Graduate Hotel East Lansing
AJ Capital Partners To Open Graduate Hotel In East Lansing, Michigan
Adventurous Journeys (AJ) Capital Partners announced today its plan to bring Graduate Hotels to East Lansing, Michigan. The 10-story, 194-room ground-up hotel development will be located on Grand River Avenue at Evergreen Avenue, adjacent to Michigan State University in the heart of downtown East Lansing. Construction will begin in spring 2019 and, once complete in fall 2020, the hotel will open as Graduate East Lansing, part of the Graduate Hotels collection.
Ideally located on Grand River Avenue, the hotel will be steps from Michigan State University's campus, including the MSU Union, and a 10-minute walk from Spartan Stadium. Situated among an array of shops, restaurants and bars, the hotel will offer direct access to downtown East Lansing.
Created for travelers who seek memory-making journeys, Graduate Hotels is a thoughtfully crafted collection of hotels that reside in the most dynamic university-anchored cities across the country. Each property celebrates and commemorates the optimistic energy of its community, while offering an extended retreat to places that often play host to the best days of our lives. There are currently 13 open and operating hotels across the U.S. and an additional 12 under development slated to open by 2020.
The 194 guestrooms will be uniquely designed for Graduate East Lansing, with elements inspired by the local community, university and the state of Michigan history. The expansive lobby will provide an inviting space for guests and locals to socialize, relax and study, while the rooftop bar will offer unmatched views of MSU's campus. The hotel will include more than 5,000 square feet of meeting and event space. Its ground floor will feature retail space for lease.
