Where Character Meets Luxury
The Ann Arbor area just became more luxurious with the opening of Ann Arbor’s first 4-star hotel, the 188-room The Vanguard Ann Arbor, Autograph Collection.
Premium Downtown Location
Located in the downtown Ann Arbor area, this new nine-story hotel from the Marriott Autograph Collection is poised to be the epitome of rest and relaxation and offers more than 12,000 feet of meeting and banquet space in addition to an elegant restaurant and lobby.
Elevated Meeting Spaces
In each meeting space, attendees will be treated to impeccable service, which begins with valet parking, complimentary Wi-Fi, and catering options. In addition, for those looking to host special occasion events, The Vanguard Hotel will provide unique culinary offerings with customizable menus and partnerships with local businesses in the Ann Arbor area to help curate custom amenities.
Distinguished Dining
The hotel also offers a new French-bistro inspired restaurant called La Serre, which is open for three meals a day. With a charming ambiance, they proudly source local ingredients and offer an extensive wine list and creative cocktails.
“Over the past two decades, I have had the privilege of developing hotels in some of the most dynamic cities in the country, each with its own unique character and sense of place," said Robert Finvarb, founder of Robert Finvarb Companies. "With The Vanguard, we saw an opportunity to create something truly special—an upscale, yet welcoming destination that embodies the intellectual energy and vibrant culture of Ann Arbor. Our goal has always been to develop high-quality hospitality experiences that not only serve travelers but also enhance the communities they're in. We are excited to bring The Vanguard to life and look forward to welcoming guests to this one-of-a-kind hotel.”
The hotel was developed by Finvarb, who put together the design team and construction crew, and he will be the hotel's owner once it is complete.
