About
About Graduate Knoxville
A design-forward hotel rooted in campus culture and Cumberland Avenue energy.
Graduate Knoxville stands directly across from the University of Tennessee, positioning itself at the crossroads of campus life and the city’s most recognizable collegiate corridor. The hotel embraces a playful, detail-rich design that draws from local history and Volunteer culture without slipping into novelty. Public spaces feel intentional and social, from the lobby to the rooftop, while guest rooms balance character with everyday comfort. The surrounding area stays active throughout the academic year, with game days, performances, and late-night dining shaping the hotel’s rhythm. Graduate Knoxville feels tied to its location—lively when the campus is buzzing, calmer between semesters—making it a natural fit for short stays built around events, weekends, and city breaks.

We picked the property because we are UT alumni. Our daughter loves Smokey, so we thought it would be fun to stay in a Tennessee-themed hotel during a visit to Knoxville.
