Grand Hotel, Michigan

The Grand Hotel is located on a small island located at the eastern ends of the straits of Mackinac, known as the Mackinac Island in Michigan. The hotel was constructed in the 19th century and the developers credit the hotel with having the largest porch in the world. The front porch is somewhere around 200 m in length and overlooks a vast Tea Garden.
The hotel has a sound history with eminent guests like Harry Truman, John Kennedy, George Bush Sr., and Bill Clinton visiting the hotel. This has also been visited by Thomas Edison and Mark Twain. There are 385 rooms altogether and no two rooms are alike. There are four categories of rooms and the smallest rooms cost around $480 for a single day. There is a Presidential suite that is located at the center of the hotel with a balcony over the porch. In early 2000, Masco Cottage, a detached structure was added to the Grand Hotel.
The transport is by horse carriages from the dock to the hotel as the island does not permit motor vehicles.
The hotel is owned by R.D. (Dan) Musser III and it has been made a national History Landmark from 1989.
