"The rooms are all designed to have a view of Grand Traverse Bay, so even if you're staying on the "road" side of the hotel, you won't be disappointed."

Rooms with Bay Views
West Bay Beach, A Holiday Inn Resort offers 173 guest rooms with partial views of West Grand Traverse Bay. Rooms include complimentary WiFi, a mini-fridge, coffee and tea maker, and Bulgari bath amenities. Choose between Standard King or Double Queen rooms, or upgrade to a Bay View King Suite with floor-to-ceiling windows and a custom-built wood headboard.
Dining by the Water
The on-site restaurant serves a modern American menu with seasonal dishes. Guests can enjoy live music on the waterfront patio four days a week. A locally sourced cheese board and cocktails are available at the bar, with sunset views over Grand Traverse Bay.
Outdoor Adventures
The resort features the only outdoor heated pool in Traverse City. Guests can rent fat tire bikes from Brick Wheels, 5 minutes away, or explore the Vasa Pathway's hiking and biking trails. Nauti-Cat Cruises offers boat tours, and Aussie WaterSports provides jet ski and SUP rentals.
Near Downtown & Airport
The resort is located directly on West Grand Traverse Bay, 10 km from Cherry Capital Airport. It's a short walk to downtown Traverse City, near Bryant Park Beach and The Dennos Museum Center. Bike rentals and a shuttle service are available for easy exploration.
Year-Round Activities
Winter guests can use the heated outdoor pool, enjoy s'mores at fire pits, or snowshoe local trails. Summer offers lawn games on the terrace and sunset cruises. The fitness center, indoor pool, and sauna are open year-round.
“West Bay Beach presents a paradox: a family-friendly resort also geared toward wine tours, where a burger-and-beer special complements curated local experiences. The indoor and outdoor heated pools operate year-round, though some rooms near the elevators are less appealing. I think this hotel shines when it embraces its dual nature-both lively and refined.”
