BENZONIA, Mich., Feb. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hotel Frankfort in Benzie County is one of the most distinctive boutique hotels along the coast of Lake Michigan. Located two blocks from Frankfort's exquisite Lake Michigan beach, with sunsets that rival anyplace in the world, the Hotel Frankfort is a shining beacon hosting visitors 365 days a year. The Hotel Frankfort is currently partnering with Crystal Mountain on a "Stay and Ski" package that includes an overnight stay and two daily lift tickets from $200 - $300. The skiing, snowboarding, and spa experience at Crystal Mountain are among the best in the Midwest according to Conde Nast Magazine who named it among the "top ten best ski resorts for families in the U.S. and Canada."

Owned by Judy Remmert, the Hotel Frankfort includes unique rooms, some with jet tubs and Swedish style saunas. It is reminiscent of a European boutique hotel and Remmert was delighted when she found it. "It's everything I wanted. I lived in the Netherlands and Switzerland where every town had a central historic hotel with a restaurant. When I laid eyes this hotel, I knew this was the place for me." The hotel's restaurant has a beautiful dining room, fireplace, nautically designed bar, wine cellar and features signature Americana dishes by former Arcadia Bluffs Golf Club Chef Ronnie Fiel.

Benzie County is one of the top places in Michigan to experience outdoor sports and recreation year-round and is bordered by the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.
It features the quaint villages of Beulah, Benzonia, Elberta, Frankfort, Honor, Lake Ann and Thompsonville for restaurants and shopping. Outdoor activities in spring, summer and fall include fishing, golfing, biking, hiking, running, kayaking, and more.
