SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Syracuse University (SU) on Wednesday said it has selected Graduate by Hilton as the brand partner for its upcoming development of a full-service hotel on University Avenue.
The site for the upcoming hotel is across from the University Avenue Garage, at the corner of University Avenue and Harrison Street. The hotel is expected to open in the fall of 2027, and the partnership is part of SU’s housing strategy, the university said.
The announcement follows the university’s conversion of the former Sheraton Syracuse University Hotel & Conference Center into Orange Hall. It also follows the school’s acquisition of the Hotel Skyler Syracuse, part of Hilton’s Tapestry Collection.

Graduate by Hilton is a lifestyle brand made up of 35 hand-crafted hotels that reside in “dynamic, university-anchored” towns across the U.S. and U.K, SU said.
Each hotel is created with a focus on local history and nostalgia — from the design touchpoints to the culinary experiences — “capturing the unique spirit of each university and reflecting the cultures and traditions of the communities they are located” in.
The planned hotel will feature about 200 rooms, on-site parking, a full-service, three-meal restaurant and event space. A rooftop bar and lounge will offer “stunning views” of campus, creating a space for both hotel guests and members of the Central New York community to gather, SU and Graduate by Hilton contend.
