Graduate Bloomington

Indiana


Like the Graduate Hotels in other US college towns, the Bloomington instills a deep sense of place with bleachers rescued from a local high school basketball gym, key cards designed as student IDs for Hickory's 1952 fictional state championship basketball team (have you seen Hoosiers?) and thrown-chair art in homage to Bobby Knight. Modern, hip and unbeatably located on Kirkwood.

Self-parking is $10.
