Spend a few hours basking in the luxury and grandeur of the beautiful and historic Grand Hotel on scenic Mackinac Island.
Spend a few hours basking in the luxury and grandeur of the beautiful and historic Grand Hotel on scenic Mackinac Island as you enjoy a decadent buffet worthy of royalty. Established in 1887, the Grand Hotel is known for having the longest front porch in the world, a popular spot for sweethearts and honeymooners. It is also a favorite Hollywood filming location: "Somewhere in Time" and "This Time For Keeps" were filmed on the property.  Notable visitors include Mark Twain and five US presidents -- Harry S. Truman, John F. Kennedy, Gerald Ford, George H.W. Bush, and Bill Clinton. With this exciting self-guided tour, you'll get to visit all the public areas of the hotel, including the porch, the gardens and the stables. View the sites and sounds of this sprawling landscape at your own pace- while the times visitors are welcome to tour are from 8:00am - 6:00pm, guests are free to take their time and stroll at their own leisure.

You'll also dine on a sumptuous buffet served in the elegant Main Dining Room -- with a lush assortment of seafood, hot entrees, cheeses, salads and more than 20 desserts, it's guaranteed that you'll never leave hungry! Visit the Grand Hotel for a glimpse into the elegant Old World atmosphere of Mackinac Island.
