Main Dining Room
Few dining locales anywhere are more picturesque than Grand Hotel’s Main Dining Room. It overlooks the world’s longest porch and the hotel’s many American flags, as well as the glistening Straits of Mackinac. A full breakfast, the Grand Luncheon Buffet and five-course dinner—all included in the social guest room rate—are special events, each a highlight of the Grand Hotel experience. Healthy menu choices are marked with the Live Healthy Live Grand symbol.
