Tuskegee University, one of the largest historically black universities in the United States, is a private university located in Tuskegee, Alabama. It was founded by Lewis Adams, a former slave, and George W. Campbell, a former slave owner. Adams asked that an educational institution for blacks be established. After Foster won the election, $2,000 (per year) was allocated from the state general budget for such a school to be located in Macon County. It was officially founded on July 4th, 1881, with Booker T. Washington, then a 25-year-old teacher at Hampton Institute in Virginia, as its first principal, a position he maintained until his death in 1915. Tuskegee acquired university status in 1985. Today it offers undergraduate, masters, professional, and doctoral degrees to more than 3,000 students with a strong orientation toward the relationship between education and work force preparation in the sciences, professions and technical areas. It was the first black college to be designated as a Registered National Historic Landmark (1966), and is the only black college to be designated as a National Historic Site.

"Everything was great"

Graduate by Hilton Auburn AL

10/10 Excellent

"Seriously the best hotel stay ever. Fast check in, gorgeous ambiance, spotless room. A text asking if I needed anything. A sound machine in the room (I slept well!) Valet service from my phone - even the tip so I didn’t have to go get cash. They make it so easy to stay here. I love it!"

"Everything was great but what stands out at this hotel is the staff!!! This is my third stay and my mind was blown again by them! Everyone and I mean everyone smiles, makes eye contact and speaks to us! Front desk, maintenance, maid service and breakfast lady! It’s like staying in a Chic Fil A!!! Very pleased and will stay again! "
