Something delightfully different and time-honored, this special experience invites you to join us as Grand Hotel closes its doors for the winter season.<\/p>\n

The package includes a casual dinner on Sunday evening and breakfast on Monday morning. Enjoy a relaxed, informal atmosphere with casual attire from Sunday to Monday as we clear our pantries and wine cellar in preparation for the months ahead.<\/p>\n

Resident Historian Bob Tagatz will share insights into the hotel\u2019s closing traditions, along with stories and memorable moments from the 2025 season. On Monday morning, guests will take part in cherished traditions, including the ringing of the bell, bringing in the Front Porch rockers, and the Grand Legend Celebration honoring exemplary service. Guests will be invited to take home a piece of Grand Hotel with a geranium from the Front Porch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
