Final exams and graduation are only about a month away for students at University of Michigan and Eastern Michigan University. Congrats to the graduating classes of 2017! Since many students come from all over the country, all over the world even, it isn’t too early to start thinking about your travel plans.

As proud parents descend on Ann Arbor to take their students home for the summer, there is plenty to do around town to turn that weekend into a “Goodbye Ann Arbor” celebration. Book your overnight stays at the Ann Arbor Regent today because hotels are extremely in demand on Graduation weekends. Since many parents will be flying in to pick up their students, you may want to consider our Uber Stay and Ride Package to make getting around Ann Arbor a little easier. See the details here.

There are a plethora of great restaurants to choose from for your graduation dinner. If you’re having a craving for Cheddar Bay Biscuits, there is a Red Lobster directly across the street from our hotel. If you’d rather venture to downtown, it’s only a five to ten minute Uber or Lyft ride from our hotel to Main Street where you can find just about anything you’re craving. Some of our downtown favorites include:

Palio (Italian)

Real Seafood Company

Prickly Pear (Southwest)

Grizzly Peak (Brewery)

Red Hawk (Bar & Grill)

Blue Nile (Ethiopian)

Vinology (Wine Bar and World Cuisine)
