About Sugar Beach Resort Hotel Traverse City
Wake up to bayfront views and a private stretch of sand at Sugar Beach Resort Hotel Traverse City.
Sugar Beach Resort Hotel sits directly on the golden sands of East Grand Traverse Bay, offering a relaxed lakeside atmosphere just minutes from downtown Traverse City. The property blends casual comfort with easy access to Michigan’s most scenic shoreline. Guests wake to shimmering views across the bay, with many rooms featuring private balconies or patios that open to the water. Mornings begin with a complimentary continental breakfast before a swim in the indoor pool or a walk down to the resort’s private beach, where chairs and umbrellas line the shore.
The hotel’s design favors simplicity and ease—bright, spacious rooms equipped with mini-fridges, microwaves, and coffee makers for quick snacks between outings. An indoor hot tub and small fitness area provide spots to recharge after exploring. With free parking, Wi-Fi, and elevator access, the stay remains as practical as it is scenic.
