"In Sarasota, on the Gulf Coast, a place like the Kompose Boutique Hotel is novel indeed. The rooms dispense entirely with tropical motifs and Art Deco, opting instead for an industrial-chic look, complete with raw concrete and minimalist built-in storage. There’s a pool, a sauna, and a fitness center complete with Peloton bikes, as well as an in-house bar and café, and plentiful flexible workspace; there’s even a podcast studio." - Mark Fedeli
