Fodor's Expert Review Hotel ELEO at the University of Florida

The Hotel ELEO, which opened in 2020 directly across the adjacent Lake Rush from the university's medical center, keeps health and wellness in mind throughout, with a fitness studio that has Peleton bikes and TRX equipment, a yoga platform overlooking the lake, and rooms that are bright thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows. The on-site Covey Kitchen + Cocktails features creative drinks, local brews, and modern-American cuisine from chef Charlie Keller. For a mouthwatering meal, try The Burger, complete with a special sauce. As the property is also just a mile from the Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, it's also a convenient choice for families and prospective students visiting the university.
