Graduate Bloomington

Hoosier Hangout Right On Kirkwood Avenue

Here at Graduate, we believe life is a timeless journey filled with memory-making stops, extraordinary rites of passage and all the courageous leaps of faith that get you where you’re going. Welcome to Graduate Bloomington—where your intellectual curiosity meets your favorite place to stay.

Prominently located on Kirkwood Avenue, our digs are just steps from IU’s iconic Sample Gates and next door to all the shops and eats on historic Courthouse Square. We’re Hoosier headquarters for meetups (Lotus Festival, anyone?) and meetings, and Little 500 central for Quals, Cutters and pros alike. #BYOBIKE

Our lobby invites conversation with a wink and nod to B-town’s famously fictitious b-ball team— “Welcome To Indiana Basketball”! The lexicon is lit by a cluster of game winning globes dangling amidst an artful install of hoops and commissioned local works. The puzzling major (enigmatolgy for the win?) and checkered past of IU alum Will Shortz, has influenced our crossword-clad floors. The vintage bleachers, over stuffed sofas and court-long tables, play host to a whole lotta hanging out with a warm convo on tap.

So whether you’re in town rallying for a cream and crimson win, a walk along the B-Line or a Bus-Chum pre-show hang, we’re here to make it memorable. Our warm, friendly and whip smart staff (#humblebrag) can guide you to and around Bloomington’s finest—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.

Indiana, Our Indiana, We’re All For You!
