Graduate Hotels announced plans for the forthcoming Graduate Auburn hotel. The ground-up, new construction hotel is currently under development and expected to launch in 2024. Graduate Auburn will offer 177-keys, five stories, two food and beverage outlets including a rooftop bar and restaurant, on-site parking and more than 10,000 square feet of meeting and event space. Located on 202 W Magnolia Avenue, Graduate Auburn will be positioned across the street from the Auburn University campus.
"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."
Created for travelers who seek memory-making journeys, Graduate Hotels is a thoughtfully crafted collection of hotels that reside in dynamic university-anchored cities across the country. Each property celebrates and commemorates the optimistic energy of its community, while offering an extended retreat to places that often play host to the best days of our lives.
Designed by the Graduate Hotels in-house design team, decor will take inspiration from the history and traditions synonymous with the university. From loud statements to more subtle nods, the hotel's design will tell the stories of the destination in a uniquely Graduate fashion.
Graduate Hotels was founded in 2014 by CEO and Founder Ben Weprin. There are currently 33 open and operating Graduate Hotels properties throughout the U.S. and U.K., with two additional hotels under development in Dallas, Texas and Princeton, New Jersey.
