Something different, something time-honored: You\u2019re invited to join in the unique experience as we close Grand Hotel\u2019s doors for the winter months.<\/p>\n

This package includes a casual dinner buffet on Sunday evening and a continental breakfast Monday morning. Enjoy an informal atmosphere with no dress code Sunday \u2013 Monday as we clean out our pantries and wine cellar. Bob Tagatz, Resident Historian, will host a presentation explaining the process we go through to close the hotel, as well as fun facts and interesting information from the 2025 season. Monday morning we continue the tradition of ringing the bell to signify the end of our season, bringing in the rockers and honoring exemplary service with our Grand Legend Celebration. Take home a piece of Grand Hotel with a geranium from the Front Porch.<\/p>\n

We look forward to you joining our staff in this annual end-of-the-year event that has become a tradition for so many.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
