Kellogg Hotel & Conference Center | Michigan State University

Bill Garrison welcomed the first guests to Kellogg Hotel & Conference Center on September 17, 1951, and today we remain focused on providing award-winning services to Michigan State University and the public. Much more than a campus hotel, Kellogg Hotel & Conference Center is the realization of the visionaries of the past and continues to embody the spirit of service beyond the campus boundaries.

The original concept was proposed just before the start of World War II by the Michigan Hotel Association to provide all facilities necessary to house, feed and conduct an educational conference under one roof. The inn would be a laboratory for hotel management. The project interested the Kellogg Foundation as a means to provide a venue for adult education and fit with the land grant mission of the University. The Kellogg Foundation financed the building with a $1.4 million grant. The State Board of Agriculture provided an additional $500,000. Michigan State University thus became the site of the first Kellogg Center for Continuing Education. There are now eleven Kellogg Centers throughout the United States.

Today, under the direction of Joel Heberlein, CHA, Kellogg Hotel & Conference Center continues to serve as a learning laboratory for the 300-400 students each year that are enrolled in The School of Hospitality Business and other majors. "Our role is still that of facilitating continuing education through hundreds of conferences, seminars and meetings. We provide our guests with first-rate accommodations and exceptional service through highly trained professional staff. We annually host 400,000 individuals for weddings, seminars, conferences and meetings, and each deserves only the best service, regardless of the occasion."
