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 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.”

Any guest who needs transportation assistance with disabilities will be able to schedule their transportation with the front desk.
