Alexandra Inn Featured in Unearth The Voyage - Michigan
We’re honored to be featured in Unearth Michigan in a story dedicated entirely to Alexandra Inn and the experience of staying on the shores of East Grand Traverse Bay.
The feature takes readers inside our boutique beachfront hotel in Traverse City, highlighting our private beach, lakefront guest rooms, Blush Rooftop Terrace, complimentary treats, and the little details that make Alexandra Inn a unique place to stay in Northern Michigan.
We’re grateful to Unearth Michigan for spending time getting to know Alexandra Inn and sharing our property with travelers looking for a waterfront getaway in Traverse City!
A Beachfront Hotel in Traverse City
One of the biggest highlights of the feature is something guests experience as soon as they arrive: Alexandra Inn sits directly on East Grand Traverse Bay, with a private beach reserved exclusively for hotel guests.
Our beachfront location gives guests the opportunity to enjoy Lake Michigan without ever leaving the property. Spend the afternoon on the shoreline, take a swim, relax in a beach chair, or simply watch the water from the shore.
Guests have access to complimentary beach chairs and towels, making it easy to enjoy a day at the beach without having to pack everything yourself.

Lakefront Rooms with a View
Unearth Michigan also highlights our guest rooms and the opportunity to wake up overlooking the bay.
Alexandra Inn offers a collection of thoughtfully designed lakefront accommodations in Traverse City, including Lakeview Balcony King rooms with glass-faced private balconies overlooking East Grand Traverse Bay.
Many of our rooms offer beautiful views of the water, while all guest rooms include comfortable king beds, sofa sleepers, complimentary Wi-Fi, 55-inch HDTVs, mini refrigerators, single-serve coffee makers, microwaves, and dedicated workspaces.
Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, a fall weekend in Traverse City, or a longer Northern Michigan vacation, our guest rooms and accommodations offer a comfortable place to return to after a day of exploring.
Blush Rooftop Terrace
A major part of the Alexandra Inn experience is Blush Rooftop Terrace, our fifth-floor waterfront rooftop terrace overlooking East Grand Traverse Bay.
Blush offers panoramic views of the bay along with wine, beer, cocktails, and a casual food menu. This year (2026), Blush's menu is intentionally more scaled back, featuring appetizers and flatbreads that are easy to enjoy while taking in the view.
The rooftop is especially beautiful in the evening, when the bay and Old Mission Peninsula become the backdrop for sunset drinks, dinner, and live music from The Fridays Band.

A Few Details Worth Knowing
We love that the Unearth Michigan feature highlights some of the small details that make a stay at Alexandra Inn feel special.
Each morning, guests can stop by our lobby coffee bar for complimentary pastries and coffee before heading out to explore Traverse City. Throughout the day, our amenities are designed to make it easy to settle in and enjoy the property, from our private beach and beach towels to our coffee bar, Market, fire pit, and more.
One clarification from the article: Blush does not serve breakfast. Our complimentary morning pastries are available in the lobby coffee bar, while Blush opens later in the day for drinks and its seasonal menu of appetizers and flatbreads.

Stay with Us in Traverse City
Alexandra Inn offers a different way to experience Traverse City: close enough to enjoy downtown, local restaurants, wineries, beaches, and area attractions, while still giving guests a peaceful place to return to along the bay.
And if you're planning a fall getaway, there's still time to experience Alexandra Inn during our 2026 season.
Our final night for the 2026 season is October 24, with guest checkout on October 25. We will then close for the winter season before reopening for stays in April 2027.
