There’s something about being on a college campus that brings back so many great memories. However, some of the aspects of college I try to forget are the grubby living conditions I endured with my roommates. The horrors of college housing are easy to forget for those staying at Graduate East Lansing as it’s one of the Most Unique Hotels In Michigan.

Being a prime destination for Michigan State Spartan fans is just one of the many reasons this hotel receives such high marks (except if you’re from Ann Arbor).

This 10-story upscale hotel has 194 rooms and is only a two-minute walk from the campus of Michigan State University.

If you’ve been to this part of Michigan before and are hearing about Graduate East Lansing for the first time, you’re not alone. It hasn’t been around long with construction complete in 2021.
Since this building is quite new, you’ll see that reflected in the contemporary, yet locally inspired design.

If you feel like there’s a little more green than you’re used to, part of that has to do with the campus next door. Michigan State is the only team in the Big Ten that sports the color, known for their rallying cry, “Go Green.”
The other reason you’ll see shades of green is due to the Northern Michigan-inspired decor.

The lobby is adorned with plenty of live plants, wood accents, and green suede couches. The atmosphere will transport you from Michigan’s capitol to the deep forests of the Upper Peninsula.
