Dearborn Inn

Original marble fireplaces, Ford family archives, and a signed note from Walt Disney in the lobby set the tone at this historic hotel on the edge of Dearborn. Rooms are stately and well-kept, and the bar named for Ford's road-trip companions, Edison and Firestone among them, is a genuinely good excuse to stay for one more drink. It's the kind of hotel that takes its own story seriously, which turns out to be more interesting than most.
