Throwback Thursday to 1979 and the filming of this romantic classic at Grand Hotel! ❤️🎥
My husband saw the movie in high school looked up Mackinac Island and the Grand Hotel and promised himself if he ever got married he’d take his bride to the Grand for the honeymoon! When we got engaged he insisted on keeping the honeymoon location a secret until the departure. The memory of our honeymoon at the Grand has remained a treasure for 27-going-on-28 years now. Raising 4 kids to be teens & young adults w college years ahead may keep us from returning for a while yet, but we sure want to, someday!
I worked at FNB on Mackinac Island the summer they filmed this. They were filming in front of the bank, early in the morning and we HAD to be in the bank, they had to stop filming so we could get into the bank. So much fun to watch. He was so handsome and had broad shoulders and she was a little slip of a thing sitting in the carriage...great memories!!!
My favorite! My wedding dress, hat and parasol were based on that movie!❤
Love "Somewhere in Time" on my "bucket list" to go to the Grand Hotel sometime!
A favorite movie & hotel. Here is my Elise McKenna portrait in the dining room !
This is what started my fascination with The Grand Hotel. Visited a few years ago for The Titanic Weekend (dressed in period attire) how fitting. ABSOLUTELY fell in love with The Grand and the whole island. The tribute to the movie in the parlour was fantastic and the plaque by the famous (tree scene) was so nice to see. Disney is not the greatest place on earth.. The Grand is!
One of the BEST all-time movies. And, music score, as well. <3
One of my all-time favorites, as well! Going to stay at the Grand this August for our 20th wedding anniversary. Can't wait! ❤❤❤
My favorite movie. I will make it to the grand hotel one day!!!!
When I first saw this movie I lived in the UK and managed to find Mackinac Island in my world atlas. I was so disappointed to find it was thousands of miles away. Then in 1995 I relocated to the US, Michigan to be exact. We try to go to the island every year now.
Where my fiancé pooped the question and he also bought me the music box I love it we went and had a case made for it... he asked me right by the tree... he knew that I always wanted to go there
If not for this movie, we would have never found our beloved Grand Hotel. I saw it on late night TV in the early 80s. I woke my husband sobbing, saying “We must find this place!” That was over 35 years ago and about 38 trips later.
My ALL TIME favorite movie. Have watched it a zillion times. Stayed at the Grand Hotel during their "Somewhere In Time" weekend. Just amazing. BEST LOVE STORY EVER!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I watch this movie a lot and love visiting the mackinaw island where it all began ♥️
I rode my bike with him out past Devils Kitchen. He asked my buddies what it was like to spend the Summer on Mackinac. He also narrated what was going on during Superman when the sound went out in the theater
Every year while staying at the Grand, I feel like I’m back in time. Mackinac Island is “Somewhere In Time” ♥️♥️♥️
My absolute all time favorite movie of all time..
I remember seeing the movie during my first year in college. I fell in love with the era, the hotel and the movie. One day I’ll make it there....
One of my all time favourite films! Might watch it again soon! If I ever win the Lottery I will make sure i visit this splendid hotel. 👍🏻☺️
Loved visiting the Grand Hotel this past summer and seeing all the memorabilia from the movie! ❤️
My favorite movie of all time. I have visited the Grand Hotel many times and was married there in Oct 2016. Wonderful memories
Did anyone notice on Dr. Quinn, when her fiancé comes back he has this picture? Love it!
My favourite film in the whole world. I have the replica pocket watch, still would love the grand hotel music box one day.
I love the Grand Hotel so much I even sat through this movie....which was filmed there.
My favourite movie, hope to visit Grand Hotel one day, long journey from Scotland. Xx
Happy President's Day from the Presidential Suite! The Presidential Suite Balcony offers the most breathtaking views of the Straits of Mackinac.
Thank you! Happy President’s Day! I love the President’s Suite! It is amazingly beautiful! Sharing...
I want to come again this summer! The Grand is my home away from home! ❤️❤️❤️
My family stayed there while my Dad was at a conference. It was also my 10th birthday! I'll never forget the ride in the presidential carriage and my birthday cake served by the chef on the silver tea service. The staff did so many things to make my birthday so special and it's a memory I'll cherish always.
Wish I was presidential enough to get this suite for a night. 💚💚💚💞
Love all the bright colors🗽🇱🇷🥰
I stayed in this suite (with three friends from college) when we were celebrating our 60th birthdays. It was amazing!
Please visit this place, you will have many good memories and will want to keep going back! We did and loved our visit!
I'd do ANYTHING to be able to completely redesign all those rooms with a more eye appealing design. I love history, but all the rooms are very 70/80s where nothing matches and isn't calming/relaxing to the eye.
This looks so much better than the snow covered Main Street on the island that you posted earlier 😆☀️☀️🥶
It was a wonderful suite and a wonderful celebration of two great people so much in love.
We stay at the Grand every time we visit! Lovely place!!
It is definitely regal!!! The balcony is such a treat... And Yes, the Views.. Incredible 😍
Our family had a wonderful stay in the Presidential suite ... Thank you Grand Hotel for the lovely memories!!! ❤️
I also love the pop of colors! I worked as a chambermaid in 1986. The Presidential Suite was one of my rooms. Simply amazing view from the balcony. I loved it up there.
We were lucky enough to go into it in April, during the Handbell Festival!
Oh to hear those walls talk! Breathe taking! #2020 Goals!
Fortunate to have stayed in this suite!
Was fortunate to visit this room during kofc convention. View is beautiful!
Had a wonderful stay in the Betty Ford Suite many years ago !!! Spectacular view of the mighty Mac !!🚴♂️🏞🚴♀️🚵♀️🚵♂️
Grand Hotel is our favorite place. This is the first summer we’ve missed in a long time. We usually go in June but we’re unable to catch an appropriate time slot this year due to other family obligations. Hoping to be able to get there next year!
I love the bright colors! Nothing dreary about this! My dream to come for a stay here!
A beautiful space! Had the pleasure of touring it last summer.
How blessed were we Janine ? That was so fun !
I love the bright vivid colors. All of the rooms look just as lovely. I love going up to the Cupala (not spelled right, sorry) Bar and looking out at the panoramic spectacular view. Can't wait to get there. Best vacation place, ever. <3 <3 <3
Me too. Love that island but I bet it's pretty cold and barren right now.
