Hotel ELEO at The University of Florida lies adjacent to the renowned UF Health Shands Hospitals and the larger University campus, but there is more to Gainesville than the University of Florida.

Steeped in Southern comfort and natural beauty, Gainesville is home to some of the most exquisite experiences the sunshine state has to offer: nature paths, museums, eco-tours, craft breweries and fine dining. Let us not forget The Swamp, the den to Gator Nation and the birthplace of Gatorade. With so much to offer, Gainesville has something for everyone.
