University of Georgia Center for Continuing Education & Hotel

The University of Georgia Center for Continuing Education and Hotel on S Lumpkin Street is the only hotel located directly on the UGA campus. With nearly 970 reviews at 4.6 stars, the property serves as the primary lodging option for visitors attending university events, conferences, and football games who want to be as close to campus as physically possible. The location cannot be overstated. The hotel sits within walking distance of Sanford Stadium, the Tate Student Center, and the heart of campus. A complimentary campus shuttle is available for guests, making it easy to reach any part of the university grounds. For parents visiting students, attending graduation ceremonies, or tailgating on game day, no other hotel in Athens can match this proximity. The rooms are comfortable and functional, following a conference hotel format that prioritizes cleanliness and reliability over boutique design. The property includes meeting and event spaces that host university conferences throughout the year, which is the "continuing education" component of the name. The on campus setting means the surroundings are green, well maintained, and quiet by hotel standards. Rates are reasonable during non event periods, typically below what downtown boutique options charge. Game day weekends and graduation command significantly higher rates and sell out well in advance. Booking months ahead is essential for major UGA events. The Center for Continuing Education and Hotel is open year round. On site parking is available for guests, and the S Lumpkin Street location provides easy access to both campus and downtown Athens.
