The Reserve Retreat - Historic Ringling Family Estate with Restaurant and Gardens in Arts District

Located in a former Ringling family residence, this historic Sarasota hotel combines six unique guest rooms and a 700-square-foot casita in the Indian Beach/Sapphire Shores neighborhood. Three accommodations feature full kitchens, while all rooms include king-size beds, private ensuite bathrooms, and air conditioning. The Reserve Retreat houses two on-site dining venues: a casual American café serving breakfast and lunch, plus a restaurant offering fresh seafood and steak dishes from Wednesday to Thursday, 5-9 PM. Live music performances include Coastal Steve Bramow playing rock, blues, and contemporary tunes during Sunday brunch from noon to 2 PM. The property maintains a coffee shop serving Java Dawg organic coffee and a bar offering French single estate wines. Positioned in the Arts District, the hotel stands 0.5 miles from Art Center Sarasota, 1 mile from Palm Avenue Shops, and 6 miles from Sarasota Bradenton International Airport. The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art is situated 2.5 miles away.

Pros

Early 1900s romantic ambiance preserved in historic architecture

Pet-friendly rooms accommodate two pets under 40 pounds

Outdoor dining area between buildings features live music performances

Complimentary beach chairs and towels provided for guests

Free parking available on premises

Cons

Pet accommodation limited to specific rooms with additional fees ($50 for 1-4 nights, $100 for 5+ nights)

“This boutique property, formerly a Ringling family residence, has a charming, curated feel; the on-site Italian restaurant and coffee shop add genuine appeal, and guests can easily walk to nearby parks and downtown. The comfortable rooms come with thoughtful touches like complimentary wine, though light sleepers might note some street noise in the mornings. Overall, a distinctive and personable stay.”
