A brand designed for university students and their parents, Graduate Hotels has announced the opening of its 35th property, the Graduate Auburn, AL, in Alabama, with reservations now available for stays beginning in September 2024.
Earlier this month it was announced that Hilton would be acquiring Graduate Hotels for £165 million, with plans to grow its presence to up to 500 sites.
The Graduate Princeton, NJ, property is now accepting reservations – it will open in early June 2024.
Located at 202 W Magnolia Avenue, just steps from Auburn University, this new opening marks the brand’s first property in Alabama and the seventh in Southeastern Conference university markets.
The property will feature 177 guest rooms across five floors, with a design that draws inspiration from the community’s vibrant spirit and culture.
Expect a carved wooden statue of Bo Jackson in the lobby bar, guest room sconces that nod to the Auburn University fight song, and orange and navy blue furnishings that allude to the school colours.
With the opening of Graduate Auburn, AL, the brand continues to expand its presence in the Southeastern US, offering visitors and locals alike a distinctive and memorable stay in the heart of this storied university town.
