GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.
An iconic hotel that has hosted numerous dignitaries, presidents and celebrities, the historic Amway Grand Plaza recently joined Curio – A Collection by Hilton. Located in downtown Grand Rapids, the Amway Grand Plaza, Curio Collection by Hilton is owned and managed by AHC+Hospitality.
“This iconic property serves as a hotspot for residents, business and leisure travelers thanks to its distinctive features that include the original architecture and design, as well as world-class dining options,” said Dianna Vaughan, global head, Curio – A Collection by Hilton. “We’re thrilled to welcome this intriguing hotel to the Curio collection that not only has a deep history in the Grand Rapids community, but one located at the heart of the best this beautiful city has to offer.”
Originally opened in 1913 as The Pantlind, the hotel included one of the world’s largest gold-leaf ceilings in the lobby and is now recognized as a Historical Hotel of America. Its distinguished history paved the way for the new Amway Grand Plaza, which reopened in 1981. Today, the hotel combines the graceful heritage of The Pantlind with the modern Glass Tower—which reopened in 2014 following a $14 million renovation featuring classic and contemporary design for the modern traveler.
Guests can relax in 682 spacious guest rooms, including 45 luxurious suites that include the Presidential Suite, Michigan Suite, Van Andel Suite and DeVos Suite.

The Amway Grand Plaza also boasts eight dining and lounge options ranging from fine dining to American classics to a restaurant featuring incredible views of the city including The Kitchen by Wolfgang Puck, Cygnus27, Ruth’s Chris Steak House, GP Sports Bar and Garden Court Lounge.
Amway Grand Plaza offers more than 47,000 square feet of versatile meeting space, including 42 meeting rooms and four elegant ballrooms ranging from classic to contemporary.
