When the original Inn opened in 1926 it was born out of need and a partnership between St. Clair’s wealthiest residents and the local Rotary Club. It became a destination for the city’s residents and for vacationers hosting celebrities, secret parties at the height of Prohibition, and, once, 12 weddings in a single weekend. Every stay has a story. We look forward to adding your story to our history.
Our Story
Built on stories from the past – like the one about Jimmy Hoffa and the North Tower or the one about the treasure chest at the bottom of the river just off the boardwalk – the St. Clair Inn is more than what you see. Our curious visitors can go back in time to a speakeasy, celebrate a milestone with friends and family, or relax in the land of blue water. Every stay’s a story…create yours today.
