Graduate Hotel Locations: Where to Stay in College Towns
These days, youโll find Graduate Hotel locations in many collegiate places. That is, it is a relatively new chain of hotels that target college towns. Thus their name.
Right now, there are more than three dozen locations, primarily in the United States. However, there are also Graduate Hotels in the United Kingdom.
Also, I just updated this article to reflect two additional Graduate Hotel locations that will be opening soon in college towns. Finally, the big news: Hilton acquired Graduate Hotels in Spring 2024. Now the chain is known as Graduate by Hilton.

How I learned about Graduate Hotels

So, how did I learn about this unique chain of hotels? When I started writing my roundups of hotels near colleges with Peloton bikes. You see, the majority of these hotels have Peloton bikes in the hotel gym. However, not all do. Given the news about the Hilton acquisition and Pelotons, it all makes sense. You may recall a few years ago that Hilton promised to put Peloton bikes in all of its hotels within a yearโs time. Since then, they seem to have kept that promise.
What makes these hotels special
Each location is decorated to reflect the college it is located near. Or at least the town in which it is situated. For example, the Graduate Hotel Eugene is located close to the University of Oregon. So, donโt be surprised if you see the Oregon Duck worked into the hotel motifs.
Also, with the schoolโs colors green and yellow, youโll see lots of decor in those hues.
Itโs the same with the Graduate Hotel in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Except in this instance youโll find a makeshift basketball court woven into the lobby carpet to celebrate the UNC Tar Heels. In case you didnโt know, basketball is a big deal here, as it is in many other college towns.
Finally, if you visit the Graduate Hotel in Ann Arbor, Michigan, youโll see maize and blue everywhere. Also, it helps that the property is literally on the edge of the University of Michigan campus. Usually, youโll see those college colors made into a unique plaid pattern.
We tried to stay at the Graduate Hotel when we visited Ann Arbor in the summer to attend Art Fair. Well, as they say, there was no room at that inn so we ended up staying at another Hilton property in town, near North Campus.

Location in the United States
As of this writing (2024), there are 35 Graduate Hotel locations in the United States and the United Kingdom open. Many of these are hotels with Peloton bikes. For parents who want to visit their children attending school in one of these towns, the Graduate Hotel properties are a great place to stay.
Youโll find these uniquely collegiate hotels in the following states. Then, after that list, Iโll give you an alphabetical run down of the specific locations with Graduate Hotels.
