Circus-inspired boutique hotel opens in Sarasota’s St. Armands District (RENDERINGS)

Cirque St. Armands Beachside, a new boutique hotel inspired by Sarasota’s circus heritage, has officially opened on Florida’s west coast.

The hotel is part of the Opal Collection, which now includes 28 properties, 22 of which are in Florida.

Guests of Cirque can access a private 300-foot stretch of Lido Beach through its sister property, Lido Beach Resort, and access a pool with private cabanas, a fitness center and three dining venues: the Ringside restaurant, the Midway lobby lounge and the Ringmaster pool bar.
