Using hi-tech, yet simple-to-use navigation tools, MotionVR allows prospective guests to experience all aspects of the hotel like never before. From walking-through different overnight room options, to viewing different amenities including the fitness room and outdoor whirlpools, and even going inside and outside to walk-through the main entrance and lobby, MotionVR provides visitors with a “real” perspective of what they would actually see if personally visiting the Hotel Indigo Sarasota.

“We are thrilled to offer prospective guests of the Hotel Indigo Sarasota this exciting new technology which is the most advanced way to experience our exclusive, upscale hotel online,” said Richard E. Goodrum, Senior Vice President, Wesley Hotels & Resorts. “The enhanced website enables guests and prospective visitors to get a much better sense of our unique offerings and amenities, without ever leaving the comfort of their home, or office.”
