Gillespie Park Hotel & Travel Guide

Gillespie Park is a magnificent destination for those wanting to get back in touch with nature.

We're sure you won't need much convincing to go see it in Sarasota, as it's an exciting city to see in its own right.

There's a great range of 8 accommodations within 2 miles (3 kilometers) of Gillespie Park, but it's still worthwhile to book ahead. Lots of visitors enjoy The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota, 0.9 miles (1.4 kilometers) away, the Hyatt Regency Sarasota, 0.9 miles (1.4 kilometers) away, and the Hotel Indigo Sarasota, 0.7 miles (1.1 kilometer) away.

Instead of counting luxuriously plush sheep, you'll be thinking about the money you save because you chose to stay at the economically priced Americas Best Value Inn - Sarasota Downtown. As an added bonus, it's just 1 mile (2 kilometers) away!

Live like royalty at one of the several luxurious hotels within easy driving distance. Quality choices would have to be The Resort at Longboat Key Club and Siesta Key Beachside Villas.

To maintain your energy levels for everything on your to-do list, visit Kam's Bubble Tea & Sushi (1813 Fruitville Road, Sarasota). As evening settles in, head over to The Blue Rooster (1525 4th Street, Sarasota), and sample the local brew with new friends.
