Landmark Inn, historic hotel in Marquette, Michigan, United States
The Landmark Inn is a six-story historic hotel in downtown Marquette offering views of Lake Superior. The building blends original charm with modern comfort and currently has 66 rooms, many named after notable former guests.
The original Hotel Northland began construction in 1920 but financial troubles delayed its completion until 1930. After decades of decline the building closed in 1982, then underwent thorough restoration and reopened in 1995 as the Landmark Inn.
The hotel is known for hosting famous visitors whose names now mark individual rooms, creating a personal connection between past guests and today's travelers. These named rooms turn the building into a living record of notable people who visited Marquette and stayed within its walls.
The hotel sits in downtown close to restaurants, bars, theaters, and museums making it easy to explore the city on foot. It operates year-round and welcomes travelers seeking comfortable lodging with historic character.
The 1959 film 'Anatomy of a Murder' was partly shot and edited within the hotel, with the cast including Jimmy Stewart and Lee Remick staying during production. The building preserved this connection by naming a room after John Voelker, the attorney and author whose true case inspired the film.
