The Spotlight on Bell Tower Hotel

Classic Comfort Just Steps from Ann Arbor's Live Music Scene


Set right in downtown Ann Arbor, the Bell Tower Hotel blends traditional charm with modern comforts. Located across from the University of Michigan and within walking distance to the city’s top entertainment spots, this hotel offers a warm, boutique vibe perfect for a music-filled getaway. Guests enjoy free WiFi, complimentary hot breakfast, and the convenience of being just minutes from Ann Arbor’s bustling concert venues.

Why Concert-goers love it


Location is everything—and the Bell Tower Hotel delivers. You’re just a 5-minute walk to downtown’s live music venues, restaurants, and bars. After the show, you’ll appreciate the quiet, restful atmosphere and easy access to late-night eats. With a 24-hour fitness center and business center, plus a check-in time of 4:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM, there’s flexibility to suit your concert schedule.

Who this Hotel is great for


  • Groups of friends heading to a show and looking to stay downtown
  • Solo travelers chasing a dream gig
  • Couples making a weekend of music and dining
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert place to relax
  • Budget-conscious music fans who still want style and location

Food and Drink Options


While the hotel doesn’t have a full-service restaurant, guests enjoy a free hot breakfast—a lifesaver after a late night. You’re also just steps from walkable local restaurants offering late-night bites. There’s no room service, but downtown Ann Arbor’s vibrant dining scene more than makes up for it.

Nightlife Options


While the hotel itself doesn’t have an on-site bar, you’re surrounded by buzzing nightlife. From craft cocktail lounges to relaxed pubs with live music, your post-show plans are covered without needing a ride. The University area brings a youthful energy, perfect for a nightcap or two.

What People Say


According to reviews, guests love the hotel’s charming décor, friendly staff, and unbeatable location near campus and entertainment. Many mention the clean, quiet rooms and the bonus of a free, hot breakfast. The classic style and walkability get high marks from concert-goers and weekend travelers alike.

Areas for Improvement


This hotel leans more historic than high-tech—so if you’re looking for ultra-modern design, you might find the décor a bit traditional. Parking can feel a little tight, and while there’s no bar or restaurant on-site, the nearby options help fill the gap.

The Bottom Line


If you're heading to a concert in Ann Arbor and want to stay right in the heart of the action without sacrificing peace and comfort, the Bell Tower Hotel is a top choice.

Cheryl, Wyoming, visiting Michigan Theater Ann Arbor

Wonder for the free valet parking and very helpful staff. Close to lots of food and other places. We went to the Fab Faux concert and that walk was less than four minute to the Michigan Theatre.

Liked: Breakfast buffet is worth the overnight stay. Wonderful, helpful staff that was better than any restaurant.
Disliked: Air conditioner compressor tick loudly when powered on. Staff turned off unit.

Great location but disappointing customer...

Liked: The location was great and staff were very friendly. The air conditioning was not working well the first night, but this was fixed quickly when I let them know in the morning
Disliked: There were three main reasons I scored this property low1. I left my wireless headphones in the room when I left, I have emailed them several times and not heard back, I would be happy to pay for postage if they could email me back 2. I inadvertently double booked the room on a booking app, even though the hotel was not full I was still charged for the extra room I mistakenly booked but did not stay in 3. there is no fridge in the room - which I thought would be be standard

Would definitely stay here again....

Liked: Breakfast was great. We loved the location. The front desk staff and valet were wonderful!
Disliked: The room was a little small/ "Euro" sized. We wish we could've made it cooler at night but it was an extraordinarily warm weekend.

A cozy room for the...

Liked: This hotel is a cozy and tiny gem in Ann Arbor, located just few minutes walk from the main attractions provided by the University of Michigan. The room is very comfortable and wide, with a large bathroom. The bed is comfortable and a selection of pillows is available. The staff is extremely kind and provide for any need the guest has. The fitness center (one treadmill, one elliptical, one multipower structure, some free weights, one bench) is small but definitely functional. The breakfast is awesome and always warm, it surely makes you feeling full. I appreciated my stay and I would suggest the hotel for the proximity of museums, the University, downtown, restaurants.
Disliked: Everything was good.
