Highly recommended this gem of a property. Beautiful modern art deco circus theme decor with historical photography. This Opal luxury is brand new. The front reception staff and restaurant staff were so helpful and friendly. They really care about sustainability and provide water bottle fill up stations on every floor to reduce plastic. Great access to the beach and walkable in 5 minutes to Armand Circle full of boutiques, bars and restaurants. There is a free shuttle that takes you to the sister Lido Beach resort if you want a private beach or to go downtown. I loved that included in my daily resort fee I had parking on site. Highly recommend this little slice of paradise.

The property was wonderful except for the pool. The photos on the website are an AI rendering if what it was supposed to look like, but the city shut it down (according to the pool bartender). Also, the beach adjacent to the hotel is a public beach, so chairs / umbrellas aren’t available to rent on site. The only option is to bring your own, or go down to the Lido Beach Resort to use their chairs. Not a huge deal, as we enjoyed the beach being much less populated vs the private one, but definitely something we wish we would have known prior.

Property has been nicely refurbished. We enjoyed our stay. Only problem was our room didn’t get serviced every day ({even though they told us we would have daily service) and we had to call a couple of times to get fresh towels, trash taken out and beds made. We stayed there 6 days. But we would definitely stay there again. Very close to beach and walkable to St Armand’s Circle

My husband and I and our daughter drove in from Miami to celebrate her 15th birthday. She wanted to tour Ringling Art College nearby and this circus themed hotel was perfect! We fell in love with the decor, it was done beautifully. We also really enjoyed the boutique vibe - nostalgic, swanky but low key. And the food was amazing!! We’re already planning to come back later this year.
