Ada, MI

Downtown Ada’s newest attraction, a 36-room boutique hotel, is quickly making a name for itself. The Ada Hotel features exceptional hospitality, top-tier dining experiences, and impressive views of the Thornapple River. At the helm of its culinary program is Executive Chef Jason Tilmann, a seasoned professional with a diverse background in fine dining, international cuisine, and high-end hospitality.

An Ann Arbor native, Tilmann’s culinary career began with humble roots— often choosing to help his mom in the kitchen over his dad with manual labor outside. His passion for cooking flourished while attending culinary school in Florida, where he apprenticed at local golf clubs. There he was able to establish mentors in Chef Jose Faria and later Chef Hidemasa Yamamoto who provided him with many opportunities. His journey took him to New York City and beyond working at some of the world’s most prestigious restaurants and hotels, from Daniel Boulud’s Daniel and Le Cirque to Marina Bay Sands in Singapore and Mandarin Oriental in Tokyo.
