Set right along the water’s edge, the Alexandra Inn is more than just a place to rest your head—it is where your Traverse City getaway truly begins. With sweeping bay views, thoughtfully designed spaces, and an intimate boutique feel, this waterfront retreat invites you to slow down, soak it all in, and settle into vacation mode the moment you arrive.

Located on East Bay, the hotel offers the best of both worlds: peaceful waterfront serenity with downtown Traverse City just minutes away. Step straight onto the beach and enjoy complimentary towels and loungers, making time by the water feel seamless and indulgent. Whether you are lounging in the sun or taking a sunset stroll along the shore, everything you need is right at your fingertips.

Every detail has been carefully considered to make your stay feel both elevated and effortless. The design blends modern luxury with warmth and comfort, creating spaces that feel polished yet welcoming. Start your mornings downstairs at the adorable Café and our curated Market in the lobby, where a perfectly brewed coffee or locally made treat sets the tone for an easy, unhurried day.

As evening arrives, Blush Rooftop Terrace becomes the heart of the experience. With panoramic views, inspired food, and cocktails, and a vibrant yet intimate atmosphere, it is the perfect place to unwind and take in the beauty of the bay. After dinner, swing by the café for a fresh cookie, then head down to the beach for a cozy bonfire along the shores of Lake Michigan.

With the water just steps away and the energy of downtown close by, the Alexandra Inn delivers a truly immersive Traverse City experience—thoughtfully designed, quietly luxurious, and completely unforgettable.
