1. The Inn at 97 Winder

Another room contains vintage furniture that uses a widely colorful palette of fuchsia, baby blue and deep blue velour. The Inn at 97 has restored and maintained the lavish elegance that the manor possessed a century and a half ago. It’s also available for weddings and other events.

Inn, Hotel

Renovating four mansions and two carriage houses, the Inn on Ferry Street was designed and restored to Victorian elegance. Guests can decide which of the four mansions they would like to stay in, and the Inn accommodates if space allows. Each of the rooms is individually designed, and most of them include a jacuzzi. The hotel is in walking distance of the Detroit Institute of Arts and the Motown Museum, and it serves a full breakfast each day and offers a free shuttle.

4. Winder Street Inn

Hotel

Originally, 234 Winder was a late 19th-century home for the Schloss family. Now, over a century later, 234 Winder is a quaint bed and breakfast on the edge of an upscale boom. This inn offers the comfort of a home, instead of the sometimes impersonal hotel room. With each room differing from the other, 234 Winder Street creates a time machine, taking its guests back to the 19th century with its Victorian design. It has been officially declared one of Detroit’s historic sites, making a stay here historically profound. There are also year-round tours available of the Inn.

5. MotorCity Casino Hotel

8. Hotel St Regis

The Hotel St. Regis, located near Detroit’s historic Fisher Building, is a casual yet stylish hotel in a location surrounded by theatre and music.

Hotel St. Regis also includes a restaurant, fitness center and shuttle service.

9. Honor and Folly

Bed and Breakfast, Hotel

Located in historic Corktown, about three miles (5km) away from Midtown, this highly recommended hotel is a must-stay. Surrounded by friendly restaurants and neighbors, the location is ideal for any vacation. Designer Meghan McEwen envisioned the space, and after renovating the abandoned building that now is Honor & Folly, McEwen and family began a successful inn-keeping business. The two-room inn was intentionally designed to creatively inspire guests. With brick walls and carefully placed trinkets, Honor & Folly’s design will undoubtedly make any guest feel completely at home.
