Main Dining Room
Few dining locations are more picturesque than Grand Hotel’s Main Dining Room. It overlooks the world’s longest porch displaying the hotel’s many American flags, as well as the glistening Straits of Mackinac. Sit down for dinner and you may catch a glimpse of the bellmen taking down the flags for the day – an evening sunset tradition while enjoying music by the Grand Hotel Orchestra.
The Main Dining Room offers a full breakfast and dinner daily. Based on the current environment the Grand Luncheon Buffet will not be offered during the remainder of the 2020 season.
