OUR STORY

Duane%2Band%2BCherie.jpg
 

Cherie Reneau and Duane Sturm’s Élan Guest Suites was envisioned, created, and finally made available to guests in the spring of 2006.

Built in the Italianate design of historic Jacksonville’s 1860’s archectecture, the business name was inspired by the French word élan, which when translated can mean flair, elegance, grace or panache!

Gabriel Mark Lipper’s original paintings enhance the second story guest suites and foyer. Cherie’s intuitive decor and placement ensure that guests will enjoy a restful, inspired and unique experience. Duane’s attention to detail and flawless upkeep of the environment make all of our visitors feel pampered and valued.

The boutique hotel is conveniently located in Jacksonville’s Historic Core. Upon arrival, you will be welcomed warmly by Cherie or Duane, introduced to your suite’s ammenities and guarenteed privacy during your stay at Élan.
