Ada Hotel in Ada

At the Ada Hotel, you’ve got two solid spots to eat, plus the coziest wine bar right next door.

Post Tavern

A go-to for comfort food done right, with burgers, fish and chips, shepherd’s pie, and daily specials.

Rix

This rooftop restaurant brings a little extra polish with small plates, weekend brunch, and big views from the rooftop terrace.

Lark Wine Bar

Adjacent to the Ada hotel, this cozy little hangout’s long list of wines pairs well with their shareable bites.

The Ada Hotel has 36 rooms spread across three floors, with a mix of kings, queens, family bunk rooms, and suites, with some looking out over the Thornapple River.

The space leans warm and natural, with wood tones, local art, and design touches that nod to Ada’s history and landmarks like the covered bridge.

You’ll find thoughtful details throughout, from custom wallcoverings by DeGroot Fine Art to BYREDO toiletries and a Nespresso bar in every room.

There’s also a rooftop terrace, fitness center, pet-friendly rooms, a kids bunkbed room, and a second-floor lounge that doubles as a gathering spot for guests and locals alike.

Downtown Ada, also called Ada Village, sits where the Grand and Thornapple Rivers meet.

It’s walkable and packed with local shops, restaurants, and riverfront parks like Legacy Park and the Ada Covered Bridge.

Trails, patios, and green spaces connect everything, and community events like the farmers market, Music on the Lawn and special seasonal events like Tinsel, Treats and Trolley, keep it active year-round.
