Wife and I had Tea time @ the Grand Hotel! Absolutely amazing! Well worth the money if you're into classy establishments ! Dress for the occasion! This is very fine dining , staff are top notch.

The Grand Hotel has the world’s longest front porch , thousands of flowers , as well as a sign espousing the hotel’s dress code and not permitting non-guests any further. —SM http://bit.ly/OQLZO6

The Grand Luncheon Buffet is served in our main dining room. The dining room seats over 750 people. The legendary Grand Luncheon Buffet is one of the highlights of the Grand Hotel experience.

Great trip into history. Exceptional service. Some modernization (such as non-dining room evening options and affordable soft drinks ) would make the experience much better.

Matthew Swartz

Stayed here for my anniversary. Amazing experience -- totally different world, like going way back in time (carriage to hotel , formal attire only for dinner , parlor entertainment). $$$$$ but worth it.

Jessie W

What a beautiful place and lovely experience!! Went here for the lunch buffet and was very pleased - a good selection of very gourmet food and what a gorgeous place to eat it in.

Visiting car-free Mackinac Island can feel like traveling back to a simpler time. This charming hotel is where 1980 film Somewhere in Time time-traveling characters fall hopelessly in love. Read more

The Largest Hotel on the Island . It has variety of nice restaurants . Very nice.. Highly recommended ????

Victoria Leonard

A destination with all the charm of a third-generation, family-owned resort . A national historic landmark visited by U.S. presidents, world-renowned entertainers, and families for well over a century.

Ronda Hawkins

Incredible historic site with great view of the straits. $$$$$ you decide if worth the price.

Victoria Leonard

The main dining room seats over 750 people and the buffet tables are the length of the dining room - BON APPETIT! V = D smiles

Grand Hotel is the "Grand Dame" of Michigan. Located on quaint Mackinac Island, she is the standard in luxury hotels , service and amenities , from the days of privlideged travel.

Save yourself the 4.50 and walk to the Grand from the ferry . It's not far and is nice to visit the shops along the way.

What goes better with a few rounds of golf ? Hefewiezen & Pilsener Bottles of course! Try one while your out on the 9th hole.

Matt Case

Don't stick your hand in to stop the elevator doors closing unless you're 100% committed. And either quick or strong.

Ben Bethel

So very sad to see so much potential ruined by incongruous design, sour-smelling carpets, and general disregard for maintenance. Remove the carpet, let the piano and clicking of glasses echo thru out!

Lee May

Dance in the Terrace Room! Live music every night from 9:30-11:30pm

alfred soriano

Try their vanilla flan ! im sure you'll like it especially with a shot of fudge in a milk-chocolate cup;)

David Murray

Here's the thing. The Grand Buffet is honestly not that great. The quality of the food is terrific, but the selection is just okay. Save room and go for the desserts !

Shatha

The classical vibes there.

Dr. Susie Millard

Lovely, lovely,lovely!

Marissa H

The raspberry creme brûlée is absolutely amazing.

Andy Tesch

Order the breakfast instead of the buffet . It's a lot better. The poached eggs , hash and potatos were excellent.

Jill Rudler

Order from the menu for breakfast , but lunch buffet was excellent!

Allen Arcade

Pricey and fancy . :)

Grand Hotel

Be sure to try the drink of the day. Porch Punch is my favorite!

Tim Edwards

Pretty, expensive , 10 dollars and proper dress to enter...just to enter the hotel .

Sheri Wassom

If you're staying at the Grand Hotel, you'll have to go into "town " if you want to eat dinner before 6:30. All food places at the Grand close by 4pm.

Brett Garwood

Wear a tuxedo shirt to dinner . Record with hidden camera . Relive the fun.

WicksnCandlesticks

I love it here!

Lynne Spence

Highly overrated. Stay in town & pay the $10 if you want to walk around the place. It is way cheaper than paying $550 a night for a tiny room with no view , average food and average service.

Forrest

Beautiful dining room.

Alex Neil

I hope they accept my AMEX Centurion card LOL!!!1!!!1!!!

SeeLee @ Remax

Be prepared to act like your important. A Lot of pomp and circumstance in here

Dan Cray

Tip the musicians ...they work hard. :)

Alex H

They need to do something about the smell. Lovely hotel but smelled like a nursing home .

Mary M Motta

don't even try to look at the porch without a ticket. we walked past the hotel to get to a trail to see the beautiful houses on the water and were bombarded by staff about tickets. off-putting!!!

Matt Larson

Hmm $10 to get in...it's okay, but not sure it's worth it.

Amanda Jean

Be prepared to pay $10 just to walk on the sidewalk out front of the hotel

Janice Leibhan

Room service

Mike Mou

Don't even bother eating the buffet lunch . The food is so not fresh and service waiters are super annoying.

Ryan Bradley

This entire island is incredibly old - I would recommend skipping it unless you are over the age of 65, maybe even 75!

Really good food. Keep in mind the island for the most part gets their food all from Sysco or Gordon. It’s the chiefs that make the difference. Try the fish and chips. You’ll thank me. - Joseph Lawson

The view is awesome. Very peaceful. My brother and I stayed here after we rode the Zoo-de-mac. Our legs were very tired. We biked to the inn up several steep hills- be sure to plan for that. - Anna Harris-Shaw

Try the old fashioned here instead of the hotel. They know what they're doing. The fries were excellent, as is the view (especially if you like golf). - Teresa Molina
