Holiday Inn Gainesville University Ctr

Directly across the street from the University of Florida in the heart of Gainesville. Steps from Ben Hill Griffin Stadium (The Swamp), the Harn Museum of Art and the Florida Museum of Natural History, with easy access to downtown shops, Publix, Starbucks, Chick-fil-A and Gainesville Regional Airport. Ideal if you want a true game-day hotel or a convenient base for campus visits.

This University Center hotel has 167 air-conditioned rooms with refrigerators, mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs and rainfall showerheads. Rooms also offer desks, in-room coffee makers and safes — touchpoints for both comfort and convenience. Expect simple, modern décor and practical layouts that work for students, families and sports fans alike.

Unwind on Gainesville’s rooftop pool deck or hit the 24-hour fitness center. On-site bar and restaurant options, a business center, 24-hour reception and wireless internet make stays easy. Wake up to campus views and game-day buzz just outside the door.

Free Wi‑Fi throughout the property, a business center and over 4,000 sq. ft. of conference and event space. The lobby lounge includes tables with outlets for charging and casual work.

Two on-site spots keep things simple: Bistro 45 Breakfast Café serves cooked-to-order breakfast daily (weekday and weekend hours apply), and Piesanos Pints and Pies offers Italian favorites, pizza and a lively bar with dozens of taps. Limited room service is also available.
