Stay in a ‘Stranger Things’ Suite at This Indiana Hotel

With the final season of Stranger Things coming out this year, why not celebrate in this Indiana suite inspired by the Netflix phenomenon?

The Netflix series, Stranger Things, has been captivating audiences since 2016. The fifth and final season of the show is set to come out later this year in three parts. Volume 1 (4 episodes) will come out on November 27, 2025, Volume 2 (3 episodes)will be released on December 26, 2025, and the final episode will come out on January 1, 2026. I, for one, can not wait to see how this story ends!

What will be the fate of the characters we have grown to love from Hawkins, Indiana? We'll have to wait to see. What better way to celebrate the release of the final season of the hit Netflix series than by visiting Hawkins, Indiana? By now, you probably know that you won't find Hawkins on any Indiana map, but a little piece of the town exists in Bloomington.

Indiana Hotel Has a Real ‘Stranger Things’ Room

You can take a trip to Hawkins, Indiana, in the 1980s by visiting The Graduate by Hilton in Bloomington. The hotel has a two-room Stranger Things Suite that was designed to look exactly like Joyce Byers' living room and the Wheelers' basement.

The Graduate by Hilton Bloomington

Here's what The Graduate by Hilton says about the Stranger Things Suite:

Welcome to Hawkins. Make yourself at home in Joyce Byers' living room, complete floral wallpaper, a pull-out sofa bed and, of course, Christmas lights. Sorry in advance — the lights seem to have a mind of their own.
Next door, the Wheelers' basement is just what you'd expect, wood-paneled walls and all. You'll feel like part of the party with oversized walkie talkies and a collection of retro board games. If you're up for it, start a game of Dungeons & Dragons — you can even wear Will's purple wizard cloak to really get into character. Plus, these '80s inspired digs have a king bed for ultimate relaxation.

Here's a cool thing about this suite: the hotel says that eleven percent of the proceeds from each booking will be donated to Bloomington's WonderLab Science Museum. Eleven..get it?!

It should be noted that this room is (for the most part) designed to be just like the 80s, so it doesn't have a nice flat, smart TV, or anything like that. It does have WiFi, so bring your laptop or tablet if you want to binge-watch the show during your stay.

While you're there, you will notice several Easter eggs throughout the rooms from the show. I'd imagine that this suite is a hot commodity, so if you want to book it and experience Stranger Things in person, you can learn more and book your stay by clicking here.

LOOK: Here's Why Indiana is Pretty Much the Best Place on Earth [As Told by Hoosiers]

Reddit user, u/youcanneverbanme recently asked their fellow Hoosiers in the Indiana subreddit what they liked about living here. The question received hundreds of responses and the vast majority of them were positive. Of course, there were some that were negative because there are sad people who are perpetually angry on the internet and want everyone to know it for some reason, but we won't concern ourselves with those. We want to focus on the good, and when it comes to the good, there's plenty of it to enjoy.
