Lakecrest LimousineSeptember 2, 2012Unequivocal service that high profile chain hotels cannot deliver. The staff is a pleasure to deal with, formal, proper and professional as one should expect. Enjoy afternoon tea time. Read more
ArtJonakApril 17, 2013http://TownsendHotel.com | In the heart of downtown Birmingham, which is the swankiest of the Detroit suburbs, the areas 'celebrity hotel.' The moment you walk in the door you are treated like a VIP.
Big RedJuly 24, 2012nice morning coffee / tea service. fresh fruit @ reception. 1 of the top 10 best grits in the US (according to me). Balso good breakfast 1 block away @ toast. for a good pub scene try dick o dow's.- James DavidMarch 19, 2016We only came here for a professional event, but the venues was beautiful and the finger foods delicious, staff was incredibly welcoming. Really seems like a great hotel
- The best hotel in Metro Detroit by far. Recently renovated! Great restaurant with an extensive Wine Spectator wine list.
- Best hotel in Birmingham. A luxury hotel top notch! This is where all of the professional teams stay while plying the Pistons, and Tigers.
- Whip Hand CosmeticsJuly 26, 2012Tory Is right. The Townsend is the only boutique hotel in Metro-Detroit. Be sure to check out the fab Birmingham shopping nearby.
- Newly renovated, great restaurant (Rugby Grille), smiling friendly people always willing to help.
Judy MuhnSeptember 9, 2014Always excellent food - even for a huge gathering like the 300+ at the #Inforum event today.
- Service is as good as any five star hotel in the world. Quaint feel with fireplaces in both lobbies.
ToryBurchMay 6, 2011The only boutique hotel in town. A bit formal—traditional European decor, an afternoon tea service—but not overly stuffy. (Your dog is welcome to stay, too.)
Phil MeierApril 26, 2010Really exceptional hotel. Clientele in bar/restaurant was a little eclectic leaning on the old money side of auto. Food was amazing and featured a nice wine list as well. Read more
Mary EllenApril 19, 2012For drinks - belly up to bar at the Rugby Grille. Unless of course you want to be on episode of "Cops" - head to The Corner Bar or South.
joe nolanFebruary 16, 2010Front desk staff is cordial n accommodating. Fitness center open 24hr . Try the duck tacos, legendary in Mich but hold the guacamole!
Pull a couple of chairs up to a fireplace, ask Helal to bring a bottle of bubbly over and Ahhhhh.....
