Minutes from the Willamette Valley's finest vineyards and wineries, The Grand Hotel in Salem invites groups to savor the best of the Pacific Northwest. At home, in the heart of downtown Salem, Oregon, the hotel offers 193 spacious accommodations and a flexible meeting room for up to 75 people. Next door, the largest of 14 spaces at the adjoining Salem Convention Center host up to 1,200 and 1,600 respectively.
The hotel opened in March of 2005 as part of Salem's LEED-certified conference complex and holds EarthWISE certification for extensive green practices. Delegates can balance business and reward by touring the wineries, exploring historic downtown Salem, dipping into the pool or fitness center, meeting for Pacific Northwest fare at Bentley's Grill, or sampling local wines and a connoisseur's collection of spirits at The Lounge.

From management to the frontline staff, a top-notch facility. Theresa is always at her A game. Robert, Al, Coty and Katia, were always checking in and making us feel like we are the most important people in the conference center. Nothing was ever an imposition. Joe and Dave always took care of all our AV needs and were johnny on the spot.
Thank you Tamy for keeping us so organized and for the special upgrades here and there. Will be back. Thanks again Salem Conference Staff and management. You truly made my day!

David S. Meeting Planner
The evening went off PERFECTLY—the meals were served on time, the servers did exactly what we requested—they DID NOT clear our guests plates until our speaker had finished his presentation, all of his AV worked PERFECTLY, and the lighting was excellent. It was one of our best donor appreciation events ever.
