The Inn at 97 Winder

Charming Boutique Stay in the Heart of Detroit

Modern and elegant with a historic twist, The Inn at 97 Winder is a beautifully restored Victorian mansion located right in the center of Detroit. This boutique hotel offers a quiet, upscale atmosphere just minutes from the city’s top concert venues, making it a perfect base for music lovers.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just a short walk or quick ride from iconic spots like The Fillmore, Saint Andrews Hall, and the Masonic Temple Theater, this inn is all about location, location, location. Despite its central setting, guests rave about the peaceful garden and quiet nights — ideal for winding down after a high-energy show. With check-in at 4 PM and a relaxed vibe, it’s easy to settle in before heading out for the night.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking to explore Detroit’s music scene together
• Solo travelers chasing that dream concert experience

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, guests appreciate being steps away from local eateries offering everything from late-night bites to hangover-curing brunches. The hotel’s central location means you’ll find coffee shops, cafes, and casual dining within easy walking distance. Though there’s no 24/7 room service, the in-room comfort and nearby options make up for it.

Nightlife Options

You're minutes from some of Detroit’s best nightlife — whether that’s catching another set at a nearby jazz club, sipping craft cocktails at a rooftop lounge, or grabbing a late drink at a cozy dive bar. The area is known for its live music venues and buzzing nightlife, all easily accessible on foot or by short rideshare.

What People Say

Guests love the charming, historic feel of the property, with many noting the beautifully restored interiors and helpful staff. The location gets top marks for being close to everything without feeling hectic. Many reviewers also highlight the peaceful garden area as a standout feature.

Areas for Improvement

Some rooms are on the smaller side, and there’s no elevator — something to keep in mind if stairs are a concern. Parking is available but comes at an extra charge, so budget accordingly. Also, no on-site food options means planning ahead for meals.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers looking for a stylish, quiet, and centrally located stay in Detroit, The Inn at 97 Winder strikes the perfect balance between charm and convenience.
