Graduate Knoxville, TN where Payton Manning helped design the Vol’s theme. “The project is an “authentic love letter” to Knoxville”, said Graduate CEO and founder Ben Weprin, of A.J. Capital who is a UT alumnus. The hotel is prominently located along The Strip directly on Cumberland Avenue, blocks from the University of Tennessee campus and nearby Neyland Stadium. The 112-key hotel features two unique food and beverage offerings, including Saloon 16, opened in partnership with NFL legend and UT alum, Peyton Manning, and Poindexter, Graduate Hotels’ signature all-day cafe concept. In the lobby, there’s an enlarged copy of Reggie White’s original student ID and stylized Sports Illustrated covers featuring legendary women’s basketball coach Pat Summitt. Outside, there’s a massive Knoxville-themed mural featuring Manning as “The Sheriff.” – Brenna McDermott Knoxville News Sentinel
