Experiencing Grand Rapids

Explore world-class eats and sensational sips in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids: the Craft Beverage Capital of the US!

When you're ready to take a break from the convention to explore the city, start in the downtown entertainment district which is just a five-minute walk away. You'll find delicious dining options and a bustling nightlife just steps from the hotel.

You might also want to enjoy a brisk walk across the iconic Blue Bridge which stretches across the Grand River. The Blue Bridge is one of the longest truss bridges in Michigan.

After a full day of sightseeing, you might want to indulge in a local craft brew or some fresh, farm-to-table cuisine.

Close out the day with a visit to one of the many attractions within walking distance of the hotel including the Grand Rapids Arts Museum, Grand Rapids Public Museum, Roger B. Chaffee Planetarium, and Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum.
