Central Mackinac Island Location

Located on Main Street in downtown Mackinac Island, the hotel is across from the Star Line Mackinac Ferry Dock. It is 0.3 km from The Richard and Jane Manoogian Mackinac Art Museum, McGulpin House, and Biddle House. The Original Mackinac Island Butterfly House and Insect World is 0.5 km away. Pellston Regional Airport is 40 km from the property. The island is accessible only by ferry.

Guest Services and Amenities

Services include complimentary luggage transport to and from ferry docks, meeting facilities, and vending machines. The hotel provides air-conditioned meeting space, workshop areas, and group breakfast options. All rooms have air conditioning and free newspapers. There is elevator access to each floor and an onsite Mackinac Art Gallery. The hotel is family-owned and has operated since 1882.

“The Murray Hotel, a family-run establishment since 1882, distinguishes itself with a timeless, updated ambiance that clearly appeals to couples and vacationers seeking a classic Mackinac Island experience. Its prime location across from the ferry dock and proximity to island attractions make it a practical base, while the on-site fudge shop adds a unique touch. I think the Murray successfully balances its historic charm with modern conveniences, providing a memorable stay for those drawn to the island's Victorian character.”
