The Townsend Hotel

For a luxury hotel stay in Detroit, you need to leave the city (at least until the Westin Book-Cadillac Hotel opens later this year). Until then, visitors need to travel to Birmingham, Mich., home to the elegant Townsend Hotel. Rooms are plush and decidedly old school, with fireplaces, overstuffed chintz chairs, and chandeliers. Business travelers can enjoy a 24-hour business center and ample space for meetings and conferences. The largest suites have fully equipped kitchens, but if guests don’t feel like cooking, they can tuck into classic fare like steak and ribs at the in-house Rugby Grille. Rooms start at $265.
