Graduate Ann Arbor

Inspired Campus Digs, Old-School Supper Club & Kindred Spirits

Welcome to Graduate Ann Arbor — where your intellectual curiosity meets your favorite place to stay.

Graduate Ann Arbor is ideally located across the street from University of Michigan’s campus and a couple blocks from Nickels Arcade. We’re right at the corner of Huron and State streets amid the bustle of the town’s best restaurants, shops and game day buzz, making Graduate the smartest place to stay in town!

A cozy club feel envelops the hotel lobby where nods to the arts, counterculture and political scene of this famously progressive community speak to its storied history. Hand-painted mosaic patterns that sweep across wide-planked wood floors, handsome millwork, leather clad columns and grand center staircase patch-worked in Persian rugs add a warm, layered look throughout. Traditional library furnishings are recovered for a twist on the classics, while commissioned murals and graffitied manifestos invite discussion and good humor.

Gather some Wolverines for a post-game brew, grab a light bite at our café counter or convene at our 40-foot communal wood table; it’s the perfect hub for conversation and camaraderie.

So whether you’re in town for a meeting or meet up, cheering for the Maize and Blue or enjoying an art fair, we’re here to make it memorable. Our warm, friendly and whip smart staff (#humblebrag) can guide you in and around Ann Arbor — so that you feel like a local, at home again even if it’s your first time in town.

Our 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 — be ready to be inspired.
