Graduate Richmond

Über diesen Ort Graduate Richmond

Graduate Richmond occupies a converted office building on West Franklin Street near the VCU campus and represents the Graduate Hotels brand's consistent ability to create boutique hotel properties that capture the specific character of their college-town locations. The Richmond property draws on the city's particular mix of Southern history, VCU art school creativity, and the progressive transformation of recent years — the design references Richmond's past without the reverence for Lost Cause mythology that has defined some other iterations of Virginia hospitality. The hotel is gay-welcoming in the manner of the broader Graduate brand: a hospitality company that has understood its core demographic of educated, design-conscious travellers and that has built a culture of inclusion accordingly. The Franklin Street location makes Graduate Richmond a useful base for both the VCU neighbourhood and the Fan District, and it is within reasonable walking distance of both Fielden's and downtown.
