Grand Hotel Mackinac Island - A historic Victorian resort with world's longest porch, iconic pool, and panoramic Straits views
Located 25 miles from Pellston Regional Airport, Grand Hotel has operated as a summer resort since 1887. The 388-room Mackinac Island hotel showcases double French doors leading to private balconies with views of the Straits of Mackinac and Mackinac Bridge. The property features 14 bars and restaurants, including the Geranium Bar and Main Dining Room serving regional dishes with Michigan maple syrup. Guests can enjoy the Esther Williams Swimming Pool with its zero-depth beach entry, water slide, and adults-only infinity edge area. The four-bedroom Masco Cottage provides a private setting with a hot tub and full kitchen. For activities, visitors can play The Jewel golf course, explore Cedar Grove Bike Track for children, or visit The Richard and Jane Manoogian Mackinac Art Museum. The hotel sits within walking distance to Trinity Church (0.5 miles) and Fort Mackinac (1 mile).
Pros
The world's longest porch offers panoramic views and pre-dinner cocktails
Horse-drawn carriage rides transport golfers between the front and back nine holes
Each room features unique decor and individual design elements
Multiple dining venues include traditional afternoon tea service with live classical music
Cons
25 miles distance from nearest airport requires additional transportation planning
Limited accessibility during winter months as this is primarily a summer resort
“I found the hotel's historical charm and family-focused activities genuinely appealing, enhanced by the diverse dining options and access to a full-service golf course; the individually decorated rooms also stood out. Its location near Mackinac Island State Park and the promise of stunning views from the world's longest porch make it a memorable experience. It's a place with character.”
