We will have a hotel block at Park Place Hotel & Conference Center. We recommend this hotel based on its location with easy access to restaurants, beaches, and our venue. However, there are many hotels to choose from along Front Street such as Hotel Indigo, Delamar, and Bayshore Resort. There are also budget friendly options on the East Arm of the Grand Traverse Bay such as Hampton Inn, Cherry Tree Inn & Suites, Sugar Beach Resort. There are many rentals available in the area that can be found on Airbnb and VRBO. Traverse City is a popular tourist destination in Michigan so please note that accommodations may fill up faster than anticipated.
