Whether you’re catching a sold-out show or exploring Grand Rapids' vibrant downtown, this hotel makes the perfect home base.
Why Concert-goers love it
With top venues like Van Andel Arena, DeVos Performance Hall, and more within easy walking distance, the location is a major win. The 24-hour front desk and flexible
4 PM check-in and
12 PM check-out give you extra wiggle room for late-night shows. Despite its central location, guests often comment on the hotel’s surprisingly quiet rooms—ideal for winding down post-concert. Plus, rideshare access is easy and fast for venues a bit farther out.

- Groups of friends looking to share a roomy suite with a kitchenette
- Solo travelers in town for a once-in-a-lifetime show
- Couples planning a music-filled weekend getaway
- Fans who love the show, but also value a quiet sleep
- Budget-conscious guests who appreciate value-packed amenities like free breakfast and WiFi
Food and Drink Options
Start your day with a free
buffet breakfast—perfect for refueling after a late night. The on-site bar makes it easy to grab a drink before or after the show, and with
room service available, you can skip the lines and unwind in your suite. For more variety, downtown Grand Rapids’ food scene is just a short walk away, offering everything from quick bites to late-night eats.
Nightlife Options
While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you’re just blocks from some of Grand Rapids' most beloved bars and lounges.
