Bavarian-Themed, Family-Oriented Hotel
Review From: NexTag Editorial Review, Jun 9, 2008
Located in the heart of Frankenmuth,
Michigan, The Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn
Lodge is the largest Bavarian-themed
hotel in the country. This family-
resort hotel is surrounded by shops and
restaurants and all things German. The
Glockenspiel Tower, with its
illuminated clock and 35-bell carillon,
is located right outside the hotel.
Every hour and quarter hour, guests can
watch the moving figurines of the tower
come alive as the bells chime.
The hotel?s German authenticity extends
down to the smallest details. The 360
guest rooms are infused with the
histories of the local German settlers.
Each room is decorated with a family?s
history ? pictures of their home,
family members, and baptismal and
marriage certificates.
But the main attraction, besides German
history, is the hotel?s amenities.
Being a family hotel catering to kids,
the property features five pools, an 18-
hole mini golf course, four tennis
courts, and a game room that takes up
almost the entire ground floor. If a
kid-oriented atmosphere is not what
you?re geared for, the Bavarian Inn
Lodge might not be the best choice.
Families with small children, however,
will be kept busy for days and have a
great time.
