The Golden Locale: Your Only On-Campus Quarters
Welcome to Graduate Minneapolis — where your intellectual curiosity meets your favorite place to stay.
Graduate Minneapolis is home team central for golden get-togethers, nestled in the heart of campus between Coffman Memorial Union and a stone throw from the Gopher’s stadium.
Our lush lake house landscape is dotted in forest green, woodland toile, and Prince-ly details of custom plum paisley and a little Corvette red to bring you home. From meetings in town to campus meetups, the lobby is lounge-central for student hang time or some serious air hockey tournaments. Roving food carts serving local flavor (‘sota stuffed burritos, hand crafted hot cocoas and all-star spirits) drift amid the cozy communal tables, dramatic fireplace and woodsy backdrop.
“The Graduate Hotels seamlessly blend the nostalgia associated with college, the convenience of a central location, and really great design.”
“One of ‘The Most Innovative Companies of 2016’ in Travel for building the Graduate, a hotel brand capturing that cool college-town vibe.”
“Alumni can relive their glory days in a college town hotel that’s done its homework on the local scene.”
So whether you’re in town for a meeting or meet up or cheering for the Maroon and Gold, we’re here to make it memorable. Our warm, friendly and whip smart staff (#humblebrag) can guide you in and around Minneapolis— 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.

Work Up a Sweat
Lace up your sneaks to get that heart rate up or pump iron anytime you please in our 24-hour fitness center located on the first floor.
Pet Friendly
We love furry friends probably a little more than the next guy and would never dare ask you leave them at home during your travels. In fact, when you bring your four-legged companion along for the ride, they stay for free and will enjoy a pup perk* compliments of our pals at BarkBox.
*We’ll outfit your room with a bowl and blanket for your pup to enjoy during their stay. If you wish to take either item home with you, they are available for purchase through our front desk. BarkBoxes can also be added to your reservation for a small fee or purchased upon arrival at the front desk.
