Gun Lake Casino Resort
Phase 5 Expansion

Welcome to the
Wawyé Oasis

This beautiful glass atrium spans over 32,000 feet of paradise featuring two distinctive pools during the day and creating an enticing atmosphere for our nightclub and concert in the evening.

An
Outside Perspective

The new hotel will sit at 192 feet tall, with 15 floors from the lower spa and meeting room to the top concierge floor. The Phase 5 exterior materials will continue to incorporate warm wood and mental tones from Gun Lake Casino Resort’s existing facades. A subtle arc on the hotel tower is shaped from the radiating form of the Wawyé Oasis, while the glass skin spanning each window will help reflect the dynamic sky across all four of Michigan’s vivid seasons.

A Look Into
Our Lobby and Bar

As one of our Guests’ first experiences upon entry, the hotel lobby and lobby bar create a striking first impression. Designed around a view of the Wawyé Oasis tropical scenery, the venue is timeless and elegant, yet warm and inviting.

Discover Satisfaction at
Sandhill Café

The Sandhill Café is designed around 137 seats, with a flexible layout for individual and group settings. The three-meal venue will feature the original custom sandhill crane art piece and a dimensional wood wall with textured glass inspired by the sandhill crane feather.

Relax at the
Mnoyé Spa Retreat

Escape the excitement of our casino floor to rest, relax and recharge. The lower level features our spa, spa pool, fitness center and meeting room, dressed in a warm palette inspired by the natural features of Gun Lake. Guests can enjoy gooseneck massagers and bubble massage benches, while our private treatment rooms can whisk you away with customizable lighting and music experiences.

A Step
ABOVE THE REST

One of the grandest features of our expansion, the Two-Story Suite, offers Guests a unique living and entertaining space, with a grand staircase and large focal lighting, balanced by the double-height windows’ breathtaking views of the local landscape. Guests can sleep in two bedrooms with luxurious bathrooms and specialty showers, alongside lounge areas with a wet bar, a billiards table and a residential elevator.

A
Deluxe Experience

Our hotel tower features 252 rooms with 221 modern rooms, 30 suites and one awe-inspiring two-story suite. Each guestroom and suite draws its color palette from the surrounding landscape, with large windows offering scenic views of the natural world.
