Grand Hotel Mackinac Island
Michigan
Grand Hotel has welcomed guests to Mackinac Island since 1887, overlooking the Straits of Mackinac from behind its celebrated 660-foot front porch. The island's restriction on motor vehicles helps preserve the setting's distinctive pace, while individually designed guest rooms carry the hotel's exuberant decorative character indoors. The grounds combine historic hotel life with substantial recreation. The Esther Williams Swimming Pool includes a waterslide, cabanas and an adults-only infinity pool overlooking Lake Huron, and The Jewel provides an 18-hole golf course. Dining ranges from the formal Main Dining Room to woodland surroundings at Woods Restaurant and cooking from a wood-fired grill at The Jockey Club.
