive at a hotel! The Modern has superb energy. They will go over the top to assist a guest with anything they need. No come often, family is here and I prefer to stay with Marina and Chelsea! Marina adore, such generous hospitality with such style! She has gone out of the way to help me out when I arrive at 1 am with my feather pillow requests and my extra towels. Chelsea over sees this superb spot that has awesome events and parties! A very stylish Chelsea and a very warm human being who truly cares about us, the customer. Life is so short! Stay here and swim and eat great food in an environment that has lovely culture and vibes! Thank you all I've stayed her 6-7 times!! Never stay elsewhere! James Read less

From the moment I arrived at The Tribute Sarasota Modern Hotel, I knew my stay would be nothing short of extraordinary. The modern, sophisticated design and welcoming atmosphere set the stage for an unforgettable experience. What truly elevated my time at this remarkable hotel, however, was the exceptional service provided by the entire team, especially Chelsea, the GM, Jason at the front desk, and the engineer, Serial. My room was an absolute haven - beautifully appointed, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully designed for both comfort and style. Every detail, from the plush bedding to the elegant decor, contributed to a sense of modern luxury that left me feeling pampered and relaxed. The on-site restaurant was a culinary delight, with innovative dishes and delectable cocktails that tantalized my taste buds. Each meal was a testament to the hotel's commitment to providing top-notch dining experiences that leave a lasting impression. However, it was the personalized and attentive service that truly made my stay exceptional. Jason, at the front desk, went above and beyond to accommodate my every need, making me feel like a cherished family member rather than just a guest. His warmth and genuine care for my well-being were evident in every interaction, and I cannot praise him enough for his outstanding hospitality. When I had specific requests, Chelsea, the GM, was immediately responsive and put them into action with professionalism and grace. Her dedication to ensuring my satisfaction and comfort made a significant impact on my overall experience. Her leadership was evident in the entire staff's commitment to providing an exceptional guest experience. The engineer, Serial, was also a pleasure to interact with - polite, professional, and accommodating. He ensured that my room and the entire hotel were maintained to the highest standards, contributing to the hotel's impeccable presentation. I have had the privilege of staying at many hotels, but The Tribute Sarasota Modern Hotel stands out as one of the best. The combination of a stylish, contemporary atmosphere, outstanding amenities, and exceptional service creates an experience that feels more like being welcomed into a warm, inviting family home than checking into a hotel. I must give a special mention to Jack, the skilled and personable bartender, who consistently provided impeccable service throughout my stay. His expertise in mixology was evident as he crafted delicious and inventive cocktails that perfectly complemented the flavors of each dish. Jack's warmth and friendliness made me feel right at home, elevating my overall dining experience and contributing to the hotel's inviting atmosphere. As my time at The Tribute Sarasota Modern Hotel draws to a close, I can honestly say that I don't want to leave. This hotel has exceeded my expectations and redefined what luxury accommodation can be. I cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone seeking an outstanding hotel experience in Sarasota. Read less

What a wonderful property. Clean and quiet. Easy in and out and great location with restaurants walkable. We stayed for a local business conference and their bar was the perfect place for our late night chats. The service was stellar for the whole stay.

Such a great vibe and super comfortable! I had a fantastic stay at The Modern for a work trip. The service was 5 star and I loved hanging out at the bar at night with friends. Will definitely be staying here again the next time I am in Sarasota—and you should too!
