DeMarcay Hotel

Sarasota · 1984 · Recognized for Mission Style

What you'll hear here: about a minute of narration about DeMarcay Hotel, and how it fits Sarasota, written to be listened to on the spot rather than read at home.

Mission Style lines shape the DeMarcay Hotel at 27 South Palm Avenue in Sarasota, Florida. This historic hotel reads like a tidy example of Mission Style architecture: a two-story, rectangular-plan building whose simple massing and confident lines still anchor this corner of the city. Imagine guests pausing beneath those Mission Style eaves; the building carries that same presence and is a recognized piece of our shared history.

On March 22, 1984, the DeMarcay was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, a formal nod to the value of this structure and its design. Take a moment to study the way the two stories step across the street, how the rectangular plan gives the whole a clear, architectural rhythm, and how the Mission Style treatment shapes the silhouette against the Sarasota sky. As you stand here at 27 South Palm Avenue, let the hotel's proportions and its registered status guide your appreciation of the place.

Notice the Mission Style lines stepping across two stories, a silhouette registered nationally since 1984 along South Palm Avenue.
