sporting activities and Lansing area attractions including the Michigan State Capitol and Lansing Lugnuts baseball at Oldsmobile
Park. Kellogg Center is located just eight miles from Lansing’s Capital City Airport, and shuttle service is available.
For those renting cars or driving to our facility, a 1,000-space attached parking garage is available on a complimentary basis
to hotel guests (More information and pictures of the hotel).
A
special room rate has been negotiated for the IGLC events: US$ 69 single (plus applicable taxes - click here to find more about room amenities). NB: Breakfast is not included in room rates but is provided as part
of the any summit event registration.
