Grand Rapids
Grand Rapids, Michigan combines urban sophistication with small-town warmth. It has all the amenities of a big city, along with a friendly, eager-to-please attitude. A bustling downtown is highlighted by riverwalks, bridges, unique architecture and stunning cityscape views alive with music, dancing, and a hip, eclectic energy. Visit the 75 restaurants, nightclubs, entertainment venues and museums all within a five-minute walk of luxury hotels and a state-of-the-art convention center.
Suburban attractions include Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, one of the Midwest’s most popular tourist destinations, and the 28th Street retail corridor, one of Michigan’s most densely concentrated shopping and dining districts. Grand Rapids is also the gateway city to Michigan’s West Coast, a region of unparalleled natural wonders dominated by the crystal-clear waters of Lake Michigan.
