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.
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.
