INN AT BAY HARBOR JOINS MARRIOT INTERNATIONAL’S
AUTOGRAPH COLLECTION HOTELS
In June of 2016, Autograph Collection Hotels,
Marriott International’s distinctive portfolio of
independent hotels recognized for celebrating
individuality, welcomed the Inn at Bay Harbor to
its collection. The Inn becomes only the second
Autograph Collection Hotel in Michigan, following
The Henry in Dearborn.
Launched in 2010, Autograph Collection Hotels
is an evolving ensemble of strikingly independent
hotels located in desirable destinations around the
world. Exactly like nothing else, each destination,
including the Inn at Bay Harbor, has been
thoughtfully selected for its bold originality, rich
character and uncommon details. From near to
far, iconic to historic, the result is a unique array
of properties that is nothing less than completely
unique, nothing short of collectively exceptional.
Designed in the tradition of turn-of-the-century
grand hotels, the Inn evokes levels of service,
romance and elegance rarely experienced in
Michigan — or anywhere else. From fine dining
to spa treatments to intricate details that make
each stay special, the Inn’s amenities are curated
to provide each guest with an unparalleled,
unforgettable experience.
In preparation for the conversion from Marriott’s
Renaissance Hotels & Resorts to the Autograph
Collection Hotels brand, the Inn has completed a $2
million dollar renovation. The lobby — centered on
a spectacular Schonbek chandelier with more than
34,000 gem-cut crystals and nearly 200 lights — has
been modernized with a warm ambiance to settle in
from a day’s travels. Deep blue wingback chairs, rich
leathers, marble tabletops, decorative lighting and a
cozy fireplace flanked with bookshelves of northern
Michigan memorabilia encourages guests to linger.
Off the lobby, intimate alcoves and a gathering
table provide the perfect settings to savor a classic
cocktail and catch up on conversations with loved
ones. Lakeside dining at its finest is served up in
the all-new Vintage Chophouse | Wine Bar where
guests can indulge, unwind, and soak in refreshing
lake breezes and famed ‘million dollar sunsets’ in this
classic all-American steakhouse.
Among the first phase of guest room renovations are
35 newly redesigned Master Suites featuring classic
elements with contemporary twists. Calming hues and
nautically-inspired patterns, textures and art provide
a relaxing state of mind while enjoying the comforts
of these one-bedroom suites with full kitchens, living
areas with Travertine stone fireplaces, marble baths,
and breathtaking balcony views.

SIGNATURE MOMENTS
TRADITION. OUR WAY.
PIECES OF THE PAST
As a remnant of British high society, the concept of high tea suggests
something a bit elite, rarefied and exclusive. At the Inn, we’ve stripped away
the airs, and recast the tradition as an all-inclusive afternoon event, where
guests meet, mingle, and share stories of their travels. With a lively menu of
tea, spirits and snacks, our High Tea has earned its place as a guest favorite –
and a hallmark of every satisfying stay.
As souvenirs go, few treasures are as beautiful – or as interesting – as
Petoskey Stones. Found almost exclusively in and around Little Traverse
Bay, these pieces of fossilized coral are regularly revealed in the waters along
the Inn’s shoreline. Requiring a sharp eye and a touch of dedication, stone
hunters are often rewarded, and both the keepsakes and the memories are
sure to last a lifetime.
SIGNATURE MOMENTS
KIDDING AROUND
SWEET SPOT.
When summer arrives, our under-18 population shows a marked increase.
And for kids of a certain age, our Kids’ Club is enough justification to book a
return trip. With regularly-scheduled events every day of the week, and our
always-popular Saturday movie nights, the younger set will have plenty of
distractions – while giving parents some free time to enjoy theirs.
Northern Michigan grows more than 50% of the annual U.S. cherry crop.
It’s a sweet statistic that’s not well known - but one we’re proud to celebrate.
That’s why we welcome each guest with a gift of chocolate-covered cherries,
handcrafted in Petoskey’s very own Kilwins Chocolate Kitchens. It’s our
way of sharing the flavor of the region, and making your stay just a little bit
sweeter.

Signature: No. 7. Par 5 — 500 yards
The 7th hole on The Links is arguably one of the most photographed holes in the
Midwest. This beauty of a par 5 is perched high on a cliff with expansive views of
Lake Michigan as the backdrop. The tee shot offers plenty of fairway but moguls
and bunkering are present up the left side. The second shot lulls big hitters into
taking a run at reaching the green, but a considerable uphill shot and a typical
wind makes this a stretch. Played as a true three shot hole will afford many
players a viable run at birdie - if the breathtaking views do not distract.

Signature: No. 4. Par 5 — 577 yards
There are a few different routes to the 4th hole. A large fairway bunker splits the
fairway, providing area that is high to the left and low to the right. If you play to
the left, you will have a much better look at where you are going to play to next.
Playing to the right will create a blind second shot. It is very important to set up
a short iron or wedge third shot as the green has a pond in front and falls away to
the back. Reaching this green in two is out of the question for a vast majority of
all players, with disaster awaiting shots coming up short.

Signature: No. 8. Par 3 — 205 yards
A downhill par 3 guarded by a rock faced pond and Lake Michigan shoreline in
the backdrop. Once again, the sheer beauty offers up a considerable distraction if
you aren’t careful. The key to playing this hole successfully is your club selection.
Depending on the day, this may change by three or four clubs depending on the
strength of the wind.

600 Crooked Tree Drive • Petoskey, Michigan 49770
Architect: Harry Bowers

Crooked Tree Golf Club is perched on bluffs high above Bay Harbor near
Petoskey. The course was sculpted through century-old hardwoods and the back
nine opens to breathtaking views of Little Traverse Bay and Lake Michigan.
Signature: No. 8. Par 3 — 181 yards
A beautiful downhill par 3 with extensive Lake Michigan views in the background.
The green is fronted with a wetland gorge making laying up not an option. Long
here will not hurt, but a carefully played chip will be necessary with a sloping
green. A par here is a good score heading into the home hole of the outward nine.

BAY HARBOR: THEN AND NOW
For more than a century, Petoskey — and the shoreline
of Little Traverse Bay — has been revered for its
natural beauty. As early as the late 1800s, well-heeled
urbanites laid claim to the area as their own rural
playground. During the summer months, wealthy
weekenders brought their families and friends to
northern Michigan, establishing communities of
lakefront “cottages” where socialites could play, relax
and recharge after long, cold urban winters.
Arriving by steamships from the east and west, and
by land from the south, travelers beat a path to
Petoskey at the first sign of warm weather. In 1898,
Ernest Hemingway’s parents joined the summer
throng, building a cottage on the shore of nearby
Walloon Lake. Hemingway, who spent his formative
summers exploring northern Michigan, went on to
immortalize the area with his series of Nick Adams
short stories and his first novel, The Torrents of Spring,
which was set in Petoskey.
Concurrent with the rise of the area’s popularity
as a summertime destination, Little Traverse Bay
was also prized by industrialists eager to capitalize
on the area’s rich limestone deposits. During the late
1800s, a quarry took form on the land now known
as Bay Harbor. Over the course of the next 100
years, the quarry operation would grow, ultimately
occupying more than 1200 acres, spanning more
than five miles of the Little Traverse Bay shorefront.
The site’s last industrial use — as a cement plant —
ceased operations in the 1980s, and despite its
enviable location, the site, left bleak after decades
of resource extraction, would remain untouched for
more than a decade.
In 1993, a group of developers saw the property’s
enormous potential. Working with a grand vision —
and the resources to see it through — the team
embarked on the largest land reclamation project
ever undertaken in North America. Over the course
of the next several years, Bay Harbor took shape,
with nearly three dozen neighborhoods arranged
around a village center — all situated to capture the
beauty of the both the lake and the natural northern
Michigan surroundings. Bay Harbor was designed
to make the most of the area’s native appeal, with
a deep marina, yacht club, equestrian center, public
parks and more than five miles of nature trails.
In 1998, while the community’s redevelopment was
in full swing, the Inn at Bay Harbor took shape.
Designed to honor the architecture of the area’s
century-old grand cottages, the Inn immediately
fit both the community and its history, welcoming
guests to acres of carefully landscaped grounds, an
exhaustive list of amenities, and the area’s most
luxurious accommodations.
In the mid 90s, Boyne worked with legendary golf
course designer Arthur Hills to develop the Bay
Harbor Golf Club — named the “Pebble Beach of the
Midwest” by Golf Digest — leveraging the spectacular
lakeside setting, and Inn’s commitment to luxury.
Today, two decades since the area’s reclamation began,
Inn at Bay Harbor fits like a natural part of the
northern Michigan fabric. Located in easy walking
distance to boutique shopping, boating, and a long
list of other year-round amenities, the Inn welcomes
an entirely new generation of northern Michigan
travelers — merging the essence contemporary
luxury and more than 100 years of tradition.
