Nashville-based Oliver Hospitality, a hospitality management and development company, announces the addition of The Sarasota Modern, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, to its collection of hotels and restaurants. The new partnership is a milestone marking Oliver Hospitality’s entrance into Florida.
“We are honored to be working with The Sarasota Modern and launching the hotel into its next era,” said Ethan Orley, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Oliver Hospitality. “The hotel seamlessly aligns with our brand values of community connectivity, exceptional experiences, sophisticated amenities rooted in local culture, and a central hub for locals and visitors to experience the best of Sarasota.”
The 89-room hotel is nestled in the heart of Sarasota’s Rosemary Arts District, and features a curated collection of distinct room layouts, from private patio suites to the 1,100-square-foot Rosemary Suite with an expansive balcony and partial ocean views. Wink Wink Food & Drink brings mid-century glamour to modern Sarasota with an all-day restaurant and bar inspired by the chic supper clubs and tropical tiki lounges of the 1950s and ’60s. Menus rooted in local ingredients reimagine comfort food through a global lens, while inventive cocktails and mocktails capture the carefree spirit of coastal living.
A sun-soaked sophisticated pool deck houses a cold plunge, hot tub, and resort-style pool outfitted with cabanas, loungers and signature events throughout the year. Wink Wink Pool Bar is the signature restaurant’s outpost for poolside bites and libations. Additional hotel amenities include cruiser bikes to explore downtown, yoga sessions, and a curated menu of turndown experiences. In keeping with Oliver Hospitality’s commitment to community connection, the hotel will source select in-room amenities and package elements from local purveyors, from artisan coffee roasters to nostalgic 1970s-inspired sweets. The approach not only ties the property to Sarasota’s vibrant creative community but also supports the small businesses that make the destination so distinctly local. All stays include complimentary private ride service to local areas, including Lido Key Beach, where guests can enjoy beach chairs and umbrellas.
From intimate weddings to unique business gatherings, The Sarasota Modern sets the stage for unforgettable group experiences offering flexible indoor-outdoor venues, personalized service, and special offers to suit any occasion.
The partnership with The Sarasota Modern continues momentum toward Oliver Hospitality’s vision to double its portfolio within the next two years, with several hotel projects in development across the country.
