The holiday season is a magical time of year in the mitten state. Here at Royal Park Hotel, guests can experience the holidays like a true Michigander. From exploring the Big Bright Light Show in Downtown Rochester, to capturing memorable photos in front of our winter wonderland, staying in one of our holiday-themed suites, dining in PARK 600, giving back to The Salvation Army and so much more. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year!
Perhaps the most breathtaking part of the winter season is the Big Bright Light Show in Downtown Rochester. Beginning November 24th and running through January 2026, the Big Bright Light Show attracts visitors from all over the Country. Over 1 million lights of varying colors cascade down each storefront illuminating the city. Be sure to check out our holiday menus and happenings below!
