We invite you to experience exclusive benefits of membership at The Historic Thayer Hotel at West Point.
A Thayer Premier membership will elevate your West Point experience with complimentary dining and bar options, upgrades and other perks.
Members move to the top of the waitlist for West Point Graduation and other special dates and may enjoy early check-in, late check-out, room upgrades and more.
Pro-Tip from a Cadet Mom: "I love the membership because it moved me up to the top of the waitlist and I was able to get into soldout dates when others canceled. AND, I ALWAYS get more time with my cadet with a guaranteed late check-out!"

Class of 2028 WEST POINT GRADUATION EXPERIENCE
GRADUATION IS CURRENTLY ANTICIPATED TO TAKE PLACE ON SATURDAY, MAY 20th, 2028^

Pro-Tip from a Cadet Mom: "Staying at The Thayer has been worth every penny in the last seven years as the service is excellent and the hotel continuously improves. The Thayer has been our hub and home away from home for football games, Graduation, Sandhurst, Ring Weekend, and other Academy events. Our son graduated in 2016, and our experience at the hotel was so incredible that we of course booked Graduation before R-Day for our second son who is graduating this spring. We love The Thayer!"

For those families who may still want to stay with us for Graduation or other sold-out dates, Thayer Premier Memberships can be purchased to give priority on the waitlist. Thayer Premier Members move to the top of the waitlist in the order of their membership level, and based on the dates that they call-in.
