Historic Deco Digs Nestled in the University District
Here at Graduate, we believe life is a timeless journey filled with memory making stops, extraordinary rites of passage and all of the courageous leaps of faith that get you where you’re going. Welcome to Graduate Seattle—where your intellectual curiosity meets your favorite place to stay.
Our historic 1930s art deco digs, are just a 10-minute walk to The Quad, right in the University District—making us Husky headquarters for meet-ups and meetings and U-Dub central for Purple Reign days or a Neptune Theater pre-show hang.
Purple Pride runs deep in our library lobby, inviting all Dawgs past and present. Over 36 feet of plaidly clad sofas ease up to a communal coffee table warmly perched fireside. An installation of seashell mobiles dances above our Pacific Northwest perch, an amped up wall install invites musical conversation and jewel toned rooms wink at our storied past. Take in a top down view of The Sound and mountainous backdrop from our rooftop bar, serving delicious views, light bites and decadent drinkage.
“16 Best Hotels in Seattle: The Graduate is located minutes from the University of Washington campus, and features a stunning view that the rooftop bar takes full advantage of. ”
“Built in the 1930s, this art deco oasis is a destination unto itself, and the decor is the stuff of interior design dreams.”
