Mackinac Island Hotels-Where to Stay on Mackinac Island | By Sherry Trautman | Traveling Michigan

Staying in Mackinac Island Hotels is truly part of your Island experience. Easily select lodging with our hotel map!

View and easily select your lodging with our hotel map, pricing and guide! Includes Hotels, Bed and Breakfasts, Inns & more.

Hotel owners wish to charm their visitors with exceptional services, amenities, views or sweet treats.  You'll feel like royalty when you awake to the sounds of Mackinac Island coming alive. 

It's pure luxury sleeping in a quaint hotel, slipping downstairs for a delicious breakfast, grabbing your bike and heading out for a peaceful pedal before the first ferry boat arrives.  Plus, staying on the island makes us feel so pampered and special! 

Honestly, before I began researching for Mackinac Island Michigan Hotels, I thought all hotels were well over $250 a night. I mean, I was always lead to believe you had to be rich to stay there.  I shocked to discover plenty of affordable options under $150 a night!  It's happy dance time!!  

Mackinac Island Hotels are perfect for families, wedding parties, romance, getaways, groups, girls trips and more! 



Mackinac Island Michigan Hotels have over 1,500 unique lodging rooms!

A little known fact is there are no franchise Mackinaw Island hotels on the island.  As such, these one-of-a-kind family owned hotels strive to provide you with an exceptional experience every time you visit.

TIP:  If you have your heart set on a couple specific Mackinaw Island hotels, it would be wise to book your rooms at least 6 months in advance to improve chances of room availability. 

Of course, the time of year and day of the week greatly affect the room rates so the same room could be up to $200 more on a different date. 

While trying to compare Mackinac Island Hotels in preparation for our next visit, I was unable to easily determine the location of each hotel. So to solve the problem, I created the map below listing a majority of the hotels on the island.  They are all assigned a letter that corresponds to the key below.  I hope you find the map super helpful!

How To Get To Mackinac Island Hotels With Luggage


Getting to Mackinac Island Hotels from the Mackinac Island Ferry Dock:

Once you arrive on Mackinac Island speak with a porter about your choices. Depending on your hotel's luggage policies/services, you will be given a couple choices:

  • The porter will take your luggage and direct you to your hotel. Upon arrival at the hotel, you will need to present your luggage claim stubs that you received at the ferry dock to the desk clerk at check-in. Your luggage will then be delivered to your room. For your return trip back to the mainland, follow the in-room instructions. Your luggage will be tagged and transferred from your room to a secure location on the appropriate mainland dock.  A round-trip luggage fee will be added per person.
  • You will need to utilize a horse-drawn taxi to take you and your luggage to your hotel.  

NOTE: Transportation to and from Mackinac Island Hotels are generally not included in your nightly hotel rate. You may walk, bike or take a horse-drawn taxi to your hotel. See Mackinac Island Transportation for more information.

You may want to contact your hotel prior to your trip via email or phone to clarify their luggage transfer logistics.


  • Plan Ahead:  Your luggage may take approx. two hours to arrive at your hotel or to arrive at the mainland dock at the end of your stay.  Bring a separate change of clothing if you are staying at a hotel requiring an evening dress code if arriving after 6:00 p.m.
