Travel & Stay
Hotel
Aloft Sarasota
Sarasota, FL 34236 (941) 870-0900
We have rooms blocked here under my name that you can inquire about. Located in downtown Sarasota, this artistic loft-inspired hotel is great if you want to be in the middle of the action-- 15 minutes from the wedding venue and 15 minutes across the bridge from Lido beach where I am from/where Eric and I will be staying.
Hotel
Embassy Suites by Hilton Sarasota
Sarasota, FL 34236 (941) 256-0190
Located at the fork between downtown and the bridge to Lido beach, this hotel is also 15 minutes from the venue, 3 minutes from downtown, and 15 minutes from the beach.
Hotel
Hyatt Place Sarasota/Bradenton Airport
Sarasota, FL 34234 (941) 554-5800
We have rooms blocked here under my name that you can enquire about. The wedding venue, Powel Crosley, is only about a 4 minute drive from this hotel! If you are looking for simplicity and convenience, this is your spot!
Hotel
Hampton Inn & Suites Sarasota/Bradenton-Airport
Sarasota, FL 34243 (941) 355-8140
Right next door to the Hyatt Place, also a great spot for convenience!
Flight
Tampa International Airport TPA
Tampa is typically cheaper to fly into than Sarasota. That being said, you need to take into account the fact that Tampa is anywhere from 1-2hrs drive to Sarasota depending on traffic. Coming in during rush hour is going to push you towards 1/2-3 hrs drive. Otherwise it's a fairly easy 1 hr drive.
Flight
Sarasota/Bradenton Airport SRQ
SRQ is definitely the most convenient option for flying in. Being only 4 minutes away from the wedding venue and right next to a few of the hotel options, this is the more relaxing choice, but the flights are typically more expensive to fly in here.
