Southwest Style with a Desert Nod
Welcome to Graduate Tempe – where your intellectual curiosity meets your favorite place to stay.
You’ll find us serendipitously situated across the street from Sun Devil central—the famed Arizona State University. We are just a short walk to all of the bustling Mill Avenue stops and shops, as well as nearby Tempe Town Lake and ASU Gammage theater.
So, whether you’re dropping in for a bite, showing off the Alma Mater or have a to-do here in town, we’re here to make it memorable. Our warm, friendly and whip smart staff can guide you to and around Tempe’s finest, so that you feel like a local, at home again even if it’s your first time here.
Our hotel 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 – get ready to be inspired.
“[Graduate Hotels are] Quirky properties offering well-designed oases in college towns.”
“Great for baseball fans… It’s such a great location...”
“[The Normal Diner] has such a killer vibe.”
“There are 141 rooms, all with patios facing either the campus or the neighborhood (for a quieter stay), and interior design that’s bold and colorful.”
Complimentary Bike Rentals
Explore Tempe at your own pace on two wheels. Complimentary bikes are available to rent through our front desk based on availability.
Outdoor Pool
Cool off by making a splash in our plunge pool or catch some rays and sip on margs atop our stripey lounge chairs. Our outdoor pool deck and hot tub are both open year-round.
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.
24-Hour Fitness Center
Get that heart rate up or pump iron whenever you please in our 24-hour fitness center, or swim laps in our outdoor pool. Want to work out like you did in the glory days? We have reciprocity with the ASU gym, only a short walk down the street. Ask our front desk for details.
Shuttle Service
We always think a town is best explored by bike or on foot, but if your destination is a little further than you’d prefer to hoof it, we’re happy to give you a lift in our complimentary shuttle. Shuttle service is also available to pick you up and drop you off from the Phoenix airport*.
Any guest who needs transportation assistance with disabilities will be able to schedule their transportation with the front desk.
*Based on availability. Please call our front desk upon arrival.
