Main Street’s Major Charmer Just Across from The Grounds
Welcome to Graduate Charlottesville — where your intellectual curiosity meets your favorite place to stay.
We’re located in the center of it all, across the street from the University of Virginia Grounds and steps away from The Rotunda and The Lawn. We proudly sit on the historic Main Street, overlooking The Corner, a charming downtown stretch of restored and renovated restaurants, galleries and a slew of fun shops and stops. Quite simply, it’s the smartest place to stay in town!
Come on by and enjoy our cafe, a “trad and true” mix of rich refined greens, soft pinksand handsome parquet with just the right modern finishes to make it all ours. Sip an espresso in Poindexter Coffee, get your consummate collegiate on in the second floor game room, or head up to Trophy Room for rooftop views and craft cocktails. We’re the perfect spot for a tour of the Grounds, company meet up, or a place to pop by for Ping-Pong, Foosball and a stash of locally crafted brews and bites.
So, whether you’re in town rallying for a Cavaliers game at Scott Stadium, dropping by for a show at The Paramount or Jefferson Theater, or here for a meeting, we’re here to make it memorable. Our warm, friendly and whip smart staff (#humblebrag) can guide you to and around Charlottesville’s finest – so that you feel like a local at home again, even if it’s your first time in town.
Our rooms are ready for a night like you’ve never had before. Where little moments of surprise and discovery will meet you down every corridor and around each corner. This is Graduate — be ready to be inspired.

“The Graduate Hotels seamlessly blend the nostalgia associated with college, the convenience of a central location, and really great design.”

“Graduate is the finest example yet of that community-led, history-inspired atmosphere that AJ Capital Partners is trying to achieve.”

“[Graduate Hotels are] hyper local on each one of the assets and find out the history, the heritage and the traditions that make these towns really special and celebrate that.”
