Convention Center, Reimagined.
Treetops Resort Unveils $500K Convention Center Renovation Ahead of 2026 Event Season.
When it comes to meetings, conferences, and celebrations that make a lasting impression, the setting matters. And in Northern Michigan, there’s no setting quite like Treetops Resort.
Long known as Michigan’s Most Spectacular Resort and recently named “Resort of the Year” by the Michigan Restaurant and Lodging Association, Treetops is once again raising the bar. This time, it’s with a $500,000 renovation to its Convention Center—slated to debut in December 2025, just in time for the 2026 event season.
A Fresh Vision for Group Events
For decades, planners have chosen Treetops not just for its five championship golf courses or its breathtaking views—but because it offers a complete Up North experience with meeting capabilities that go beyond the boardroom. With this renovation, the Convention Center becomes the centerpiece of that offering.
Construction begins in late October. The plan? A top-to-bottom transformation. New flooring. Plush carpeting. Elevated finishes. Modern lighting. Curated furniture. Artwork that speaks to the landscape outside. Every square foot is being designed with intentionality—infused with the warmth and character that meeting planners have come to expect from Treetops.
But it’s not just about the aesthetics.
“This renovation is about more than a facelift,” says Mike Flynn, Director of Sales. “It’s about creating an environment where people feel inspired to connect, collaborate, and celebrate. We’re recreating spaces that reflect the spirit of Treetops and the needs of our guests.”

The upgraded Convention Center isn’t just beautiful—it’s functional. The space has been reimagined with flexibility in mind, making it equally well-suited for intimate retreats, multi-day conferences, team-building excursions, and everything in between.
And for those looking to align their event with the spirit of the season, few venues offer the year-round versatility of Treetops. Spring retreats bloom with fresh energy. Summer summits soak in long daylight and fresh air. Fall planning sessions are wrapped in golden hardwoods. And winter celebrations sparkle with snow-covered charm.
Pair that with full-service resort amenities—from on-site dining and a full-service spa to hiking trails and indoor pools—and it’s easy to see why business leaders are turning to Treetops to make work feel less like, well, work.
A Commitment to Excellence
The renovation is more than a strategic upgrade—it’s a signal. A declaration that Treetops is committed to growing with the needs of its corporate clients, association groups, and social planners.
Fresh off the honor of being named the 2025 “Resort of the Year,” this Convention Center transformation is the physical embodiment of that momentum. It’s a promise to not only meet expectations, but to exceed them—through hospitality, design, and intentionality.
Plan Ahead. Elevate the Experience.
If you're looking to get a jump on 2026 planning, now’s the time. Site visits are already being scheduled, and early bookings are encouraged.
