Recently renovated, the pool is named after actress and competitive swimmer, Esther Williams, who once visited Grand Hotel while starring in This Time for Keeps. Among the new additions to this iconic, 220-foot-long serpentine pool include a large, heated whirlpool, expanded deck space, a new family area, and more than a dozen magnificent cabanas.
• Hoping to do a little Mackinac Island shopping? Enjoy a boutique experience — without ever leaving the grounds — at the shops of Grand Hotel. Here, guests will find everything from clothing, fine art, and jewelry to toys, bath and beauty products, sundries, special gifts, and souvenirs.
• Play a round of golf at Grand Hotel’s celebrated course, “The Jewel Golf Course.” Hailed by Golf Digest for its fantastic setting, The Jewel Golf Course is one of the most unique courses in Northern Michigan and the United States. The Grand Nine, located across from the hotel with views of the Straits of Mackinac, was built in 1901 and redesigned in 1987 by golf course architect Jerry Matthews. In 1994, he also designed the Woods Nine, located in the interior of Mackinac Island with views of the Mackinac Bridge and the Upper Peninsula.
• Experience the Woodlands Activity Center. Nestled within the scenic beauty of the Grand Hotel gardens, Woodlands Activity Center offers an 18-hole miniature golf course that seamlessly integrates with the lush natural surroundings. Visitors can also enjoy bike rentals, pickleball, bocce ball, shuffleboard, and explore the wonders of the nature center. For a fun family adventure, take a spin on the Cedar Grove Adventure Track, a 400-foot family-friendly bike track that promises plenty of outdoor enjoyment.
