The newest addition to the western Michigan skyline is the stunning 15-story hotel at the recently expanded Gun Lake Casino Resort, in Wayland. The hotel was developed at a cost of $300 million and built over three years. Inside its sleek glass exterior are 252 rooms and 30 deluxe suites, designed to be equal parts relaxing and indulgent. The expansion is guided by the Gun Lake Tribe’s desire to create not only a top-tier entertainment destination but also one that honors their cultural heritage. The newly expanded resort is filled with you-have-to-see-it-to-believe-it features. Here are five great ones:
Wawyé Oasis
Every guest of the hotel has access to the Wawyé Oasis, a spectacular 32,000-square-foot tropical paradise housing two swimming pools, real palm trees and always-80-degree weather. Wawyé is a one-of-a-kind attraction in western Michigan. By day, you can enjoy luxurious private cabanas and a swim-up bar. By night, the oasis transforms into a concert venue with fantastic artists, DJ parties and nightlife that goes on as long as you can.
Mnoyé Spa Retreat
Wawyé isn’t the only oasis in the new resort space. With serene surroundings and a tranquil atmosphere, Mnoyé is a calming sanctuary to relax and revitalize. The spa’s state-of-the-art facilities include gooseneck massagers, bubble massage benches, luxurious lounges and VIP suites, and an array of treatments, including massages, facials, body scrubs and nail services. Or you can just unwind in the soothing waters of the Tranquility Pool.
The Ogema Suite
Indulgence and luxury. That’s what you will find in the awe-inspiring two-story Ogema Suite. Inside are two bedrooms, a grand staircase, a residential elevator, spacious bathrooms with specialty showers and a sense of wonder for all who enter. The Ogema Suite is unmatched for living large and embracing the finer things.
Great Spaces for Special Events
Whether it’s an intimate gathering for 20 or a large celebration for up to 1,450 guests, there’s a space for it at Gun Lake Casino Resort.
