What’s Special About This Hotel
The historic Hotel Iroquois, built in 1900, has an old-world charm: when you arrive, you almost expect ladies with parasols on gentlemen’s arms to step out from the porch and start strolling down Main Street.
Only two families have run the Hotel Iroquois since it became a hotel. The Hotel Iroquois pays homage to the island’s history with its beautifully restored Victorian-style accommodations. You’ll find that it elegantly marries the past with modern comfort, creating a truly unforgettable ambiance.
What makes the Hotel Iroquois truly special is its unparalleled waterfront location. Situated right on the shores of the Straits of Mackinac, it offers unobstructed, breathtaking views of the Mackinac Bridge and the shimmering waters. This exceptional vantage point makes your stay a front-row seat to some of the island’s most iconic sights.

The hotel is right by the ferry docks but slightly removed from Main Street
-
Hotel Iroquois is right on the water with incredible views from the balcony

What to Do
With so much to do on Mackinac Island, like playing rounds of golf, kayaking around the island, horseback riding, and history tours, The Hotel Iroquois is a wonderful base as tour pick-up and drop-off points are less than two blocks from the hotel.
Relax on the private sunbathing beach and enjoy the beautiful waterfront when not out exploring. And when you are all done with your day, end it at the Carriage House, listening to live piano music.
What to Eat & Drink
One of the unique features you’ll find here is the renowned Carriage House Restaurant. It’s not just a dining establishment; it’s a culinary experience that brings fresh, locally sourced ingredients to your plate, delivering a taste of the island’s flavors in every bite.
You can enjoy gourmet dishes on the patio deck or dine indoors while indulging in those spectacular water views. Dining on the waterfront is the perfect summer experience to feast on American classics while luxuriating in the Straits of Mackinac breezes.
