My all time favorite is The Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. We were fortunate enough to stay there for four glorious evenings.
I think of it as a magical place where no cars are allowed and horse driven carriages, along with bicycles are the main transportation.
The hotel sits on top of a hill overlooking the Straits of Mackinac and a grand garden. This hotel boast having the worlds longest porch filled with huge white rocking chairs and surrounded by hundreds of red geraniums. People sit there and mingle with tea or cocktails.
Dining is fabulous and 5 star. The restaurant pays great attention to details, such as placing napkins in the ladies laps and refilling water glass after a few sips. The waiters are dressed meticulously with the white napkin over their arm.
The rooms are charming and each one is decorated differently. Our room was yellow and blue with flowers everywhere. It was bright and very cheerful. Our view was the Straits of Mackinac and the bridge which lights up in the evening.
There has been several movies made at this hotel but my favorite is Somewhere in Time with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour.
I included a link to the hotel so you can see how beautiful it is.
