If you’re dreaming of a Michigan getaway, I’ve got some hotel picks I think you’ll love. These Michigan hotels & resorts have been some of my favorite stays—whether I was chasing lake views, cozy cabin vibes, or fun family adventures. From beachside towns to forest hideaways, you’ll find the perfect base to explore everything Michigan has to offer.

Highlights:

  • I relaxed in timeless elegance at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island—and honestly, you’ll feel like you stepped into a storybook.
  • I stayed at Boyne Mountain Resort for a weekend of skiing and ended up coming back in summer for the golf and spa. You’ll love it year-round.
  • I enjoyed lakefront luxury at The Inn at Bay Harbor—it’s one of those spots where you wake up and can’t believe the view is real.
  • I discovered rustic charm and non-stop outdoor fun at Crystal Mountain Resort & Spa. Whether I was hiking or relaxing in the spa, it hit the spot.
  • I experienced Detroit in style with a stay at The Shinola Hotel. You’ll be right in the heart of the action, with shops, restaurants, and art just steps away.
