About Ann Arbor

What are the best hotels in Ann Arbor?

Ann Arbor is a lively university city in southeastern Michigan, around 30 minutes from Detroit, known for its leafy streets, historic campus, independent shops and excellent food and arts scene. It's a fun choice for a weekend away, whether you're visiting the University of Michigan or fancy exploring somewhere with plenty of character. Graduate Ann Arbor is our top pick, thanks to its playful interiors, welcoming atmosphere and central location.

Ann Arbor has a lovely independent spirit, with lots to keep you busy beyond the university. Spend time wandering the historic University of Michigan campus, browse the bookshops and cafes along Main Street, or pick up local produce at the Ann Arbor Farmers Market. Culture lovers should make time for the University of Michigan Museum of Art and a show at the historic Michigan Theatre. Nichols Arboretum is lovely for an afternoon outdoors, while the Huron River offers opportunities for kayaking and riverside walks. If you're visiting during football season, try to catch a game at Michigan Stadium, before heading downtown for craft beers, cocktails and a lively evening out.
