I absolutely love the Graduate Hotel on Roosevelt Island! This has become a special place for my husband and me — it’s our go-to whenever we’re in the city. The service is always top-notch and the staff are consistently warm, welcoming, and helpful.
We stayed in a beautiful king-size room with an incredible view of the East River and Manhattan skyline. The bed was super comfortable (those pillows are amazing!), and the overall vibe of the room was cozy yet stylish.
One of the highlights for me is always the bath products — the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash smell great and feel luxurious. The restaurant downstairs also serves delicious food, and the whole experience is consistently seamless and enjoyable.
Location-wise, you can’t beat it. The F train makes getting into Manhattan or Queens quick and easy, but you also feel like you’re escaping the chaos of the city when you’re on the island. We truly love this place — can’t wait to come back again!
