The story of Mira Mar Sarasota began in 1922 as a beacon of elegance and innovation along our city’s growing waterfront. Anchored by the iconic Mira Mar Hotel — Sarasota’s first major downtown hotel and a hub of social and cultural life in the 1920s — it quickly became a symbol of the city’s aspirations and potential. Since then, it has witnessed the evolution of Sarasota from a quiet coastal gem to a world-class destination, while remaining a cherished part of its architectural and cultural fabric. Today, that story continues, blending its storied past with a visionary future that will honor its legacy and write the next chapter in its remarkable history.
