We are proud to announce that we have signed an agreement with Hilton to acquire Graduate Hotels. Over the past decade, we've been dedicated to building a brand that celebrates glory days and every timeless memory that makes up college nostalgia. In those ten years, the Graduate brand has grown from one location to 37 hotels across the U.S. and U.K.    Each of our business ventures has a strategy that centers on identifying problems and developing unique, innovative solutions that foster growth and expansion. When it comes to scaling successfully, no one does it better than Hilton. We're excited to embark on the next Graduate Hotels chapter with Hilton, a company renowned for its ability to scale and elevate brands to new heights.   As we move forward, we'll continue collaborating with Graduate Hotels through real estate and development, leveraging our expertise and belief in the brand's lasting potential. We can't wait to see what the future holds for this incredible journey!  Read more about what the planned acquisition means for Hilton, AJ Capital Partners, and Graduate Hotels on The Wall Street Journal https://lnkd.in/e_VqEUVB Hilton, welcome to the handcrafted world of Graduate Hotels! #HiltonForTheStay #WeAreAllStudents
