More Hotel Rooms for Downtown Sarasota

A local landowner is proposing to replace Patrick's Restaurant, a Main Street landmark for more than two decades, with an 18-story InterContinental Hotel with 121 rooms. Benderson Development Co. is planning a 332-room upscale hotel at the corner of Main Street and Orange Avenue and Ruben Holland Development is considering lodging for its project behind Main Plaza, at U.S. 301 and Main Street. With these 3 proposed hotels, The Quay's plans to add a hotel, The Hyatt's decision to not close and build condos and the grand opening of Hotel Indigo there won't be a shortage of places to stay in downtown Sarasota.

It will be interesting to see if the city will approve an 18 story hotel on the 11,000 square foot site that Patrick's restaurant currently resides.

With plenty of available hotel rooms Sarasota will be able to attract more conventions.
