The Otis Harbor Springs hotel recently opened in the former Birchwood Inn building located along Michigan’s famed state Route 119 Tunnel of Trees.
The inn’s General Manager Kamron Bijeh-Apple says the hotel takes inspiration from boutique hotels in upstate New York, California, and the Southwest, decorated in what he describes as “a celebration of midcentury design.” Opening with 31 rooms, the Otis will expand in coming years with additional lodging and meeting areas.
“The idea of the property is to be a place to kind of reset your mind, get away, and enjoy nature and the environment,” Bijeh-Apple says.
