Bloomfield Hills Hotels: Where to Stay in Michigan

Looking for the best hotels in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan? Start with one important detail: several hotels marketed toward this area are not actually in Bloomfield Hills. The Townsend Hotel is in downtown Birmingham, The Kingsley is in Bloomfield Hills, and the most practical chain-hotel alternatives are in Novi. The right choice depends on whether you want walkable dining, easy access to Cranbrook, an indoor pool, highway access, or a lower price category.

This guide compares the most useful current options, explains where each hotel is located, and shows when staying in nearby Novi makes sense. Hotel rates, availability, parking fees, pet rules, breakfast, pool access, and event policies can change, so confirm those details directly before booking.

Quick recommendations: Choose The Townsend for a polished luxury stay in downtown Birmingham. Choose The Kingsley when being in Bloomfield Hills and near Cranbrook matters most. Choose DoubleTree by Hilton Detroit Novi or Hilton Garden Inn Detroit/Novi when an indoor pool, chain-hotel services, or highway access are more important than staying in the community itself.

Which city should you stay in?

Bloomfield Hills is a suburban community north of Detroit with limited hotel inventory. The city is a good base for Cranbrook Art Museum, Cranbrook House & Gardens, local schools, and nearby Oakland County destinations. The Kingsley is the clearest choice for travelers who want a hotel address in Bloomfield Hills itself.

Birmingham is directly adjacent and offers a walkable downtown setting with restaurants, shops, and The Townsend Hotel. Although The Townsend is often included in a Bloomfield Hills hotel search, its address is 100 Townsend Street, Birmingham, Michigan 48009. It is a strong alternative if you want downtown dining and a luxury hotel, but it is not a Bloomfield Hills property.

Novi is farther west and usually offers more chain hotels, shopping, event venues, and highway access. It can be a sensible alternative when Bloomfield Hills rooms are sold out or priced above your budget. The tradeoff is that you will probably want a car or rideshare for Cranbrook, Birmingham, and other Bloomfield Hills activities. Rough planning estimates put local trips to Birmingham at about 10 to 25 minutes, trips to downtown Detroit at about 20 to 40 minutes or more, and trips to Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport at about 25 to 45 minutes. Traffic and event dates can change those times considerably.

1. The Kingsley Bloomfield Hills, a DoubleTree by Hilton

Address: 39475 Woodward Avenue, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan 48304.

The property formerly associated with the name The Kingsley Inn is now presented as The Kingsley Bloomfield Hills, a DoubleTree by Hilton. Check the current official Hilton listing when booking so you select the correct property and not an old directory page.

This is the best choice for travelers who want to stay in Bloomfield Hills rather than Novi. Its Woodward Avenue location is also useful for visitors going to Cranbrook. One current hotel listing places Cranbrook Art Museum about 2.5 miles away, or roughly an eight-minute drive, although traffic and the exact route affect the trip.

The hotel has multiple on-site dining outlets, making it easier to eat without driving after arrival. It also has meeting and event facilities, with current listings describing nine meeting rooms and about 15,405 square feet of event space. That makes it a practical option for business gatherings, receptions, and guests attending local events.

Parking is listed as free self parking. Breakfast is available for an additional charge. Sources disagree about whether the hotel currently has an indoor pool, so do not rely on older travel pages if a pool is important to your booking. Confirm pool status, hours, accessibility features, pet rules, and room details directly with the hotel.

Choose The Kingsley if: you want the most direct hotel base for Cranbrook, need meeting space, or prefer a full-service hotel in Bloomfield Hills.

Consider another hotel if: you require a confirmed pool, a walkable downtown Birmingham location, or a budget-focused stay. Also confirm whether a specific restaurant or amenity is operating on your dates.

2. The Townsend Hotel

Address: 100 Townsend Street, Birmingham, Michigan 48009.

The Townsend is the strongest luxury option in this group, but it is in Birmingham, not Bloomfield Hills. Its location puts guests close to downtown Birmingham restaurants, boutiques, and galleries. That setting is more walkable than the Novi alternatives and may suit couples, special occasions, business travelers, and guests attending events in Birmingham.

The hotel has the on-site Rugby Grille, a higher-end restaurant that gives guests a convenient dining option without leaving the property. Breakfast and room service availability should be confirmed for your dates. The hotel also lists complimentary high-speed internet and electric-vehicle charging, including Tesla and universal charging equipment.

The Townsend does not have an on-site swimming pool. It also should not be described as a spa hotel without qualification. The current information reviewed for this guide confirms luxury accommodations and dining, but not a full on-site spa operation. Ask the hotel about any current partnerships or nearby treatments instead of assuming spa services are included.

Valet parking is listed at $40 per night. Other parking rates may apply for shorter stays. The pet policy allows dogs, with a listed non-refundable pet deposit and daily cleaning fee. Cats and other pets are not listed as permitted. Confirm the current fee, dog restrictions, accessible room features, and cancellation policy before booking.

Choose The Townsend if: you want luxury service, an elegant restaurant, walkable downtown Birmingham, or a special-occasion hotel.

Consider another hotel if: you need a pool, want to be in Bloomfield Hills proper, need free parking, or are traveling with a pet other than a dog.

3. DoubleTree by Hilton Detroit Novi

Address: 42100 Crescent Boulevard, Novi, Michigan 48375.

This DoubleTree is in Novi, not Bloomfield Hills. It is a practical alternative for travelers who want a recognizable full-service chain hotel, highway access, and a generally more functional base for exploring several parts of metro Detroit.

Current hotel information lists an indoor pool, fitness center, on-site restaurant, free self parking, free Wi-Fi, and electric-vehicle charging. Breakfast is available for an additional fee and is described as a buffet. Check-in is listed at 3 p.m., with check-out at 11 a.m.

The hotel does not accept pets according to the current information reviewed for this guide. That policy matters for travelers comparing it with other chain properties. Families may value the indoor pool, while business travelers may prefer the highway access and on-site services. However, staying here means driving to Cranbrook, downtown Birmingham, and most Bloomfield Hills destinations.

Choose DoubleTree by Hilton Detroit Novi if: you want an indoor pool, free parking, breakfast availability, and a convenient Novi base.

Consider another hotel if: you want to walk to Bloomfield Hills attractions, need a pet-friendly room, or want the shortest drive to Cranbrook.

4. Hilton Garden Inn Detroit/Novi

Address: 27355 Cabaret Drive, Novi, Michigan 48377.

Hilton Garden Inn Detroit/Novi is another Novi alternative. It is just off I-96, near Fountain Walk dining and entertainment, and about one mile from Twelve Oaks Mall according to the current Hilton location information. This makes it useful for shopping trips, business travel, and visitors attending events in the Novi area.

The hotel lists an indoor pool and free parking. The Garden Grille and Bar serves American food, including breakfast and dinner. Breakfast is available for an extra charge, with current listed hours of 6 to 10 a.m. on weekdays and 7 to 11 a.m. on weekends. Check-in starts at 3 p.m., and check-out is listed at noon.

This hotel can work well for travelers who want to stay near restaurants and entertainment without paying for a luxury address. It is not the most convenient base for walking around Bloomfield Hills, and a car or rideshare is the practical choice for Cranbrook and Birmingham. Confirm the current pet policy, meeting facilities, fitness center details, and accessible room options directly with Hilton before booking.

Choose Hilton Garden Inn Detroit/Novi if: you want an indoor pool, free parking, nearby shopping, and a restaurant on the property.

Consider another hotel if: your main reason for visiting is Cranbrook or downtown Birmingham and you want to minimize driving.

What happened to the Courtyard by Marriott Detroit Novi listing?

The earlier version of this guide recommended a Courtyard by Marriott Detroit Novi/Bloomfield Hills. I could not verify a current official Marriott listing for a property with that exact name during this update. The Marriott result reviewed was for Courtyard by Marriott Detroit Livonia, a different hotel in a different city. For that reason, this guide does not present the Courtyard listing as a current Bloomfield Hills or Novi recommendation. Always confirm the exact hotel name and address before booking from an online travel site.

Best hotels near Cranbrook attractions

Cranbrook is one of the main reasons travelers search for hotels in Bloomfield Hills. Cranbrook Art Museum is at 39221 Woodward Avenue, Bloomfield Hills. The museum lists free visitor parking behind the building, along the turning circle, and at the Institute of Science parking ramp. Its current public hours are Wednesday through Sunday, with evening hours on Thursday, but confirm hours and admission before visiting.

Cranbrook House & Gardens is at 380 Lone Pine Road, Bloomfield Hills. The gardens have seasonal self-guided visiting hours and free parking in the main lot or along Lone Pine Road. Cranbrook House itself opens for scheduled tours and special events, which may require registration or paid admission.

The Kingsley is the most convenient hotel in this guide for Cranbrook because it is in Bloomfield Hills on Woodward Avenue. The Townsend is a short cross-city drive from the campus but gives you a Birmingham base. Novi hotels are workable alternatives when price, availability, or highway access matters more than proximity.

Booking advice for Bloomfield Hills hotels

Compare the total cost, not only the advertised nightly rate. Ask about parking, pet fees, breakfast charges, resort or destination fees, early check-in, and cancellation rules. Rates can rise during weddings, graduations, conferences, holidays, sports events, and busy summer weekends.

Booking directly with the hotel can make it easier to ask about room accessibility, connecting rooms, cribs, rollaway beds, quiet rooms, and special event blocks. Online travel agencies can make comparison shopping easier, but the reservation terms and support process may differ from a direct booking. Read the cancellation deadline carefully and confirm the hotel address before paying.

Travelers without a car should prioritize The Townsend or The Kingsley based on the trip area, then check rideshare availability. Public transit is not usually the easiest way to connect Bloomfield Hills, Birmingham, Novi, Cranbrook, and Detroit attractions. A rental car is often the simplest option, especially for visitors staying in Novi.

FAQs about staying near Bloomfield Hills

Is The Kingsley in Bloomfield Hills or Novi?

The Kingsley Bloomfield Hills, a DoubleTree by Hilton, is at 39475 Woodward Avenue in Bloomfield Hills. It is not the same location as the DoubleTree by Hilton Detroit Novi at 42100 Crescent Boulevard in Novi.

What is the best luxury hotel near Bloomfield Hills?

The Townsend is the clearest luxury choice in this guide. It is in Birmingham, not Bloomfield Hills, and offers an elegant setting, walkable downtown access, and the on-site Rugby Grille. It is not the best fit for travelers who need a pool or free parking.

Which hotels have indoor pools?

Current information lists indoor pools at DoubleTree by Hilton Detroit Novi and Hilton Garden Inn Detroit/Novi. Pool information for The Kingsley is inconsistent across travel sources, so confirm it directly before booking. The Townsend does not have an on-site swimming pool.

Are there spa hotels in Bloomfield Hills?

Do not assume that The Townsend includes a full on-site spa. The hotel is known for luxury rooms and dining, but current information reviewed for this guide does not verify a full spa operation. Ask the hotel about nearby treatments or current partnerships if spa access is important.

Do you need a car in Bloomfield Hills?

A car is helpful for most trips, especially if you stay in Novi or plan to visit Cranbrook, Birmingham, Detroit, and several Oakland County attractions. The Townsend is the most walkable option for downtown restaurants and shops. Rideshare may work for individual trips, but confirm availability and allow extra time during events.

What is the best time to visit Bloomfield Hills?

Summer and early fall are popular for gardens, outdoor events, and weekend trips. Fall brings colorful foliage, while winter can be quieter and may offer better hotel availability. The best dates depend on your plans, but book early for weddings, graduations, major events, and holiday weekends.

How to choose your Bloomfield Hills hotel

Book The Kingsley if being in Bloomfield Hills and staying close to Cranbrook are your main priorities. Choose The Townsend if you want a luxury hotel and walkable access to downtown Birmingham. Compare DoubleTree by Hilton Detroit Novi and Hilton Garden Inn Detroit/Novi when you need an indoor pool, free parking, chain-hotel services, shopping access, or more availability.

The most important step is checking the address. A hotel marketed for the Bloomfield Hills area may actually be in Birmingham or Novi. Compare the total price, parking, breakfast, pool, pet, accessibility, and cancellation details before booking. That small amount of planning can help you choose a hotel that fits your trip instead of simply choosing the closest search result.
