"Like all the other Graduate hotels, the Graduate Cincinnati is roughly one part tried-and-true boutique-hotel formula and one part local color. Here, on the campus itself, the hotel takes its inspiration not just from the University of Cincinnati but from the whole city’s history, paying tribute to its setting with visual references to Bearcats athletics and Reds baseball, the products of the old Kenner toy factory, and Cincinnati natives Bootsy Collins and Roy Rogers." - Tablet Hotels
