Graduate Hotels have announced plans for their next Graduate Auburn hotel. The ground-up hotel is currently under construction and is expected to open in 2024.
Located across the street from the Auburn University campus in Auburn, Ala., the five-story Graduate Auburn will feature 177 rooms, two dining venues including a rooftop bar and restaurant, on-site parking and over 10,000 square feet of event space.
Designed by the in-house design team of Graduate Hotels, the hotel’s décor will be inspired by the traditions and history of Auburn University.
“Auburn is such a quintessential college town and deeply rooted in the types of stories and traditions that inspire the Graduate Hotels brand each and every day,” said Ben Weprin, Graduate Hotels CEO and founder. “It’s an honor to finally be embarking upon a project located steps from this incredible campus and to have the opportunity to bring life to the storied Auburn experience throughout the design on-property. We can’t wait to finish this project and welcome in students, the neighboring community and alums from near and far.”
Graduate Hotels is owned by Nashville-based Adventurous Journeys Capital Partners, a real estate developer, owner and operator.
Founded by Weprin in 2014, the hotel chain currently has 33 opened properties across the U.S. and the U.K. The company has two more hotels under development in Dallas and Princeton, N.J.
In the U.S., the collection of Graduate Hotels is located in university-anchored cities. Every property pays homage to the local community’s heritage while also providing an extended retreat to these locations.
