Enduring Bonds, Timeless Traditions:
Honoring Grand Hotel’s Legacy Groups
There are places that stay with us. Not just as backdrops to events, but as chapters in our lives. For more than a century, Grand Hotel has been proud to serve as that place for a remarkable number of returning groups whose loyalty is etched not only in time but in shared experiences, meaningful connections, and traditions passed from one generation to the next.
The Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan first gathered here 105 years ago. Each season since, they have returned to the Front Porch and familiar halls, carrying with them more than a century of memories. The Michigan Health & Hospital Association, with 104 years of consecutive visits, is another enduring presence that speaks to the deep and lasting relationships built here.
These are not merely meetings. They are homecomings. The Michigan Bankers Association, now in its 85th year, the Knights of Columbus in their 79th, and mParks in their 56th, remind us that the true legacy of Grand Hotel is not just found in its architecture or history, but in the people who return year after year to gather, reflect, and reconnect.
Some bring their work. Others bring their faith. But all bring their stories. WinSome Women, Celebrate Ministries, and Medical Education Resources have created retreats that inspire. The Detroit Regional Chamber and Michigan Realtors foster leadership and dialogue. Each group adds something meaningful to the spirit of the season.
Their presence is felt in the early morning quiet of the porch, in the lively laughter echoing down the halls, and in the quiet conversations over coffee as the lilacs bloom. These are moments that define the Grand Hotel experience.
“Grand Hotel is proud to have long-standing partnerships with many returning clients, whose continued enthusiasm for Grand Hotel is deeply valued,” Grand Hotel President David Jurcak says. “These legacy groups return year after year to give their attendees exceptional hospitality, timeless traditions, and countless memories they have come to cherish. We are honored to be a part of their enduring story and look forward to welcoming them back for generations to come.”
To each of our legacy groups, we offer our heartfelt gratitude. Your return is not taken for granted. Your trust humbles us. And your traditions have become part of our own. We look forward to welcoming you back, as we always have, with open doors and open hearts.
