So I have lived in Grand Rapids all of my life and currently live within a mile of the Grand River Hotel. I have seen it undergo several name (and management) changes over the years, Holiday Inn and Radisson just to name a few. However none have been very successful. After seeing the new renovations and hearing about the upgrades and the new outdoor bar area, we decided to give it a try for a night out with friends. So Glad we did! What a fantastic job they've done with the new renovations! The hotel lobby and bar have been upgraded to a much more modern, contemporary design and a clean, chic feel. (The rooms have all been newly renovated with the same modern upgrades as well, however we did not see the rooms) But the best part by far is the new outdoor bar/patio area! It is done right! Overlooking the beautiful Grand River, it also has firepits throughout. We had drinks out there while playing Giant Jenga and Giant Chess! Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that they had those too?! Our service was great, drinks were great and prices were good too. Overall, we had a great time and we plan to go back soon and even stay the night for a full night out and the whole experience!
