They’ve made their home in the Foundry, where blacksmiths crafted famed works like the UGA Arch and the Double-Barreled Cannon. This reimagined space honors the site’s roots and preserves a piece of Athens’ historic past.
Their carefully curated rooms not only offer a comfy place to lay your head, but they offer little moments of surprise and discovery around every corner. Think of it as a place where your intellectual curiosity meets your favorite place to stay.
Whether you’re in town for a show, here to root on the red and black, or visiting for business, they’re here to make you feel like a local – even if it’s your first time in town. This is Graduate – get ready to be inspired.
