A few months ago, The Study at Yale opened on campus at the Ivy League school in October and back then, we were chomping at the bit for some real photos rather than renderings. 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:

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 1157 Chapel Street. A reception featuring the Yale Whiffenpoofs*, America's first and oldest collegiate a cappella group, will be held immediately after at The Study at Yale’s restaurant, Heirloom.

The a capella group! Andy Bernard is probably jealous.

The rooms at The Study do sound extremely inviting for an on-campus visit. Each guest room has a leather reading chair and ottoman, an expanded desk area, marble and glass showers and wireless internet. But what really stirs the preppy inside of us is the bath robe. Each room also comes with a custom designed seersucker bathrobe, stitched with the hotel’s logo which is a pair of reading glasses.

More photos after the jump. Thanks Susie!

Silly Yalies.

At the risk of Andy Bernard-ing about Cornell: at another ivy league school (my blood runs Big Red), I had to walk uphill in the snow both ways when I was a freshman to scrub toilets at Cornell's hotel as part of my curriculum. Are the Yale kids doing that? I think not. I'm not hating, I'm just saying. I aced every class. They called me Ace. I got straight B's. They called me Buzz.

...oh

That was an Andy Bernard quote. That last part. I did not ace every class nor get straight B's but that part about walking in the snow to scrub toilets in the Statler at Cornell... that really happened.

Go Big Red...

Jenna,
There are several hotelies working for Hospitality 3... The Study should be a "home run" in the New Haven market--only the Omni among competitive first-class hotels, and nothing with any style.
