Take a Virtual Tour of The Grand Hotel in Salem
Thursday, August 26th, 2010The Grand Hotel Salem Top Event Picks for May!
Monday, April 26th, 2010Planning a trip in May to Salem, Oregon? You are in luck because May is one of the best times of the year to visit. The Salem community along with surrounding areas have planned a wonderful array of activities and events. With so much happening next month, we thought we should highlight our top picks of things to do in May:
Spend an afternoon on one of our glorious local gardens: Salem, Oregon and surrounding communities are filled with many choices of scenic and lush gardens. Several of the nurseries and gardens in Salem will be open to the public beginning May 1. See this video highlighting Adelman Peony Gardens with their many varieties of lovely peonies (and bring your camera if you go!!). For a complete list of the gardens and the festivals in our area, check out Travel Salem’s List of Gardens
Go to First Wednesday on May 5: First Wednesday is Salem’s favorite evening event, always scheduled on the first Wednesday of each month throughout the year. Events and activities are scheduled for 5 PM to 8 PM. The First Wednesday in May just happens to fall on Cinco de Mayo!
Check out the Silverton Wine & Jazz Festival on May 8: Wine lovers will love this event! Celebrate fine Oregon wines of the Willamette Valley Wine Region at The Fourth Annual Silverton Wine & Jazz Festival. Tickets are just $25 and proceeds go back to benefit this lovely historic community.
Buy Local and Fresh Products: The popular Salem Saturday Market is Back! The Wednesday Farmers Market will open again on May 5! The markets will be open through October of 2010. For details and a list of vendors visit www.salemsaturdaymarket.com.
Visit a Local Vineyard Over Memorial Day Weekend: Local Wineries throughout Salem and Oregon will be hosting an Open House for Memorial Day Weekend. This event is so big- we will be posting more information about this in the coming weeks. In the meantime- mark your calendars and check out Travel Salem’s list of local wineries for details or call 503-581-4325 or 800-874-7012 for info.

From Cathy, last month!
We had a very nice stay at the Phoenix Grand Hotel. It was my second stay and I looked forward to staying at your beautiful hotel. It is my first choice of places to stay in Salem. I was very appreciative to find, after a long and tiring day of traveling through stormy weather and heavy traffic, that the manager upgraded us to suite for our stay. It was a wonderful treat. Also, I appreciated the mini-store off the lobby, the underground parking, the nice wine selection, and delicious breakfast. Next time I will look forward to trying Bentley’s for a meal. Thanks again for the lovely accommodations. By the way, I was in Salem with my daughter who was attending a campus day at Willamette University.

Here is another review from Elizabeth who stayed with us recently:
I stayed as a casual guest (non-business) for one night. Totally impressed with the friendliness of the staff as well as the amenties of the hotel. If I am ever in the area again, you are my #1 choice for hotel. And I am recommending to everyone I know. Thanks for the excellent experience! Dave in your restaurant on Friday night was exceptional.
