We went to Mackinac Island and the Grand Hotel for our anniversary, late in the season, one week before they closed for winter. This classic grand hotel was exactly what we expected, immaculate rooms in 1880 period decor, million-dollar views, outstanding service, formal evenings. The internet special price made it affordable, barely. I have only 2 negatives: 1) the food... more

Staying at the Grand Hotel felt like taking a trip back in time to another, more simpler life. Even when we spent the weekend trying to do and see as much as possible, never once did we really feel rushed or tired from the experience. Stepping inside the hotel, you'll note that there is an attention to details such as... more

Growing up in Michigan, the Grand Hotel has always been one of those "someday" destinations. As in, "Someday I will be wealthy enough to stay at the luxurious Grand Hotel". We priced summer dates in 2008 and found the $500+ a night stay for the most basic room to be a little out of our price range (of course, this... more

We stayed at the Grand Hotel for a marriage conference, and it was truly a luxurious experience. Staying there feels like a trip to the past, both because of the period decor, and because after 6 pm there is a 'dress code' (dresses for ladies, coats and ties for gentlemen). Our room wasn't huge, but it was spotless, and I'm... more

In October I went with 3 friends for a two night Fall getaway to Mackinac Island. We took advantage of the off-season rates and stayed at the Grand Hotel. We had all been to the island previously, but had never stayed at the Grand Hotel. The consensus was that we would all love to have a return visit. Although the... more

We have stayed numerous times at Grand Hotel on business trips (Mackinac is a popular conference destination in Michigan). This summer we stayed for the first time with our toddler (under 2 years old). It was AMAZAING! We were shocked at how family friendly the hotel was. Our little girl was treated like a princess by every member of the... more

Grand Hotel is a memorable trip back in time and a wonderful vacation experience. This trip was no exception. Again we found ourselves immersed in the atmosphere and enjoying every moment of it...from the endless hallways, each worthy of a tour just to see the endless array of beautiful carpets...to the wonderful 100 + year slanted stairways to the incredible... more

I read the poor reviews on Trip Advisor before we made our reservation. I thought - it can't be that bad. After all, it's the Grand Hotel. Trust me - the reviews were right. We paid $249 per night for a room that overlooked other rooms, fire escape, rooftops, etc. I know someone has to stay in the not-so-good rooms,... more

This was our second time staying at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. It sure is a "grand" place! We stayed in the Eisenhower Suite which had the most beautiful inlaid wood bed we have ever seen. Our purpose for staying was for a Legacy Five concert which was held in the theater area of the Grand. It was nice... more
