experienced superb hospitality since it was built in 1887.

stayed for weeks at a time. There are currently 381 guest
rooms and 12 suites. inside tip: Enjoy a most spectacular
view of the Island from the Cupola Bar, high atop the
hotel.
With 18 acres of waterfront property on Lake Huron,
MISSION POINT RESORT is a huge hotel property on
the Island offering a wide variety of recently renovated
rooms, five restaurants, and a fantastic health & wellness
spa. Overlooking Lake Huron, the Great Lawn is a favorite
place to lounge on Adirondack chairs, fly a kite or take a
romantic stroll along the waterfront. inside tip: Look for
Nick, a border collie and the hotel’s mascot , keeping the
Great Lawn free of geese.
The HOTEL IROQUOIS was originally built as a pri-
vate home in 1900. A few short years later, it was pur-
chased and transformed into the Hotel Iroquois. In
1954 Sam and Margaret McIntire purchased the prop-
erty, personally managed the forty-five room hotel
and added the Carriage House Dining Room. It is still
owned and operated by Mrs. McIntire and her family.
inside tip: Have lunch or cocktails on the outdoor patio
and enjoy an awesome view of the harbor.
The CHIPPEWA HOTEL offers beautiful accommoda-
tions downtown, directly on the waterfront harbor. Sip
a famous Rum Runner signature cocktail while sitting in
their huge 25 person pool size Jacuzzi. Dine at the famous
Pink Pony Patio Dining Room and Bar with lively enter-
tainment every night. inside tip: Have a late dinner and
stay until the entertainment begins.
The LILAC TREE SUITES & SPA is one of the first
on the Island of a generation of newly designed all
suite hotels, perfect for families. The hotel has shop-
ping on the ground floor with a variety of excel-
lent stores, plus a salon and spa in the lower level.

Mackinac activities, take in a full hour relaxation massage.
