Reading the cards: minutes are our estimates from map distance, so they say "about". Breakfast, suites and kitchens are what each hotel brand promises across its hotels, not something we checked room by room. The places listed under a hotel are the closest ones within roughly a 10-minute walk of its door.
Room-price links and the Amazon buttons on this page pay us a small commission. The price you see there is unaffected. Thank you!Booking and Amazon links can pay us a commission. Thank you!How this site earns
Dartmouth College holds its main ceremony at Dartmouth Green, usually in June. On our map, 3 places to stay sit no more than about a 10-minute walk from it and 3 within about 20. 3 are within about 15 minutes on foot of both the venue and the tour start. Quote is from the page's description text and refers to the 2026 ceremony; the page heading is for 2027 (June 13, 2027) and its body names no venue. commencement.dartmouth.edu returned 401.
Rooms close to campus tend to go first for commencement, often months ahead and with a two-night minimum. If the walkable ones are gone, sort the list by the 10-minute drive chip and look one town over. Our graduation weekend guide covers timing.
Worth doing before you book
Look at your tour confirmation: the meeting spot can differ by day or by program.
Ask the hotel about parking; near many campuses it costs extra or is off site.
Touring two schools in one day? Leave room for lunch and the drive between them.
For move-in or graduation, ask about minimum stays and the cancellation deadline.
Dartmouth College gear for the ride home
A hat for the tour, a hoodie for the acceptance letter, a frame for the far end of it all. Each button runs an Amazon search for that item with the school's name filled in.
