Grand Traverse Resort and Spa
Grand Traverse Resort and Spa is a large hotel with more than 500 guest rooms and condominiums spread across 900 acres of land in Michigan. The property features modern buildings, multiple dining venues, indoor and outdoor pools, a full-service spa, three golf courses, and extensive meeting facilities including Governors' Hall with over 19,000 square feet of space.
The resort was developed as a destination combining golf courses with hotel and conference facilities to serve diverse visitors. Over time it became a regional center for business conferences, golf tournaments, and family vacations, growing to include multiple dining and entertainment options.
The name reflects Grand Traverse Bay and its significance in the region's past. Visitors see modern buildings that blend with natural materials like wood and stone, creating spaces where guests gather for celebrations, meetings, and meals throughout the year.
The resort is located about 6 miles south of Traverse City and is easily accessible by car or small plane via Cherry Capital Airport. The property is relatively flat and straightforward to navigate on foot, with clear signage and information available at main buildings.
A striking feature is the 17-story glass tower, from whose top visitors can gaze out over surrounding forests, lakes, and sky. Some suites have special designs, including a room series for fans of a local American football team, adding personal touches to a stay.
