Park Place Hotel in Traverse City, Michigan

The Park Place Hotel in downtown Traverse City, Michigan

After Rose and I left Mackinac Island in October 2012, we stayed for one night at the Park Place Hotel in downtown Traverse City, Michigan. This hotel was constructed in the 1920s and opened around 1930 as a ten story hotel and has remained the tallest building in Traverse City ever since. The hotel was very nice and Rose and I both enjoyed our stay. There are several places to eat within the hotel and the views from the higher level floors are breathtaking if you are facing Grand Traverse Bay. The hotel is also just one block from Front Street in downtown Traverse City as well as the Traverse City State Theater, a historic theater that was restored in the mid-2000s after sitting empty for more than a decade.

Traverse City, Michigan Fall Front Street

Fall in Traverse City, Michigan along Front Street

Fall in Traverse City, Michigan along Front Street. In this photo, Spice Merchants, Nifty Things and Fustini’s, all of which are great places to shop. Spice Merchants has hundreds of different spices, teas, and more and as a person who loves to cook and eat, to me it’s a must stop destination while in Traverse City. Fustini’s Oils and Vinegars was also amazing and provided the opportunity for us to try many different types of oils and vinaigrettes including pineapple balsamic, ginger and honey, and many others.

Sunset over Grand Traverse Bay in Traverse City, MI

In this photo, the sun sets over Grand Traverse Bay in Traverse City, Michigan. I took this photo in June 2012 during my first visit to northern Michigan. Traverse City is an absolutely beautiful place to be and the area in that region is incredible. I stayed at the Holiday Inn West Bay, which if in this photo would be just a bit further to the left. While in town, I recommend Amical for dinner and if you like cherries, I recommend a stop at Cherry Republic in downtown Traverse City.

Holiday Inn West Bay in Traverse City at Sunset

The Holiday Inn – West Bay in Traverse City is located just east of downtown Traverse City along the shores of the Grand Traverse Bay. I stayed at the Holiday Inn West Bay during my stay in Traverse City from June 9-11, 2012 and had an enjoyable experience. Our room was located in one of the best locations in the hotel; in the northeast corner on the top floor. The room overlooked the Grand Traverse Bay to the north and the east, which made for a relaxing weekend overlooking the bay. We were happy to learn when we arrived that there are food places to eat at within the Holiday Inn!

This area in particular is a great area to stay if you are a photographer. The sun sets over the bay with the city skyline (small as it may be) just to the south of the sunset. The color reflects nicely off of the calm waters of Grand Traverse Bay creating a reflective reddish and magenta tint throughout the area. I was able to take several photos of the sunset in Traverse City and also have a timelapse video that I will post once I get that video done.

I enjoyed my stay in Traverse City so much that I am eager to get back to the city, perhaps even before winter! It was my first time visiting northern Michigan and the land and communities surrounding Traverse Bay are absolutely stunning. The location is great (although I would worry about the winters) and it’s proximity to Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore and Mackinac Island make it a nice destination for travelers. My dream someday would be to have a small cabin in the area just west of town and near the coast, but in the meantime, I’ll likely continue staying at the Holiday Inn West Bay when I come into town to visit and I recommend this hotel to anyone who is traveling to Traverse City and looking for a good beach area resort that is close to Traverse City’s downtown area.

AuTrain Beach on Lake Superior in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula

The beach in AuTrain, Michigan along Lake Superior. Growing up near the Indiana Dunes along Lake Michigan, it felt so different to be up on the shores of Lake Superior. A few surprises to me were the lack of small rocks along the beach and the shoreline. In Lake Michigan along the shoreline, there are colorful bits of river rock that have eroded into smooth pieces and piled up right at the shoreline. At AuTrain Beach, there was not a single rock along the shore and even into the water, no rocks could be seen.

This photo was taken while taking a road trip around Lake Michigan in June 2012. Be sure to check out my photos of Mackinac Island, Traverse City and Door County which were taken on the trip as well!

In the background of this photo, you can see a man walking with his dogs. I will post a better photo below. As I drove away, I handed this gentleman a business card and I hope he sees the photo below!
