Grand Hotel

Grand Hotel remains a tradition. There is nothing quite like it anywhere in America, making it a must-see destination for the seasoned traveler. The only noise you hear is the wind blowing, waves lapping , the sounds of horse-drawn carriages and boats pulling out of the harbor.

The location is prime, a real haven of peace, where the clock stops and romance begins. In fact, the producers of the love-story film "Somewhere In Time," featuring Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve, used the hotel and the island background for the film.

Your carriage brings you to the hotel where everything is in the theme of geranium flowers. The all-wood structure harbors more than 300 guest rooms, a very grand dining room called-in the French tradition- "Salle a Manger", meeting rooms, a gigantic patio which makes you feel like you are on the deck of a bygone - era steamer.

A bastion of old-world hospitality and charm takes you back in time. This hotel might be a good prescription for relaxation. A week or just a few days here will change your life. The Musser family, now in it's third generation of ownership, describes Grand Hotel as "the crown jewel of pristine, secluded Mackinac Island; Grand Hotel has been the worlds largest summer hotel since 1887."
