We went out to The Grand Hotel in Taipei today for afternoon teas. This is a hotel whose architecture is intended to live up to its name in every way. Operations weren’t quite to the same level (e.g., they scheduled building works adjacent to the cafe during their high tea service period), but it was a nice way to spend a quiet moment.

The Grand Hotel

A timeless view of Mackinac Island’s Grand Hotel, its sweeping white façade and iconic 660‑foot porch evoke 19th‑century elegance. Arriving by horse‑drawn carriage, guests step into history while overlooking Lake Huron’s sparkling waters. Vintage charm and majestic architecture make this landmark a symbol of classic American hospitality.

The Grand Hotel

Traveling to the Grand Hotel on Mackinaw Island seems as if you step back in time 125 years or so. The hotel was finished the end of the 19th Century, little has changed since. Arriving on Mackinaw Island via boat you are picked up at the dock in a horse drawn carriage. This will then take you the short distance up to the fabulous entrance to the hotel shown here.
