There are many great reasons to visit Gainesville. Maybe you’re coming up to see family and friends or dropping off (or picking up) a new student to the University of Florida (Go Gators!). Whatever the reason, finding a comfortable place to stay is a must.
This article discusses the two best options for anyone who wants to be near shopping, excellent dining, and endless entertainment during their visit to Gainesville. The two options we will be discussing are the fabulous boutique hotel, Hotel Indigo as well as the relaxing Hōm Hotel & Suites. Both of these great hotels feature comfortable accommodations and convenient access to the attractions of Celebration Pointe, as well as everything Gainesville has to offer.
Your Hōm away from home
Completely remodeled within the last few years, Hōm is an excellent hotel choice at Celebration Pointe. With a modern, minimalist-inspired design and a number of great amenities, it makes for an ideal place to stay. It is conveniently located right off Archer and I-75 and just 3 miles from the University of Florida. While it’s close to campus and downtown, Hōm is just far enough away from the hustle and bustle, meaning you’ll be able to relax and rest.
Guests have the opportunity to enjoy a gourmet breakfast and take a dip in the pool before heading out. Not only does Hōm have incredible amenities, it’s very close to the amazing shops, restaurants, and entertainment found at Celebration Pointe. After a day of fun or business in Gainesville, guests can grab a nightcap at the Foyer bar located inside the lobby of Hōm Hotel & Suites. When the night comes to an end, guests of Hōm are treated to a spacious modern room and a comfortable bed.
This pet-friendly hotel features boutique-style guest rooms with spa-like bathrooms, a 24-hour fitness center, and an outdoor pool and patio that will leave you refreshed and invigorated for your Gainesville adventures.
Every room features refrigerators, to keep those leftovers from one of our Celebration Pointe restaurants nice and cold, and flat-screen televisions in case you want to veg-out in your room. And with an ultra-comfy pillowtop bed, who could blame you?
Whether you’re hungry or thirsty (or both), feel free to swing by Gather Social Lounge located on the first floor right off the lobby. There you’ll enjoy a scrumptious meal and some of the best cocktails in town. If you’re short on time, there is also a snack shop to grab some food or drink.
Hotel Indigo at Celebration Pointe, serves as a flagship location, offering guests what they’ve come to expect from this world-leading hospitality brand. You can feel IHG’s dedication to an amazing hotel experience at Hotel Indigo, and have several touches specific to Gainesville, like the gator sculpture that greets you at the entrance.
Featuring 140 “best-in-class” rooms, this boutique hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Celebration Pointe. With convenient access to all of the entertainment, shopping, and dining that our community has to offer.
Check out what this guest from Ottawa recently had to say about their stay:
“The hotel was very modern and well decorated. The bed was comfortable, sleep was fantastic. Would love to stay there again. Will definitely recommend it to others!”
They went on to cite additional praise for room cleanliness, location, quality of amenities, and the great service received at the bar.
When you feel the urge to bask in the warm Florida sun, you have two amazing pool options. Both Hōm and Hotel Indigo offer some of the most fun and relaxing places to play or lounge in Gainesville. Kids and adults who love the water, swimming, and hanging by the pool will find themselves at home at either location.
So there you have it. Two awesome choices to relax and recharge before you explore Gainesville. Of course, if that includes doing a little shopping or sitting down to an excellent meal, you won’t have to go very far. We have it all, from free concerts to the best movie theater in town, Regal Cinemas Celebration Pointe. When planning your next visit, make sure to check out Hōm Hotel & Suites or Hotel Indigo.
