Buchanan, MI – The Southwest Michigan Regional Chamber, in partnership with the Buchanan Area Chamber, invites the community to join us Tuesday, August 26th from 4:00–6:00 p.m. for a ribbon-cutting celebration at The Grant Hotel and McCollum’s Restaurant & Bar in downtown Buchanan. Speaking engagements will begin at 4:30 p.m.
Nestled in Buchanan’s charming historic downtown and housed in the iconic McCollum Building, The Grant Hotel is a sophisticated boutique hotel and venue center that offers a perfect blend of timeless elegance and modern comfort. Overlooking the scenic McCoy Creek, The Grant features exceptional guest rooms, a full bar and dining area, and a full-service speakeasy bar—creating a one-of-a-kind destination for visitors and locals alike.
Inside The Grant, McCollum’s Restaurant & Bar delivers a refined yet relaxed dining experience. With a menu inspired by bold, seasonal flavors and a bar boasting a deep selection of bourbon, wine, and craft cocktails, McCollum’s combines elevated cuisine with warm, inviting hospitality. Whether it’s a memorable dinner, handcrafted drink, or a late-night bite, McCollum’s offers an unforgettable experience in a stunning setting.
To mark the occasion, attendees can enjoy complimentary appetizers, tour the hotel's venue and rooms and participate in exciting giveaways—including a $250 hotel room gift certificate and multiple McCollum’s gift cards.
“This has been a challenging yet very exciting project for us,” said Cami Bowling, Managing Partner. “All three of us partners are locals—our kids have either graduated from Buchanan Schools or are currently enrolled there. We’ve put our hearts and souls into this project and are thrilled to be able to provide a new space for the community to gather, reconnect, and enjoy family dinners, discussions, and celebrations. We’ve loved watching guests relax around the fire pits, share stories, and enjoy the simple joys of the creek and lawn. The outpouring of love and support from our community has been overwhelming, and we are incredibly grateful to every person who stops in to see us.”
“The Grant Hotel and McCollum’s Restaurant & Bar are perfect examples of the kind of investment and vision that make our region so special, said Arthur Havlicek, President & CEO of the Southwest Michigan Regional Chamber. " This space not only enhances Buchanan’s historic downtown but also creates new opportunities for connection, tourism, and economic growth. It’s a win for both residents and visitors, and we’re proud to celebrate alongside the owners and community.”
"Not only has The Grant Hotel & McCollums renovated and restored another historic building in Buchanan, they have filled a need within our community for lodging and fine dining, said Brandon DeJaynes, Director of the Buchanan Area Chamber of Commerce. "These local investors are committed to our community and our community is committed to them. We cannot wait to see them become a gathering spot in our downtown for years to come!"
This celebration marks the official opening of a premier hospitality destination in Buchanan and the beginning of a new chapter for the community—one where people can gather, celebrate, and create lasting memories.
