Grand Hotel is situated on the southwestern bluff of Mackinac Island overlooking the Straits of Mackinac and – in the distance – the Mackinac Bridge. From the front porch – the world’s largest at 660 feet – guests can look down at the well-kept gardens and relax and enjoy the ambiance of “somewhere in time”. It is no wonder that hollywood has chosen to come here more than once. Indeed, like a classic movie, Grand Hotel is larger that life. The Victorian elegance has been kept intact. Each room at Grand Hotel has been tastefully decorated by New York designer Carleton Varney with its own special character and style. Breakfast and dinner daily are included in the Grand Hotel room rate, and are served in the Main Dining Room. Visit their website and familiarize yourself with the elegance and the history of this magnificent hotel. A stay on Mackinac Island at Grand Hotel is a unique experience and most guests depart to the mainland with memories that last a lifetime.

“ I think nature’s imagination is so much greater than man’s, she is never going to let us relax! “ Richard Phillips Feynman
Arch Rock is a geologic formation on Mackinac Island in Michigan. It is a natural limestone arch formed during Nipissing post_glacial period. To this day Arch Rock stands on the Lake Huron shoreline 146 ft ( 45m ) above the water.
My inspiration for this post is thurro_alexander. Hope you like it Alex, it’s not as dramatic as yours!

Our guests at Grand Hotel take fashion very seriously! One of our regular guests here got a suit jacket custom made from the Dorothy Draper & Co. print called "Brazilliance" and now he can basically hide anywhere in the hotel. 🍃👍😄 #grandhotelmichigan #mackinacisland #dorothydraper #carletonvarney #americassummerplace #130grandanniversary #brazilliance #fashion
