Art Ovation Hotel, Autograph Collection
Its art program — a ukulele, sketchbooks and coloring pencils in every room, an Artist's Studio, rotating gallery exhibitions, and live lobby performances. A Marriott Autograph Collection hotel that actually commits to its theme — art everywhere, a rooftop pool bar, and a walkable spot by the theaters and Ringling College. Even non-guests can ride up to the rooftop.

Its art program — a ukulele, sketchbooks and coloring pencils in every room, an Artist's Studio, rotating gallery exhibitions, and live lobby performances.
Every guest room comes with its own ukulele — plus sketchbooks and coloring pencils — part of the hotel's art-everywhere concept.
An art-immersion boutique hotel downtown — rotating galleries in the lobby, an artist's studio you can watch, live music, and a ukulele waiting in your room. Playful and design-forward, not a generic Marriott.
Food: Tzeva, the on-site restaurant, does modern Mediterranean with Israeli influences — the Mediterranean Margarita ($$) is a good opener, and you can book it on OpenTable without staying.
Drink: Ride up to the Perspective Rooftop Pool Bar for the view — open to the public (Sun–Thu to 11pm, Fri–Sat to 1am), reservations on OpenTable.
A design-minded couple or a culture-first weekend who'd take downtown walkability over a beachfront resort — plus anyone chasing a rooftop sunset without booking a room.
Parking is valet-only at $45/night, and a mandatory $28/night destination fee is stacked on the room rate; it's an urban downtown hotel about a mile from the beach, not beachfront (and check-in is 21+).
