Let’s
Centrally located between Tampa and Fort
Myers, Sarasota County can accommodate a
variety of meeting groups and has much to
offer professionals looking to work and play.
There are more than 30 traditional
hotels and resorts in the area, and more
than 5,300 rooms. Over one-quarter of
these hotels are full-service and include
meeting space.
Beachfront properties on pristine Lido
Key and Longboat Key offer the perfect
type of environment for a business retreat.
Hotels on these islands offer a wide range
of meeting space, and after-work amenities
including a golf course, tennis garden
and spa. Downtown Sarasota is minutes
from the Sarasota-Bradenton International
Airport. Hotels in this area can accommodate
larger meeting groups and provide the
convenience of walkable dining and entertainment
options downtown. Off-site venues
nearby provide even more opportunities to
have the meeting that fits your tastes.
