Graduate by Hilton, the global hospitality company’s university-anchored hotel brand, announced the opening of Graduate Princeton. Located on historic Nassau Street in the heart of downtown, directly opposite campus, Graduate Princeton offers 180 guest rooms and a signature restaurant, Ye Tavern.
Paying homage to the town’s rich history, architecture, and design, the opening marks the first new hotel to open in Princeton in nearly 90 years—and only the second hotel in its historic downtown, nearly doubling the number of available hotel rooms in town.
“When we started Graduate 10 years ago, Princeton was at the top of our list,” said Ben Weprin, founder, Graduate Hotels, and founder & chief executive officer, AJ Capital Partners. “The history, the heritage, the backdrop, the charm, the sophistication — it’s just the idea of what somebody envisions college looks like in America.”
Weprin’s firm, AJ Capital Partners, has restored, modernized, and expanded the 1918-era, Colonial Revival-style former university dormitory in partnership with architecture firm Stonehill Taylor. Today, Graduate Princeton is a contemporary collegiate-inspired hotel with 6,000 square feet of public space, 180 guest rooms, and a signature bar and restaurant – all designed in the brand’s characteristic hyper-local, vibrant style.
