When real estate developer (and former Starwood Hotels & Resorts executive) Paul McGowan was touring colleges with his daughter, he couldn’t find decent accommodations near the schools they visited. So he launched Study Hotels in 2008, with the Study at Yale. A modernist tower in Philadelphia followed, and the Study at University of Chicago is due in 2021. He’d found a void in the market: Plenty of college towns offer little more than a weathered chain hotel, with a floral comforter and a microwave, if you’re lucky. With Study Hotels, McGowan took aim at college-town visitors who long for something chicer. Others took notice. Graduate Hotels debuted in 2014 in a renovated foundry near the University of Georgia’s campus in Athens; now there are 19 Graduates, including Minneapolis, each waving a collegiate pennant in its design.

While big brands such as Hilton, Marriott and Nobu are starting to notice the vibrant culture of … [Read more...] about 5 hotels in college towns that really make the grade

MOAB, Utah — The doorknob had smashed a sizable hole in the wall of our room at the Apache Motel. The rusty bathroom ceiling fan made a harsh scraping sound, and the industrial carpet sported several suspicious stains.We loved the place.The neon sign at the motel, built in the early 1950s on what was then the town’s main street, is classic: A giant white arrow spears the motel’s name alongside the archaic image of an Apache. It glows with pure midcentury sentimentality.On a nine-day road trip last month, my best friend, Emily, and I found dozens of these pop culture touchstones as we wound through the rock country and national parks of Utah, the old mining towns of Colorado and the vast red rock reservations of New Mexico.
