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
Middlebury College names Central College Lawn as its main ceremony venue, usually in May. It isn't on our campus map, so the walk times on this page run to the tour start only. Page still shows the 2026 schedule: Sunday, May 24, 2026, 'Commencement Exercises' at 10:00 a.m. on the Central College Lawn; venue appears as a schedule line, not a sentence.
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.

Middlebury 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.
