Hilton Adds Graduate Hotels to Its Portfolio - AFAR

"Graduate Hotels, which opened its first two locations in Athens, Georgia, and Tempe, Arizona, in 2014, is known for subtly weaving the history, culture, and traditions of the local college or university into the design details of each hotel. The newest Graduate Hotel, Graduate Princeton, opens in spring 2024. Graduate Nashville features a lobby with custom black-and-gold star-printed rugs, a nod to Vanderbilt University’s school colors, and 160 watercolor paintings of leaves representing campus tree types. Graduate Chapel Hill’s reception desk resembles a scoreboard, recalling Michael Jordan's game-winning shot in the 1982 NCAA basketball championship." - Bailey Berg
