Grand Rapids accommodation from NZ$109

You’ll find great Grand Rapids accommodation in almost every neighbourhood, especially near the downtown area. Grand Rapids is located just 48 km east of Lake Michigan and about 120 km south of the sprawling Manistee National Forest—perfect for getting a fresh air fix and some gorgeous snapshots. Oh, and did we mention the “Windy City” is just a few hours’ drive away? Book a Chicago hotel and a tour of the Great Lakes while you’re in the area!

Things to Do in Grand Rapids

Start with a whimsical peek at Michigan’s great outdoors in the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park. Of course, you can’t visit Grand Rapids without getting to know its most presidential resident at the Gerald R. Ford Museum, located on the western bank of the river, within walking distance of Grand Rapids Public Museum and Grand Rapids Art Museum. Start museum-hopping!

Unfortunately, there’s no museum dedicated to sitting on artisanal armchairs, but you can see some sweet houses and dine like a Victorian lady or gent in the Heritage Hill Historic District east of downtown. Step back in time, but sleep in modern comfort in one of our Grand Rapids hotels.

Getting To & Around Grand Rapids

Touch down at Gerald R. Ford International Airport (GRR), about 21 km southeast of downtown Grand Rapids. This is definitely a driver’s city, so catch a cab or hire a car (from Wotif, of course!) and start sightseeing!
