From Wednesday, May 25, at 12 p.m. Eastern Time through Thursday, May 26, at 6 p.m. Eastern Time, a limited number of $30 rooms—available at all Graduate Hotel locations—will be on sale for stays through July 31, 2022 at graduatehotels.com/summer-on-sale.
Not familiar with Graduate Hotels? The hotel brand launched in the fall of 2014 with outposts near the University of Georgia in Athens and Arizona State University in Tempe. Now with 32 hotels across college towns in the United States and the United Kingdom, Graduate Hotels is known for its quirky brand of decor and design, pulling inspiration from local artists and prominent figures from the community.
For example, the Graduate Fayetteville nods to the University of Arkansas’s mascot with a knit razorback pig head mounted above every bed, while the Graduate Nashville near Vanderbilt University has a Dolly Parton–themed rooftop bar. At the Graduate Roosevelt Island, located near the Cornell Tech campus, you’ll find details in the rooms like lamp bases decorated with Morse code of the Cornell fight song and a neon light fixture inspired by a science project from a Cornell alum.
