We heard a lot of people try to describe the new JW Marriott Grand Rapids hotel in downtown Grand Rapids. “Impressive” and “Wow” are the first reactions that come to mind.
The JWMGR today was officially dedicated in a ceremony highlighted by spiritual voices from a local gospel choir, high-stepping members from the Michigan State […]

National news previewed the JW this morning, which debuts Sept. 19.
Of particular interest: our 19th floor and lounge, an exclusive perk for female guests.

Long before he became so important to U.S. history, back when our company was just a start-up, Gerald R. Ford was our Congressman, our neighbor, and our friend.

Haven’t forgotten about all of you. In fact, we were thinking about you on our drive in this morning, through a West Michigan ice storm that had cars slewing around like tipsy otters dancing in an over-waxed ballroom. Not that you remind us of otters. Or that you’re tipsy.
