M o re Reasons than Ever to Vi s i t
Sarasota
Besides exquisite beaches, here are just a
few of the seasonal activities that make
Sarasota so special.
Hotel Indigo features 95 guest rooms and
suites, along with a Phitness Center and
Phi, a tapas and wine bar, which is a great
place to meet and mingle. In talking to
other guests, I discovered that many of
them have returned to Hotel Indigo a
number of times. As I grabbed a steaming
cup of java in the Golden Bean Café and
checked my email in the Business Center,
I could see why!
Bringing the Beach -- Inside!
With its calming colors and exciting
imagery, the whole environment invites
guests to "curl up" in comfort. What
struck me as I entered my guest room was
the natural beauty of the signature murals,
hardwood flooring and indulgent plush
bedding. The entire hotel brings the elements of the outdoors -- in, like the spainspired showers with Oxygenic shower
head, teak bench and Aveda spa amenities.
Situated in the downtown district, Hotel
Indigo is strolling distance to corporate
Spring Training in Full Swing
If you love baseball, come see where it all
starts. From February - March, Ed Smith
Stadium is home of the Cincinnati Red's
spring training camp. And unlike the regular baseball season, you'll find it easy to
collect autographs and see your favorite
players. The action on the field is major
league, but the atmosphere is more like
home town America. What's also fun is
seeing the players out about town at night.
All Under the Big Top
Known as the "Circus Capital of the
World," Sarasota brings its own special
brand of performing arts to town,
February 1st - 24th. Circus Sarasota is a
one-ring, five star international show, an
unparalleled all star line up of thrilling
aerial acts, illusionists, equestrians, jugglers and more. Adults as well as kids will
be enthralled. For more information, visit
www.circussarasota.org.
