Graduate By Hilton Tucson - A Modern Southwest Hotel with Rooftop Pool and University Views
Located steps from the University of Arizona campus, this 4-star Tucson hotel features a distinctive Southwest design with leather, wood, and textile accents. Graduate By Hilton Tucson's rooftop pool and bar, The Moonstone, delivers views of Mount Lemmon and the city skyline. The property houses rooms with air conditioning, while select accommodations offer connecting options including king bedrooms linked to twin-bedded rooms. A wet bar and queen sleeper sofa enhance the separate living spaces in upgraded units. The on-site restaurant serves diverse menu items from potato skins to ceviche in an industrial-style setting with multiple TVs. Corporate gatherings benefit from customizable catering services. The hotel stands 0.5 miles from Flandrau Science Center and Planetarium, 1 mile from Arizona Stadium, and 1 mile from both the Museum of Contemporary Art and Southern Arizona Transportation Museum. Multiple dining options exist within 1640.4 ft, including Pei Wei Asian Diner, Fuku Sushi, and Panera Bread.
Pros
Fire pits on the bar deck create year-round outdoor spaces
Experienced staff provide local-knowledge service
Restaurant menu features creative items like prickly pear cactus tacos
Colorful patio areas with umbrella-covered tables and flower displays
Cons
9.5 miles distance from Tucson International Airport
Limited on-site dining options compared to nearby establishments
“The hotel's artistic decor and proximity to the University of Arizona create a lively atmosphere. The rooftop pool, though popular, rewards with city views, while on-site dining adds convenience. I think its blend of location and character makes it a solid choice for those visiting the university area.”
