During your Detroit vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
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.
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 Institute of Arts
America's sixth largest art museum is undergoing a massive expansion that will leave portions of its collection off-limits until 2006. Brave the sawdust anyway to see some of the world's great masters, including Rembrandt, Rubens, Caravaggio, van Gogh, Cézanne, Whistler, and Rothko. There are also impressive ancient Egyptian, African, Asian, and Native American collections, and Diego Rivera's Detroit Industry murals are must-sees. First Fridays of every month feature free music, tours, artists' demonstrations, and workshops for all ages. Allow 2 to 3 hours.
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.
Best Western Sterling Inn
The Sterling Inn offers great value for families -- clean, comfortable rooms; a kid-friendly staff; and the hotel's chief draw: an indoor water park including a 5,000-square-foot pool, a three-story water slide, a lazy river, two large whirlpools, lots of squirting contraptions, and several lifeguards. More adult activities include an indoor running track and a very nice fitness center. But kids reign at the Sterling Inn, so if you want to avoid children, be forewarned.
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.
