Sweetwater Branch Inn

Our mission here is go above and beyond what
other chain hotels in town have to offer you.

Our rooms are more personalized,
our gardens and grounds are gorgeous, and
you’ll love our modern amenities and packages -
everything you’d find in a chain and more!

Our 2 beautiful Victorian homes were built in the
late 1800’s. The Holbrook family began
restoring them in 1978, and Cornelia Holbrook
opened them to the public in 1993.

Sweetwater now features 20 different
rooms, suites, and cottages, with our
lush Florida gardens complete with babbling
fountains, romantic gazebo and a regal colonnade.
We’re so excited to announce our brand new
30 foot in-ground heated salt pool and spa!

Every reservation includes a complimentary
evening wine & cheese hour as well as a
delicious full homemade breakfast each morning.

So let us impress you.
We’d love to be your home-away-from-home.

Sweetwater’s location is perfect.
We’re right on University Avenue
in historic Downtown Gainesville;
mere blocks from the University of Florida,
Shands Hospital and Academic Health Center,
and exciting downtown nightlife!
