03 / The story of this place
What’s it like to stay here?
The Bell Tower has stood across from the University of Michigan's central campus since 1947, and the Ann Arbor hotel family Dahlmann Properties runs it. Its 66 rooms, including suites with atrium or parlor layouts, have an old-world, wood-paneled feel. Breakfast is included and parking is valet only. Hill Auditorium, the Diag and State Street are a short walk, which makes it a natural pick for concerts, graduation and Michigan football weekends.
