I would recommend staying more than one night here. There is so much to take in and see just at the hotel itself, that I would say spend a day at the hotel, then another taking in the sights of Mackinac Island. Just a reminder, you will have to dress appropriately as they like to keep the 'riff raff' out.... more

My first visit to the Grand was in 1987, I have stayed just about every year since. My kids are 10 and 14 now. Yes, it is expensive, however your dinner, breakfast and all tips are included. It is very convenient to have the meals taken care of. There are many options for lunch, including a grill down by the... more

The hotel staff was wonderful. My elderly mother was part of our group and she was treated with the utmost care and respect. It was a dream come true to have all four generations there and be able to spend time together and get our pictures taken together. It was a trip I will never forget. Especially being able to... more

The hotel is amazing. You can see it from the boat as you approach the island. Each room has its own great style. The food was amazing! Everyday there is something new, literally, as the menu changes each day with a variety of food to choose from (three day rotation). The garden is beautiful and the pool is great. The... more

I spent two nights in the Grand Hotel with friends last month, and I was blown away by how lovely the building is and cordial the staff are. There is a feeling of fun and elegance when you're inside the hotel. I enjoyed the evenings listening to live jazz in a candle-lit, dimmed room. It was the first time I... more

For years I have been going to the Grand Hotel and always have a wonderful stay. On this trip I had a beautiful room facing the water. It was nice that we had connecting rooms so that our group could all be together so easily. There were new televisions with DVD players in both of our rooms that were a... more

We had a great time at the Grand Hotel. I think we may have been very lucky but when we were looking online the cheapest room we could find was over $600 per night. When we called we were able to get a room for $260 but that included only breakfast. When we were checking in we were very surprised... more

I have stayed at this hotel regularly throughout the years and find it to be of singular charm, beauty and historical interest. The hotel offers niceties from bygone eras such as High Tea, after dinner cordial service in the parlor and nightly dancing to the Grand Hotel Orchestra. There are the usual amenities such as golf, tennis and swimming in... more

My husband and I delighted in the whole experience, from arriving to the horse-drawn carriages, to the sweeping veranda of the Grand Hotel - to the service, the elegance, the grandure and yet the sense of personal comfort and being part of family vacations going back generations. It felt like being on a gracious cruise ship. We would go back... more
