Located in a former Ringling family residence in Sarasota's Arts District, The Reserve Retreat spans three historic buildings with six unique rooms and a separate 700-square-foot casita. This boutique Sarasota hotel features rooms with king-size beds, private en-suite bathrooms, and four units equipped with kitchens or kitchenettes. The property houses two restaurants, including a café serving American cuisine for breakfast and lunch, plus a coffee shop offering Java Dawg organic coffee and specialty drinks. The outdoor space between buildings provides a setting for live music, with performances by Steve Bramow during Sunday brunch from noon to 2 PM. Situated 6 miles from Sarasota Bradenton International Airport, The Reserve Retreat puts guests within 1-1 mile of cultural attractions including Art Center Sarasota, Ringling College Galleries, and Sarasota Farmers Market.
