The Ritz-Carlton in Sarasota & Lido Key : Waterfront Condos for Sale

As an established international brand known for upscale living and the best in entertainment, Ritz-Carlton occupies a special place in the history of Sarasota real estate. in the 1920s, when legendary circus magnate John Ringling wanted to transform Sarasota into a coastal resort town, Ritz-Carlton was among the first lifestyle brands he had in mind.

The Ritz-Carlton presence in Sarasota consists of three structures: two Mediterranean-style waterfront towers in the mainland and another one on the island of Lido Key. The two towers in front of Sarasota Bay are part of a hotel and condominium complex; the Lido Key property is strictly residential. Altogether, there are over 200 Ritz-Carlton, but only a handful of them come on the market at any given time.

Even though the condo units are usually priced between $2.5 and $7.7 million, they tend to sell reasonably fast, and there are many reasons that explain this trend. First of all, you will not find a more opulent lifestyle experience anywhere else in Southwest Florida; once you become a Ritz-Carlton homeowner, you have access to all the amenities this brand is known for, including a movie theater with first-run Hollywood releases, holistic sauna rooms, private beach, five-star restaurants on premise, concierge service, private lounges, state-of-the-art fitness centers, majestic swimming pools, golf course membership, and more.
