Legacy Hotel at IMG Academy
Legacy Hotel sits steps from IMG Academy's world-class facilities—a sprawling sports complex that hosted the 2020 WNBA season. The hotel itself is modern and clean with 150 rooms, a heated pool, a fitness center, and food designed around performance nutrition. It's genuinely useful if you're visiting someone training here, or if you want to stay somewhere with actual infrastructure instead of a generic chain. The location also puts you 10 minutes from Anna Maria Island beaches and near Sarasota-Bradenton airport.
During off-season at IMG Academy (late spring or early fall) when the campus is less crowded but the hotel is still operating at full service. Avoid major tournament weekends when rooms book solid and the campus buzzes with competitive energy.
The Links at Legacy—the turf putting green on the lawn—is a genuinely useful way to kill time between meals or meetings without leaving the property. It's not a gimmick; it's built for the people staying here.
