Antiquities' Wellington Inn

Wellington Inn Bed & Breakfast - Historic Elegance in Downtown Traverse City

Enter the stately mahogany and leaded glass foyer and be transported to an era of quiet, gracious living. The Wellington Inn, a 1905 neo-classical mansion built by a local lumber baron, has been meticulously restored to its original grandeur, offering nine luxurious guest rooms in the main house plus two fully equipped 2-bedroom carriage house apartments.

Each uniquely decorated guest room features period antiques, private bath, central air, wireless internet, and a story from the original Hull family who called this mansion home. Choose from rooms with whirlpool tubs, private balconies, fireplaces, and authentic Victorian furnishings including 9-foot tall beds and rare Eastlake furniture. The Woolsey Suite, originally servants' quarters, has become a romantic favorite for anniversaries and honeymoons. Inn guests enjoy a sumptuous full breakfast served daily in the turn-of-the-century dining room.

For extended stays or families seeking independence, our two restored carriage house apartments offer a home away from home. The Art Deco apartment features two bedrooms each with a queen bed and two bathrooms.  The French Country apartment offers two bedrooms each with a queen bed and one bathroom.  Both apartments include full kitchens, washer/dryer, living rooms with TV, and a private balcony overlooking the garden in the Art Deco. Breakfast is available to carriage house guests for an additional charge.

Enjoy complimentary refreshments in the guest kitchen off the third-floor ballroom, which also hosts retreats and special events. Located in a quiet historic neighborhood, you're just two blocks from downtown beaches, restaurants, boutiques, galleries, and everything Traverse City offers.

Whether seeking a romantic getaway, family vacation, or leisurely exploration of Northern Michigan, the Wellington Inn provides unmatched historic elegance with modern comfort. Our gracious innkeepers ensure a memorable stay in this downtown jewel.
