The Westin Sarasota is an 18-story tall building withing eyeshot of Marina Jacks with great views of the bay. It’s located in Sarasota’s downtown arts district and has great proximity to Armand’s Circle for food and shopping, and it’s very close to the boat launching area.

The best part is that it has a rooftop pool that’s very cool. It’s a popular spot to have a drink, order dishes, and watch the sunset over the bay. It has a large valet entrance, and the staff is very helpful. There is a restaurant here and the breakfast is great.

The rooms are what you would expect from a Westin. No big surprises here.
