When people search for Ritz-Carlton residences, they are often looking for something more meaningful than a luxury condominium. They are searching for a private home that combines architectural distinction, personal service, waterfront beauty and the confidence of one of the world’s most recognized luxury hospitality brands.
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sarasota Bay represents that opportunity in downtown Sarasota. Rising 18 stories along Sarasota Bay within The Quay waterfront district, this limited collection of 78 grand residences and penthouses brings together expansive private homes, exceptional amenities and the legendary service associated with The Ritz-Carlton.
A Ritz-Carlton Private Residence is a privately owned luxury home operating under one of the world’s most respected hospitality brands. These are not hotel rooms or resort accommodations. They are condominium residences designed for private ownership, supported by residential services and amenities created exclusively for homeowners and their guests.
At The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sarasota Bay, that distinction is important. The experience is residential first. Owners enjoy the comfort, privacy and scale of a personal home, along with the elevated service standards associated with The Ritz-Carlton.
For many buyers, this combination is what separates a branded residence from a traditional luxury condominium. It offers the independence of homeownership with attentive service, professional management and a residential lifestyle designed around privacy and ease.

The collection includes grand residences and penthouses. Buyers interested in the upper levels can learn more about luxury penthouses on Sarasota Bay, including their expansive floor plans, outdoor living areas and panoramic views.

The Harbor Club serves as a private extension of each residence, offering approximately 20,000 square feet of amenities reserved exclusively for homeowners.
Designed around residential life rather than a hotel environment, The Harbor Club provides places to gather, exercise, dine, relax and entertain without leaving home.
