Graduate by Hilton Minneapolis
About
HOTEL OVERVIEW Located in the heart of the University of Minnesota campus and minutes from downtown Minneapolis, Graduate by Hilton Minneapolis brings a distinct sense of place to meetings, events and group stays. With 304 guest rooms, 22,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space, an onsite restaurant and bar, and our Topgolf Swing Suite, groups can meet, dine, stay and connect all under one roof. Thoughtful design inspired by Minnesota and the University of Minnesota gives every space a personality all its own — creating a memorable alternative to the traditional conference hotel. GUEST ROOMS & SUITES Our 304 guest rooms and suites combine Graduate's signature storytelling and collegiate-inspired design with everything guests need to recharge after a full day of meetings or exploring Minneapolis. Standard rooms feature comfortable beds, a dedicated workspace and lounge seating, with thoughtful design details inspired by Minnesota's Nordic heritage and natural landscape. For guests looking for additional space, our suites include a separate living room with sleeper sofa and television, plus a private bedroom and sitting area.

Ideal for breakout sessions, smaller meetings, meals and special events. FOCUS BOARDROOM | 532 SQ. FT.

The space accommodates up to 125 guests for a reception or 80 guests for a seated meal, giving groups the flexibility to create an event that feels relaxed, interactive and uniquely Graduate. The Topgolf bay can be incorporated into the event as an optional activity — adding a fun element without taking away from the space's ability to function as a polished meeting or social venue. DINING The Beacon is our warm and inviting neighborhood gastropub, serving American classics with local flair for breakfast, lunch and dinner. From casual meals between meetings to cocktails with colleagues, guests can gather at the bar, settle into a booth or enjoy a more intimate experience in our private dining space. Starbucks, Chick-fil-A and Sweetgreen are attached to the hotel. PARKING Graduate by Hilton Minneapolis offers convenient onsite self-parking with both overnight and daily parking options available.
