JW Marriott Grand Rapids is Already Thinking Big

Where: 235 Louis Campau Promenade Nw [map], Grand Rapids, MI, United States, 49503-2609

The JW Marriott Grand Rapids in Michigan doesn't officially open until Sept. 19th but the hotel made an exception for these special guests--seven Asian elephants who are performing in the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey show, Circus of Dreams.

The hotel served the elephants lunch and we sure hope they got the five-star service they deserve, otherwise PETA is going to be pissed. Oh wait, PETA is already pissed at the circus.
