The Inn at St. John's

COST:

<p>In an upscale suburb halfway between downtown and Ann Arbor, this former seminary and Archdiocese of Detroit headquarters reopened as a 118-room boutique hotel in 2006. A sense of peace still imbues the property, which includes an Italianate medieval chapel that can host 300 guests. Rooms boast 12-foot-high ceilings, beds draped with an inviting mountain of pillows, granite countertops in bathrooms, and views of woods and the hotel's 27-hole golf course. </p> <p><strong>Tip:</strong> With such a chapel, the hotel is a magnet for weddings; avoid weekends unless you don't mind the likelihood of encountering late-night partyers.</p>
