Places like the 1913 Room Restaurant provided a very special experience for guests to celebrate those special moments in their lives. Guests were treated to multi-sensory experience at the restaurant that included: great ambiance, exceptional service and haute-cuisine. The 1913 Room Restaurant in the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel in downtown Grand Rapids provided a world-class dining experience to the community and the community guests staying at the hotel. Its excellence was recognized as the only Michigan establishment to receive the coveted American Automobile Associations (AAA) Five Diamond Rating. When the restaurant closed in mid 2011, the Museum collected a small group of representative dinner service items to help document and preserve its legacy.;These items were collected by the donors at a special "Last Dinner" event at the 1913 Room restaurant in Grand Rapids, honoring Jay and Betty Van Andel.;The Amway Grand Plaza Hotel has been making history since the original hotel, the Pantlind, opened in 1913. Fashioned after English Adams architecture by designers Warren & Wetmore, by 1925 the Pantlind was ranked as one of the Ten Finest Hotels in America. That distinguished history paved the way for the refurbishment of the historic Pantlind by the Amway Corporation, its new owners. The Amway Grand Plaza Hotel, and the 1913 Room restaurant, reopened in 1981, combining a graceful heritage with modern amenities.
