A Desert Retreat in Wildcat Country
Rekindle the spirit of your alma mater at the smartest place to stay in town. Nestled in the heart of campus, Graduate Tucson is close to everywhere Wildcats want to be, and just a short trip from downtown and historic Fourth Avenue.
Guest rooms celebrate the natural flora and fauna of the region with pops of color against neutral backdrops. Accents of natural materials such as leather, wood and textiles blend together to create a modern space that’s distinctly Southwest.
In the lobby, a vibrant desert sunset scene illuminates the front desk, while giant cacti and woven textiles make the bright, open interior about more than the natural sunlight. While you’re here, relax at the terrazo communal table and make yourself at home at Poindexter, our onsite café. Or head to the rooftop for a drink or a swim.
So whether you’re in town rallying for a Wildcats win, exploring campus or soaking up the Southwestern sun, we’re here to make your stay memorable. Our warm, friendly and whip-smart staff are happy to provide you recommendations around Tucson so you’ll feel like a local even if it’s your first time in town.
