Amway Grand Plaza Hotel, hotel in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA
The Amway Grand Plaza Hotel is a hotel in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan, made up of two connected buildings: a historic wing and a modern tower. The lobby has high ceilings and classic architectural details, while the guest rooms offer contemporary furnishings, and some face the city or the nearby Riverside Park.
The older part of the hotel dates to the early 20th century, when it opened as a landmark building in downtown Grand Rapids. A modern tower was added and the entire complex was renovated in the 1980s, bringing the two structures together under one name.
The hotel takes its name from Amway, a company founded in Grand Rapids that has long been tied to the city's identity. Local artwork is displayed throughout the public areas, giving guests a direct connection to the region's art scene.
The hotel sits in the heart of downtown and is within walking distance of restaurants, shops, theaters, and the DeVos Place convention center. Parking is available nearby, though the central location means traffic can be heavy during peak hours.
The historic wing of the hotel originally opened as the Pantlind Hotel and was considered one of the notable lodging places in the Midwest in the early 20th century. Part of the original lobby from that era has been kept intact and can still be seen today.
