Bottom Line

The 95-room Hotel Indigo Sarasota is an upper-middle-range boutique property located off of Highway 41 and close to several restaurants, attractions, and the beach. Inviting, contemporary interiors have a beach-chic style, including the spacious, sunlit rooms with coffeemakers, flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and modern bathrooms with large walk-in showers. The hotel's H2O Bistro serves up fresh, tasty food with local ingredients, and there's also a 24-hour H2O Grab & Go with sandwiches and snacks. The two outdoor wading pools are small, but surrounded by a lovely fountain and greenery. The hotel also has three meeting rooms, as well as a business area and small fitness center that are open 24/7. The nearby Hyatt Regency Sarasota offers more amenities, such as a large pool, a private marina, and beach shuttle service, though at a higher rate.

Hotel Indigo Sarasota

Scene

Boutique hotel with contemporary beach style and a light and airy feel

The open and airy lobby of this charming, boutique hotel is bedecked in a beach-chic style with beautiful hardwood floors, a tiled front desk with lovely turquoise accent wall, and stylish, contemporary furniture that includes a colorful seating area. Large white Adirondack-style chairs are cushioned with bright pillows and a marvelous waterfall wall with blue recessed lighting adds a tranquil feel. The hotel's H2O Bistro also exhibits a contemporary beach feel, with large nautical photos adorning the walls, wood floors, bright lighting, and white wicker chairs. The property is popular with both leisure tourists as well as business travelers who are attracted by amenities like several meeting rooms and a business center.

Rooms

Contemporary, upscale beach style with lots of natural light and lovely bathrooms

Rooms have an upscale, beachy feel with green drapes, wood floors, white wood headboards, and colorful accent pillows that pop against white bedding. Multicolored area rugs complement the hues while blue armchairs with ottomans offer seating. Accent walls covered by huge nature photos of plants or trees add a sense of freshness and the spaces are filled with lots of natural light courtesy of large windows. All rooms have flat-screen TVs with cable channels, coffeemakers, work desks, and free Wi-Fi; some also have living areas with gray couches as well as bathrobes and mini-fridges. Modern bathrooms with green walls feature tan granite vanities with lots of counter space and large walk-in showers with wood shower seats, as well as hairdryers and Aveda toiletries. Travelers should note that certain rooms might get noise due to thin walls.
