Grand Hotel

Beckoning you to a bygone era of old-world hospitality and charm.

Grand Hotel first opened its doors in 1887 as a summer retreat for vacationers who traveled to Michigan by train, and then came to Mackinac Island via steamer and boat. Throughout its time as America’s Summer Place, one family nurtured and guided the hotel’s growth to a highly celebrated and much-beloved getaway. Today, this National Historic Landmark continues to beguile guests with old-world hospitality and charm, inspired enhancements, and a heritage to be preserved for generations to come.

Grand Hotel, America’s Summer Place since 1887, beckons you to a bygone era of old-world hospitality and charm. You’ll return to a time of horse drawn carriages, afternoon tea, croquet on an endless lawn, and chamber music in the afternoon.

Elegant evenings begin with proper attire after 6:30 PM, followed by ballroom dancing throughout the evening. Nothing intrudes on the serenity and natural beauty of Mackinac Island. At days end, retire to one of our 388 guest rooms or suites, each uniquely designed.

At Grand Hotel, every guest room and suite features its own design and ambiance and offer a variety of views including the hotel, The Jewel Golf Course, or the Straits of Mackinac and Mackinac Bridge. A Grand vacation starts with a Grand experience. Explore all the things to do on Mackinac Island by foot, bike, or horse. Golf on The Jewel, play pickleball, and head to the lawn for croquet. Take a behind-the-scenes tour of our celebrated gardens. Go to wine and whiskey tastings, and enjoy a traditional Afternoon Tea, complete with live music. With 13 restaurants and bars, dining at Grand Hotel offers something different, something to remember.
