Graduate Richmond

Graduate by Hilton Richmond is a boutique hotel in downtown Richmond, set directly across from Virginia Commonwealth University. Its 205 guest rooms across 14 floors draw on local history and VCU's Ram traditions, blending creative, collegiate-inspired interiors with a nostalgia that captures the spirit of RVA. Dining and drinks are anchored by two in-house spots: Byrdhouse, a rooftop bar on the hotel's 16th floor with panoramic views of downtown Richmond, and Brookfield, a lobby-level cafe serving coffee and pastries alongside a menu of smash burgers, salads, and shareable plates, along with local beers and cocktails. The hotel hosts meetings, celebrations, and weddings in event spaces designed with local flair, supported by an on-site events team that carries the planning through from booking to event day.
