[1]Managing Brokers Rediscover Sarasota’s Beau Ciel (French for “Beautiful Sky”).
The skies were cloudy, but the evening was beautiful as Barbara Mei, Broker-Associate with Surfside Properties, hosted a lavish soirée at the Beau Ciel luxury condominium. More than 70 guests braved the pouring rain to learn about the premier amenities at the 17-story high rise, which offers breathtaking views of the downtown Sarasota waterfront.
[1]The rain brought the party indoors and provided a more intimate evening for the real estate brokers, residents and other guests, who enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres catered by the adjacent Hyatt Regency Sarasota, and the heavenly sounds of harpist Bonnie Caplan. The building’s architect, Chuck Jones, spoke about the building’s concept and architectural styling. Steve Queior, president of the Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce, also took the podium, as did Mark Becker, General Manager of the Hyatt Regency Sarasota, who introduced new room service and Taste of Summer menus available to condominium residents, and a catering menu designed specifically for Beau Ciel.
An architecturally significant building, Beau Ciel offers hotel amenities without feeling like a hotel, said Mei. It is one of only half a dozen luxury condominiums on the Sarasota mainland with 24-hour concierge service and one of two with hotel amenities, through a special arrangement with the Hyatt Regency Sarasota, including full use of hotel facilities, discounts on hotel rooms and discounts on boat slips.
