Stay and Experience More
With all of this and much more to explore, it only makes sense for your motorcoach group to stay for at least two days in Grand Rapids. Many of the area’s 100 hotels offer room blocks, group rates and communal amenities to accommodate people traveling together. Experience Grand Rapids is happy to gather hotel rates and information for your group and/or connect tour operators/planners with hotel sales managers – contact Specialty Sales Manager Lilly Baker to get started. We’ve also identified group-friendly restaurants and prepared sample itineraries organized around specific themes to help you plan a multi-day stay. All our services are offered to you free of charge.
A Gift for You
When you book an overnight group stay at a Grand Rapids-area hotel, you and every person on your coach will receive a Grand Gift: an Experience Grand Rapids gift bag that includes a Michigan-shaped air freshener (in multiple scents) and a general information sheet about Grand Rapids. The bags will be waiting for you and your group when you check in to your hotel. You just have to let us know you’re coming!
