Delamar Traverse City

Even though it is the winter on the bay we had a lovely time at The Delamar. Outdoor heated pool in the snow was fun. Hot tub and sauna were wonderful. Staff helpful, room was nice and clean. I made sure they didn’t charge me for anything I didn’t eat or drink out of my room, and they never did. Everything was clean. I will say the atmosphere is more like an adults only resort. I have 4 kids but I really appreciate that it was quiet and relaxing. I wouldn’t bring my kids and that’s okay.

My wife and I stayed at the Delamar Traverse City on September 8th and 9th, 2025. This was our first time at the Delamar and it was our sixth stop on our trip around Lake Michigan. We stayed in a Bay View King Room. The Delamar is outstanding! The attention to detail throughout the hotel and the rooms is top notch. The view from our room right on Traverse Bay was stunning. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and great at their jobs. Getting champaign at checkin was a treat. Dining at the Delamar was excellent (food and service were great). The outdoor bar had wonderful views of Lake Michigan. The vibe was fun. Drinks were creative and tasty. The Delamar even has beach access to Lake Michigan, which we took advantage of and greatly enjoyed. We highly recommend the Delamar for lodging, dining and having a drink!

Winter get away everything was great both pools were perfect temperatures hot tub is hot and sauna was cooking. Food and drink awesome and the staff kind and friendly everywhere. Downtown TC is very close but it was too cold to really enjoy it.

This was our second time staying here. We booked with Delamar because we love the ambiance of the outdoor, heated pool. Our stay in December was great. Our stay in September felt disappointing. The pool was not a temperature that made swimming on a chilly evening desirable. I attempted to swim midday and while the water temperature would have been tolerable it was clear the pool had not been tended to; the water surface was covered in bugs and bees. Our room was nice and well kept, the door didn’t automatically latch shut though which resulted in our room being left unsecured for a bit. Overall, it’s a great hotel with amazing views but I don’t think the price matched the accommodations.

I've traveled and stayed at 100s of hotels. This is one of not the best hotel experience in my 56 years. From the amenities to cost. Of course it's off season and cost was down. Having the indoor pool, Jacuzzi and sauna was wonderful. Clean and spacious. The cabanas and outdoor pool in the winter time was amazing. Coffee was great as was the salmon salad and cocktails. Rooms were clean and spacious with nice views. Staff was great and helpful. We were at the Hampton for two nights of our anniversary and we're looking for a night in some nice comfy hotel. This place was it! We added 2 more nights to our stay and enjoyed every minute. Such a cozy clean hotel. Love the complimentary wine special and discount for the 2 night stay. Also the complimentary hot chocolate everywhere. If we visit Traverse City again, we will stay here. The Christmas decorations were great!

I paid just over $130- for the room rate in the winter, which was honestly a steal for the quality of the hotel. Yes, the coffee bar and mini bar prices are outrageous. The outdoor pool and hot tub weren't open even though they were supposed to be, but I still thought it was a great stay for the price.

A nice hotel, but not up to the standard of other Delamar properties. Rooms are more generic and common areas not as luxe. It’s an older building that was renovated, so there were some constraints including the limited natural light in each room. The on-site restaurant is very good and the lounge experience is lively. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Solid four stars.

Our Traverse City, Michigan wedding (ceremony at St Joseph’s Catholic Church on Old Mission Peninsula to the cocktail hour and reception at Delamar) was everything I could have imagined and more. We first booked Delamar about 18 months before our wedding day and the attention to detail and care from their staff was noticed since day 1 of planning. We made trips to Delamar throughout the planning process for meetings, tastings, and just to relax. The hotel feels Northern Michigan Luxe and offers options for everyone. My favorites include their restaurant, cafe (which just opened!), and the incredible views of the bay. We love Delamar so much that I even had my bachelorette party there and enjoyed their private dining room and incredible summer outdoor patio with live music. On the wedding weekend, we were so pleased to work with all the incredible staff. They make our many guests check-ins a breeze. We even had a family paddle board and kayak day of Delamar’s beach the day before the wedding. The actual cocktail and reception felt like something out of a dream especially with the touches from Thistledown Floral and Event Theory Rentals. The FOOD IS THE BEST!!! We got so many compliments on our wedding menu (the steak + Great Lakes white fish + cherry salad + cheesecake specifically) and how awesome the bar staff was. Truly, everything was perfect. Delamar + Event Team, THANK YOU. We will always be back. Love, The Papalkos (08.09.2025)
