We’re proud to share that Alexandra Inn, the boutique waterfront hotel in Traverse City, Michigan, has been named a finalist for the 2025 Select Registry Craft Lodging Awards “New Member of the Year” — a prestigious recognition in the world of independent hospitality.
What “New Member of the Year” Means
The Select Registry Craft Lodging Awards honor excellence among independently owned inns, B&Bs, and boutique hotels across North America, and the “New Member of the Year” category recognizes a property that has demonstrated outstanding engagement, service, and alignment with the Select Registry community shortly after joining the organization.
As a finalist, Alexandra Inn stands alongside esteemed hospitality properties from across the country — underscoring the remarkable reception it has earned in a relatively short period as a Select Registry member.
“New Member of the Year (2025) is presented to a new member property that best demonstrates immediate engagement, activation, and passionate support of Select Registry.”
