2 May 2024 (Sarasota, Fla.): voco hotels – part of IHG Hotels & Resorts, one of the world’s leading hotel companies – today announces the official opening of voco Sarasota following a recent rebrand and renovation. The 95-room hotel, managed by Aimbridge Hospitality LLC, marks voco’s second property in the sunshine state.
The name, voco, originates from Latin, meaning ‘to invite’ and ‘call together’ – reflecting the brand’s thoughtful, unstuffy and charming nature. Located in the city’s Rosemary District and just steps from downtown, voco Sarasota combines familiar comforts of home with the indulgences of a hotel, to create a stay experience that stands out from the crowd. With each stay, guests will enjoy a locally inspired welcome treat upon arrival, a comfy room with plush pillow and duvet fillings made from 100 percent recycled materials, and an invigorating shower with premium, plant-based amenities.
Additional amenities include an outdoor pool, a fully equipped 24/7 fitness center, pet-friendly accommodations, and convenient access to local attractions via the hotel’s complimentary shuttle and bike rentals. The hotel also boasts 1,190 square-feet of versatile meeting and event spaces, making it an ideal choice for conferences, weddings, and social gatherings.
“We’re excited to bring a new sense of energy into Sarasota’s hospitality scene while upholding the exceptional standards guests have come to rely on,” said Shannon May, general manager of voco Sarasota. “Known for its reliability and prime amenities, voco Sarasota will be the go-to destination for unparalleled comfort and convenience.”
The hotel will also introduce a new, vibrant restaurant and bar concept to Sarasota – Offshore Tapas and Wine Bar – serving breakfast, lunch, happy hour, and dinner daily. The menu, inspired by American cuisine, features the flavors of Sarasota across offerings such as fresh seafood, inventive bar snacks, and a diverse selection of local brews and hand-crafted cocktails.
