During your Detroit vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Motown Historical Museum
The Motown sound was born in two simple houses under the sign HITSVILLE U.S.A., and American music has never been the same. See the original control room and studio (with linoleum worn through by tapping feet) where the Supremes, the Temptations, Stevie Wonder, the Jackson 5, and many others made gold records from 1959 to 1972. Also on display are costumes worn by the famous performers; and Berry Gordy's apartment, left just the way it was in the 1960s when artists packed their records for shipment throughout the country. Allow 1 hour.
Detroit Historical Museum
Begin your exploration of Detroit with this repository of the city's history. You can walk a re-created cobblestone and brick street lined with 19th-century shops, and check out the two-story assembly line in the Motor City exhibit. Interactive displays entertain children of all ages. Allow 1 to 2 hours.
Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History
In the mid-1800s, Detroit was a key stop on the Underground Railroad, through which thousands of slaves escaped to Canada. This and other aspects of African-American heritage, from African roots through slavery and civil rights struggles, are celebrated at the world's largest museum of African and African-American history and culture. Allow 1 hour.
Make your reservations for discount hotel rooms in the
Detroit area, including:
Detroit Marriott-Renaissance Center
The Renaissance Center was built in the 1970s as General Motors' headquarters, and the building recalls its automotive history in a ground-floor classic car museum. A $100-million refurbishing in 2000 added a large glass atrium called the Wintergarden -- just the spot for casual dining, shopping, and riverfront views. The hotel sits in the heart of downtown adjacent to the People Mover and a food and shopping court. The comfortable rooms have all the expected amenities; those on the upper floors provide great views of the Detroit River and Windsor.
The Dearborn Inn
The Dearborn Inn opened its doors in 1931 as the world's first airport hotel, located right across the street from Ford Airport. The airport has long since closed, but this historic inn remains popular, known for its Georgian elegance, first-class service, and business amenities. The 23 acres of meticulously landscaped grounds and gardens make this hotel feel worlds away from the big city. The Henry Ford Museum complex is within walking distance.
The Inn on Ferry Street
The Inn on Ferry Street is actually a collection of four large 19th-century homes and their carriage houses. Once slated for demolition, the buildings were rescued and converted into a charming B&B complex, each with its own parlor with fireplace. The individually decorated rooms have the usual array of modern amenities and up-to-date private bathrooms. The inn is located in the heart of the Cultural Center, within easy walking distance of museums. Complimentary shuttle service is provided within a 5-mile radius.
