Expert reviews
“Located in the heart of quaint Birmingham, Michigan, about 20 miles from downtown Detroit, The Townsend Hotel is a quick hop, skip and jump from designer shops and nationally acclaimed art galleries.

All you need to know
The high-end Townsend Hotel resides in the charming town of Birmingham, Michigan, a 20-minute drive north of downtown Detroit. The external architecture might require an acquired taste—the building was constructed in the 1980s, creating an eerie middle ground between historic and modern design.
But just as in other aspects of life, it’s the interior that truly matters when it comes to hotels. Inside the Townsend lies a quintessentially classic luxury hotel, one that gives off the impression of having maintained its current state for at least half a century.
This implies luxurious accommodation equipped with marble restrooms and premium amenities, common areas reminiscent of an antique English rural mansion, and the acclaimed gourmet eatery, the Rugby Grille.
It also entails a classic afternoon tea experience that could easily fit into the Downton Abbey setting, and a traditional drink lounge. Although not within a walkable distance from downtown Detroit, it’s in close proximity to a wide range of superior Detroit’s athletic, cultural, and business interests, which, needless to mention, is an added advantage.
