Hello, September. 🌤️⛵️🌊

Summer isn’t over around here. The days are still warm, the water is still calling, and town finally starts to feel a little more breathable.

This is the sweet spot: beach afternoons, patio dinners, ice cream walks, open windows and quieter weekdays with room to slow down and actually enjoy it all.

If you ask us, September might just be one of the best times to be in Saugatuck.

Hello from Saugatuck. August always seems to hold two seasons at once. The lake is still warm, the days are still long, but there’s a subtle shift in the air that has us looking ahead to fall.

And fall in Saugatuck is worth looking forward to. Orchard stops, vineyard afternoons, cooking classes, art workshops, and cooler days made for wandering downtown all have a way of turning a simple weekend away into something a little more memorable.

This month, we’re sharing a few of our favorite ways to pair a fall stay with the best of the season. We’re also introducing our Quiet Season offer for November and December, a two-night escape with more than $200 in added experiences and extras, included at no additional cost.

Consider this your invitation to start planning for the quieter side of Saugatuck. We look forward to welcoming you,
The Hotel Saugatuck

A little something to save for later.

Late summer sunsets. Boats on the water. Warm evenings that seem to last forever.

We know what’s coming next — cooler nights, changing leaves, fireplaces and a different kind of Saugatuck.

But for now, we’re staying right here.

A little hidden, in the best way. 🌳🌷

Tucked behind The Hotel Saugatuck is our back garden — a quiet corner of the property that guests sometimes don’t discover until halfway through their stay.
Bring your morning coffee. Settle in with a good book. Find a little shade and stay awhile.

Downtown Saugatuck may be just a short walk away, but back here, everything feels wonderfully still.

Around Town: A Local’s List — Midweek Dining

Our GM, Brittany, lives and works in Saugatuck, so she knows the summer dinner rush well. On the rare night she’s off the clock, these are the spots she’s heading to — and exactly what she’s ordering.

Phils will always be number one. The food, service and atmosphere simply cannot be beat. If I’m going to wait an hour for a table in the middle of summer, I need to know it’s worth it. Phil’s never disappoints.
Pro tip: Get the special. Whatever it is, just get it.

Everyday People Café
When I’ve spent the day watching an endless stream of cars head into Saugatuck on Lake Street, I’m crossing the bridge and heading to Douglas. EPC is always a favorite.
Order: Chicken Togarashi or the Chilean sea bass. No questions asked.
Pro tip: I love a seat in the front dining room.

The Singapore Room
I dream about the miso halibut. Truly. It takes effort not to eat here multiple times a week. Even without a reservation, you can often grab a seat at the bar, which is one of my favorite ways to experience it.
Also order: The Thai coconut curry.

Wally’s
When I want something casual, this is where I’m headed. Don’t let the laid-back vibe and funky décor fool you — the food is very good.
Order: The wings. Easily some of my favorites in town. Honorable mention goes to the pot roast sandwich.

Noble Twist
Pizza and a beer? Take me here. The outdoor beer garden is a great place to settle in and people-watch for a while.
Is it a little pricey? Sure. But what isn’t in Saugatuck in the summer?

The Barge
For a lighter night, I’m grabbing an appetizer and a drink here for the view. Sometimes that’s all you need.

Midweek is one of my favorite times to eat around town — a little less rush, a little more room, and all the same great food.

Save this one for your next stay.

Meet Singapore.

Located on the first floor of the main house, Singapore leans a little moodier with dark wood, toffee-toned walls, touches of leather, and a warm, tucked-away feel.

A king bed, Jason hydrotherapy tub, and three-sided gas fireplace make it especially well suited for the kind of stay where leaving the room feels entirely optional.

And once the air turns cooler? Even better.
This is the room for slow mornings, long soaks, and settling in for the night.

Art Coast Archives: 900 Lake Street
Before it was The Hotel Saugatuck, this building had already lived many lives.

Its story begins in the early 1860s as the ice house for a brewery established by Samuel and Susan Clipson. In the decades that followed, the property would serve as a tannery, barrel stave mill, door and sash factory, shingle factory and even a boat-building shop.

By 1912, the building had become a boarding house and hotel. It took on the name Twin Gables in 1922, earning a reputation for its restaurant and orchestra — and, according to local lore, even hosting members of Al Capone’s gang during Prohibition.
The building itself was moved a short distance in 1936 to make way for the new Blue Star Highway and bridge access, then restored in 1982 and later listed on the State Register of Historic Places.

In 2016, a Michigan family saw the potential in this storied property and thoughtfully restored it once again, honoring its historic character while giving it a new chapter as The Hotel Saugatuck.

More than 160 years later, guests are still checking in at 900 Lake Street — just with a few more comforts than the brewery days.

Saugatuck has two summer personalities.

Weekends are buzzing. Busy sidewalks, packed patios, boats on the water, and a town fully in its summer rhythm.

Midweek? Same Saugatuck. A little more room to breathe.
An easier walk down Butler Street. Space to spread out at the beach. A better chance at your favorite patio table. And just enough quiet to notice the town around you.

Both have their charm. But if you have the flexibility, midweek might just be Saugatuck’s best-kept summer secret
