Throughout the history of Grand Hotel, dining has been one of the brightest highlights of the guest experience, and every meal is truly special, thanks to exceptional food, service and ambiance.

A full breakfast, Grand Luncheon Buffet and five-course dinner are included daily as part of the Full American Plan.
