Graduate by Hilton Highlights

Rooted in Storytelling

Storytelling is at the heart of Graduate, especially when it comes to design. We spend time talking to locals, students and alumni, diving deep into each town’s campus traditions and local legends. Armed with this info, we create hyper-local spaces that celebrate the unique spirit and history of the towns they call home, delighting guests in fun and unexpected ways.

Community Centric

Each Graduate by Hilton hotel is a living room of its community, a gathering place that reflects its hometown and fosters connection within the hotel and beyond. Through curated partnerships, inspired food and beverage offerings, special events and unique experiences, we make visitors feel like locals, while also welcoming in students and residents.

“Newstalgic” Stay

Graduate hotels are so much more than a place for guests to rest their heads; they’re one-of-a-kind experiences that immerse travelers in the carefree spirit of their college days. It’s a feeling we like to call “newstalgia” — the experience of making new memories that feel as good as the old ones. Each hotel welcomes guests in with nostalgic nods to days gone by, channeling the undeniable energy and optimism of university towns.
