What is the name of the inn opened by Lorelai and Sookie?

Lorelai and Sookie open the Dragonfly Inn. The inn becomes the major professional achievement of their friendship and serves as a central setting during the later seasons of Gilmore Girls.

Before opening the Dragonfly, Lorelai manages the Independence Inn, where Sookie works as chef and Mia owns the property. Lorelai and Sookie eventually pursue their own business, overcoming financial and renovation challenges to restore the Dragonfly and launch it as a successful lodging establishment.

The Dragonfly name is distinct from the Independence Inn. The earlier inn is where Lorelai develops her hospitality career, while the Dragonfly represents her long-term dream of owning and operating an inn. Michel Gerard also joins the Dragonfly staff after working at the Independence Inn.
