Elements inspired by The Ringling Museum – crystal chandeliers, patterned marble floors, fine art and richly detailed furnishings – showcase the classical interior architecture of The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota. Guest rooms and suites throughout the hotel emphasize Sarasota's natural beauty and elegance. An exemplary art collection was developed for the main hotel which showcases fine 18th and 19th century art from around the world. The Beach Club at the The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota, was designed to be a less formal location than the main hotel. The Beach Club has simple pine millwork walls detailed in a classical manner, complemented by soft, comfortable and colorful furnishings. Artwork is bright and abstract. Known as one of the finest resorts in the world, this project has been featured in Architectural Digest and numerous other publications.
