    Exceptional hotel with luxurious rooms xx and amenities.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    They moved me to another room due to street noise.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Second stay at the Townsend and it was even better. They make you feel special and the hotel is first class. Plus a Michelin-grade restaurant makes this my must stay spot

    Top-notch

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The best hotel in the Detroit metro area hands down! A stunning property and so beautifully kept. Birmingham is a pristine little town and The Townsend so well immaculately situated in its heart. Walk to anywhere. The staff is second to none. I flew in for the Jack White concert, and came back to my hometown, and everyone was so warm and friendly and kind to me. So memorable. Thank you Townsend!!

    The staff is the best part about staying at the Townsend. This is old money. They have incredibly well trained staff and just plain knowledgeable, helpful, and kind people. If you're looking for a great experience in Birmingham, stay here!

    Staff was amazing

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Staff was exceptionally efficient and gracious, especially Kevin who somehow remembered our names every day. Beautiful rooms, most excellent snacks. We were only 2 days away from the dining room re-opening after renovation, so we will have to come back!! Thank you!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The 40 dollar valet fee was a little more than expected… for staying one night

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Very nice day! We will definitely go back

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    I was quite disappointed in our stay. I have heard such amazing things about the Townsend. So my husband I decided to stay here for our anniversary. The bed was so insanely uncomfortable and felt like sleeping on a hard wood surface, except for the huge dip in the bed made me realize it wasn’t wood. The Bose radio station was super dusty, as was the remote. It didn’t work anyway. The pillows were super flat and uncomfortable. For a hotel like the Townsend, I really expected plush comfy beds and pillows. I don’t think I’d ever stay here again!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great hotel except the shower has very little water pressure… shower itself needed caulking replaced. Otherwise nice staff, comfy bed.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Room 552 is a very poor room.
