era. As your ferry approaches the shore

you can see your home for the next two

nights, the glorious Victorian-era

resort, the Grand Hotel*. Both your

hotel and the island itself are National

Historic Landmarks. Upon arrival,

discover how the neighs and clip-clops of

horses replace the roar of engines. This

quiet island of yesteryear evokes a

nostalgia that truly inspires the senses.

The island is a natural gem with over

eighty percent of its land preserved by

Experience It! The Grand Hotel Stay for two nights in one of North America's most impressive hotels – the legendary

Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. Built during America's Gilded Age, the Grand Hotel is

an elegantly designed Victorian lodge made from Michigan white pine. The grand

opening of the Grand Hotel took place on July 10, 1887 – with room rates starting at

$3.00 a night. Guests arrive and depart the hotel by horse-drawn carriage – a romantic

and whimsical nod to a simpler era. As you approach the majestic manor, the first thing

you'll notice is the hotel's seemingly endless front porch. At 600 feet in length, it is the

longest porch in the world. Five U.S. Presidents - Bill Clinton, George H. W. Bush,

Gerald Ford, John Kennedy and Harry Truman – have all stayed at the Grand Hotel. The

1979 motion picture, Somewhere in Time, in which Christopher Reeve’s and Jane

Seymour’s characters found love across time, was filmed here. Every October, fans of the

film gather at the hotel for a weekend. Esther Williams’ 1949 film, This Time for Keeps,

was also shot at the hotel. The heated 220 foot, serpentine shaped, 500,000 gallon

swimming pool is named in her honor. Your stay at this historic landmark is sure to be

the highlight of your trip!
