Grand Traverse Resort and Spa in Acme, northeast of Traverse City, is nearing completion of a $10.5 million renovation of its original six-story hotel that started in November 2022.
The project includes what officials are calling “a total transformation of the resort’s hotel.” It added two new junior suites, and updated four hospitality suites, all guest rooms, bathrooms, corridors, and elevators, plus four public restrooms.
“This is the resort’s most expansive renovation project to date,” says Matthew Bryant, general manager of Grand Traverse Resort and Spa. “We have increased our guest room number in the hotel from 239 to 242 and added two new junior suites. These rooms provide comfort and style unlike anything else in the area.”
The new interior boasts a “modern, organic, and refined feel.” Interior finishes provide rich textures, nature-inspired neutral palettes, and inviting warmth.
“Grand Traverse Resort and Spa is a landmark in northern Michigan,” Bryant says. “We brought the beauty of northern Michigan into the rooms while also celebrating our owners, the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, with artwork and décor.”
As northern Michigan’s largest conference and convention center, Grand Traverse Resort and Spa is a premier destination for corporate meetings and events. The resort has more than 550 guest rooms overall to offer businesses and organizations looking to meet in its 86,500 square feet of newly renovated meeting space.
“These new hotel rooms feature all the amenities our corporate guests need while here on business,” says Katie Leonard, director of sales for the resort. “Each room includes a 55-inch smart TV, k-cup style coffee maker, and convenient power units with USB plug-ins.”
