About Cirque St. Armands Beachside

Beautifully located just across the street from the white sands of Lido Beach Cirque St Armands Beachside is the perfect destination to experience the natural beauty and culture of the Florida Gulf Coast. Our Sarasota hotel invites you to take a step back into the extensive circus culture of our fine city. The Ringlings made Sarasota their winter home and we invite you to enjoy some of the beauty that they did through the multi-hued sunsets that paint our sky nightly to the tropical flora that is a staple of the area. We are the closest hotel to the shops and dining of world-renowned St Armands Circle accessible by a short walk or by our on-demand shuttle. Our Sarasota Luxury Lido Beach Hotel between the laid back atmosphere of Siesta Key and the tropical oppulance of Longboat Key invites you to kick back relax and enjoy. Enjoy a refreshing dip in our year-round heated pool with views of the beach. Our 135 spacious guest rooms and suites are designed with island vibes in mind - complete with Florida inspired decor - flat screen tvs and wireless internet access. Dine with us in our elevated restaurant or for light bites at our pool-side bar. On-site amenities also include a fitness center and on-demand shuttle service to St Armands Circle.

    The location is great. The hotel is extremely clean, no a speck of dust. Everything is in perfect repair. The pictures on line do not do it justice. One of the nicest hotels I have stayed in

    Excellent experience. Great Hotel

    I gave this hotel 3 stars for some specific reasons that might not be important to other travelers. The location of the hotel is excellent, right across a small street from one my favorite beaches in Florida, and that means a lot since I am 65 and have lived in Florida most of my life and truly enjoy beaches. This is an Opal hotel of which we have stayed in several and enjoy the brand, upscale and well designed, but there are some problems. When I stay at a nice resort I like a Porte Cochere, valet, and bellmen. If it was raining you would be soaked. The rooms are small but nice, great views either side. There was not a single full length mirror in the room, just one mirror in the bath and that was it. The restaurant was small but nice and we had a dinner and breakfast there and the food was excellent both times. This could be a very nice hotel with a little more work. Stay at the sister resort, Lido Beach, for true full service.

    Great service at the front desk with quick check in. I called the day ahead to ask questions about parking and had my call immediately answered by a person and an answered provided immediately. We had a great experience at breakfast, quality, tasty food with great service.

    Terrific experience top-to-bottom. Toni at front desk answered phone when I called days prior to our arrival and she was at the desk when we arrived and was really engaging and helpful throughout our entire stay. Shuttle service between St Armand's for shopping and dining- and Lido Beach Resort for beach experience was unexpected, very convenient and drivers were great. We will be back!

    First Class establishment! Gorgeous hotel with a high end circus theme. Excellent facilities, pristine pool, delicious food and drinks, and above superior staff! The beach across the street was beautiful as well as the beach at Cirque's sister hotel, The Lido. We couldn't be more pleased with our recent week long stay. 100% would recommend and will definitely return!

    Cirque hotel has a sister hotel less than a mile walking distance. They do offer a shuttle that can take you back and forth. The sister hotel has a tiki bar by the pool which offers food as well. They have a private beach with chairs and towels and a small fee for umbrella usage. Cirque is clean and they have a lovely staff.
