The Harbor Grand Hotel

Stunning hotel and spa, excellent attentive service, fantastic location, spectacular attention to detail! From the moment we arrived, parking was convenient and Breanna at the front desk was so kind and informative. You get upscale spa vibes immediately upon entering your room, reminding you that you're here to relax and unwind. Love the spaciousness of the room and proximity to amenities as well as the beach. The cutest part is the included picnic basket breakfast that is delivered to your room each morning at your selected time. You can take it with you to the terrace or beach. Unique personal touch that I've never encountered at any other hotel. Love this hotel, we will certainly be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The hotel was beautiful and so cozy. The staff was welcoming and eager to help. Our room was clean, very comfortable and quiet. We loved the amenities like breakfast brought to the room, the sun deck and pool, restaurant, and walking distance to so many places!

Hotel was great. It’s very small. Much smaller than expected. I wouldn’t stay more than one day. Wish they had more lunch options as hotel restaurant is only open for dinner. Food however was really good. The breakfast being delivered and included in stay was a nice touch. Spa was a bit over priced in my opinion for the resort size. It was very small. However the spa services were great. Not sure I would go back as I prefer a resort that’s a bit bigger. Great location to the beach however with lots of options nearby for other dining, drinks, coffee and small boutiques. It’s a small beach town.

Bar, Restaurant & Views|Enjoy breathtaking views while dining or sipping a cocktail at the on-site bar and restaurant. It’s an experience in itself.||Final Thoughts|Stay here—you won’t regret it.

The attention to detail at this hotel is incredible. My wife and I came here for a four-day getaway and the stay was everything we hoped it would be. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a friendly staff - Briana (sp) was the one to check us in. The breakfast deliveries in the picnic baskets were a nice touch and delicious. The fact it's walking distance to the beach and a few shops is great also. We didn't need to drive at all during our stay (for those looking for outdoor activities, having a car is still a good idea). We loved our stay and will make it a point to come back periodically.

A Luxurious and Relaxing Lake Michigan Getaway We just returned from a wonderful two-night stay at The Harbor Grand Hotel in New Buffalo, Michigan, and it exceeded our expectations. We stayed in a Lake View King room on the third floor, and it was beautifully designed with Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired decor—clean lines, rich woods, and dark, soothing tones throughout the hotel. Our room was spacious and thoughtfully laid out. The bathroom felt spa-like with a freestanding tub, large walk-in shower, separate toilet area, and a roomy vanity. We appreciated the plush towels, soft bathrobes, and overall attention to detail. A wall of mirrors in the hallway added a sense of space, and although we didn’t use the under-bed drawers, it was a clever design feature. The Juliette balcony offered stunning views of the marina and Lake Michigan—sunsets were especially magical. The king-sized bed was comfortable, flanked by lamps and nightstands, and the fireplace next to the bed (operated by remote) added a lovely ambiance in the evenings. The room also included a mini fridge, TV, complimentary water, and a boutique chocolate bar—small but thoughtful touches. One of our favorite features was the in-room breakfast delivery. Each evening, we filled out a breakfast card, and the next morning a basket arrived right on time with choices like frittata, muffins, fruit, juice, coffee, and more. Sitting by the window, sipping coffee while watching the marina come to life, was a highlight of our stay. The on-site restaurant, The Terrace Room, was bustling every evening and for good reason. The Italian-inspired menu, creative cocktails, extensive wine list, and marina-level views made it a fantastic dining experience. There was both indoor and outdoor seating available. Though we didn’t use the pool or hot tub, we did check them out, and they looked clean and inviting. The adjacent sun deck is a nice bonus. Front desk staff were friendly and helpful, offering bikes and beach towels as needed. At over $400/night, it’s definitely a splurge, but we felt it was worth it for the location and quality of experience. The hotel sits right in the heart of New Buffalo, which offers great shopping, dining, and of course, lake access. Sunday was quite busy, but by Monday things had calmed down, and it was wonderfully peaceful. We’re a married couple in our mid-60s, and this stay was just the relaxing escape we were hoping for. We will absolutely return.

Great destination! We appreciated the interior design of the hotel and the amenities, especially the breakfast in a basket which was superb! We were meant to put our order out on our door by 8 pm each evening, but when we forgot, they were very accommodating. Another unique feature of this hotel is that they asked us when would be convenient for them to come tidy our room each day. We appreciated that!

Just got back from a 2-night stay at The Harbor Grand Hotel in New Buffalo, MI and wow — what a treat! We had a King Lake View room on the 3rd floor with a fireplace, big soaking tub, and a balcony overlooking the marina and Lake Michigan. Gorgeous sunsets every night!||The hotel has a cool Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired design — warm woods, dark paint, very cozy and elegant. We loved the little extras like plush robes, boutique chocolate, and breakfast delivered right to our room each morning (fresh fruit, muffins, frittata… yum!).||Dinner at their restaurant, The Terrace Room, was fantastic — Italian food, great wine, and a lively vibe with views of the water.||It’s a bit of a splurge, but totally worth it for a peaceful, beautiful getaway in a super walkable town. We’ll definitely be back!
