Given there really isn't much to do at Detroit, GM Center is a must. First this is purely an office building.. yes there are shops but very few... mainly for people working there. I really like the river walk outside of the building. Very relaxing. You can go on the 72nd floor free after 5pm. But you can also sign... more

Our race team stays here every year and we love it! The staff is way over the top awesome and there is plenty to do nearby. The Ren Cen is right in the heart of Detroit - which although still has a way to go is really becoming a pretty cool place to hang out - they have really done... more

Our tour guide was very knowledgable and told us about the building of the center and some... more

We recently toured the "RenCen" building, as it is locally known. Haven't been in several years. It is still a complex, confusing building, without much to offer, unless you take a tour or know where you are going. Thus, we took the free, one hour tour, which ended 10 minutes early, and all of our group, except us 2, departed... more

Lobby areas are sort of interesting walking along the terraces between interconnected buildings. There is a display of GM cars downstairs (this is now GM Headquarters) and a food court with the standard offerings (some of which were open on Sunday when downtown is closed). I didn't see any signs that there was an observation area at the top or... more
