Yale students donned their caps and gowns this past weekend for graduation. To celebrate the Ivy Leaguers, the Study at Yale gave away a graduation present. Unfortunately, it wasn't a new car. But it was still pretty cool: The hotel handed out Moleskine notebooks embossed with the Study logo and with the Yale commencement 2011 insignia.

Moleskine, of course, is the mother of all travel notebooks/journals/etc. It's a favorite for its simple design, durability and infinite uses. All guests who stayed at the New Haven, Connecticut, hotel this past weekend got a big black Moleskine—a big upgrade from the usual hotel pad that falls apart when you use it.

Could We Be Doing More Studying in the Future?

That's what it sounded like when we chatted with Paul McGowan, the Study at Yale's creator and owner. The Study at Yale has already impressed us with their spacious rooms, complete with reading chairs and ottomans as well as with their seersucker bathrobes, gingersnap cookies at the front desk and <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2010/9/23/03041/7556/hotels/The_Study_at_Yale_Lets_You_Be_More_Studious_Looking_with_Eyeglass_Rental">reading glasses on loan</a>. But there are even more little touches at the hotel that we learned about from McGowan. For instance, during reunion weekends, the hotel's bellstaff will wear hats commemorating the years

If you've forgotten your reading glasses on your trip, you can borrow a stylish pair from the hotel who has partnered up with designer <a href="http://www.amysacks.com">Amy Sacks</a>. And if you like them, you can end up purchasing them from the front desk or ordering a new pair from the Amy Sacks catalogue (Frames

But until we pay the hotel a visit ourselves, well have to rely on our steamy fantasy involving a rendezvous with a hunky Visiting Scholar. Er, also, the <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g33851-d1217689-Reviews-The_Study_at_Yale-New_Haven_Connecticut.html">TripAdvisor reviews</a>, which are impressively positive13 excellent ratings and one very good. Apparently even the doormen are dapper! A few highlights: * The only other choices near the university are a Courtyard by Marriott that in our experience could use a good cleaning, and the Omni, which is good but overpriced for what it is -- so The Study is a wonderful, welcome

And now that the hotel has officially opened today we finally got 'em.A ribbon-cutting is being held today at 4pm to celebrate the opening. Not sure if it will be a kegger because kids are either wrapping up their last exams or they have already headed home for the holidays.Here's what you can expect: <blockquote>At 4 pm, New Haven Mayor John DeStefano will join [Hospitality 3's developer Paul] McGowan to cut a ceremonial ribbon at the entrance of the 124-room hotel at
