The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota bridges the worlds of white-sand beaches, culture and dynamic dining with unparalleled luxury and experiences. Guests can enjoy exclusive access to The Beach Club on Lido Key, an onsite spa, championship golf, spacious suites and guestrooms and 60,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space. Bilkey Llinas Design worked together with Couristan’s design team to furbish the Club Lounge and Presidential Suites of this AAA Four Diamond Gulf Coast destination. Using our custom Hand-Tufted Rugs program, the designs were influenced by the sea and shore life, to work with the décor that reflects Selby Botanical Gardens. The Public Spaces, Ballroom and Meeting Spaces all received reimagination reveals with Couristan’s woven Axminster carpets setting the foundation; each featuring a background of star constellations reflecting in an abstract pattern that feels like the night sky, harkening to days when Sarasota sailors navigated their route home by reading the star patterns.
