Graduate Hotels opened its first two properties in 2014 in Tempe, Arizona, and Athens, Georgia, and since then, the boutique hotel chain known for its proximity to centers of higher learning has expanded to six properties across the U.S., and it continues to grow.
Two years from now, a new Graduate Hotel will open on New York City’s Roosevelt Island, on the same site where the Cornell Tech campus from Cornell University is being built. It will be the only hotel on the entire island, and is slated to have 196 rooms.
