The Landmark Inn hosts meetings, corporate dinners, receptions and weddings in downtown Marquette, Michigan, for groups of up to 100 seated guests. The six-story hotel at 230 North Front Street stands steps from the Lake Superior shoreline. It opened in 1930 as the Northland Hotel and has four event rooms, from a 24-seat board room to the Harbor Room.
Seminars and company events
The hotel says it has hosted conferences and corporate functions since 1930, and that a refurbishment added the conference technology that business events need. The Board Room seats 24 and suits executive meetings. The Parlour seats 50 and works for a working dinner or a cocktail reception. The Harbor Room seats 100 and is the largest space for plenary sessions or a company dinner. The Sky Room, on the sixth floor, seats 32.
The catering and banquet team supports each event with menus, beverage packages and audiovisual support. Organizers can send an inquiry from the planning form on the website.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are part of the offer: the inn lists ceremonies, receptions, rehearsal dinners, bridal showers and farewell brunches. The team helps couples compare the event rooms, catering menus, bar options and room blocks, and wedding packages are tailored to each couple. Intimate family gatherings and larger ballroom-style receptions are both mentioned on the weddings page.

The Harbor Room covers 2,208 square feet and seats 100. It has crystal chandeliers, an Italian marble floor, gilded mirrors and a winding brass staircase.

Accommodation
The inn offers rooms and suites, each described as individually decorated. Some have fireplaces, claw-footed tubs or views of Lake Superior, and room types listed on the website include king rooms, two-queen rooms, a two-room suite and a penthouse suite. The pages read do not give the total number of bedrooms, so ask for it with a request, along with room block terms.
Catering
