The location of this hotel is perfect for ballgames and Greektown. The staff is nice and eager to please....our check in was a breeze. The rooms are very nice, with a sunken bedbroom and HUGE bathroom with nice Gilchrest & Soames products. It was an easy walk to the baseball game, so we didn't use the free shuttle. Got the... More

This isn't the Detroit I remember. I went to Detroit for a couple days in February to meet some family and catch a Red Wings Game. The Atheneum exceeded my expectations. The rooms had a unique layout with columns in it. It was clean and well appointed. The room service from the adjacent Fishbones was supurb. There was even sushi... More

From the minute that you walk into the splendid lobby of the Ateneum, you can tell that this hotel is super! If you are looking for spacious suites and first-class accommodations in Detroit, the Ateneum is for you. The room layout was terrific and comfortable. You enter into a living room with couch, desk, television and then a wide hallway... More

This is the best hotel I've EVER went to. It is very clean, and perfect for people to get away for peace and quietness. I went there with my family and we had a great time. The bathrooms were very big, and the bathtubs were so comfortable, they're bathtubs have little armrests in there, so it feels like you're at... More

I stayed at the Atheneum when I came to Detroit for a concert. From the moment I pulled up the service was superb. Although the Fishbones restaraunt was being remodeled, room service was still available from 6pm to 6 am and the continental breakfast was still served. I arranged for a shuttle to the theatre at 7, and they were... More

My husband, sister-in-law and I stayed at the Atheneum Suites during Memorial Day weekend. We were in town for FUSE-in/DEMF, which is why we wanted to stay in Greektown rather than the hotels across the street from the festival. The staff was very polite and accommodating. Our flight arrived around 6 am, and although check-in wasn't until the afternoon, they... More

I've stayed at many nice hotels, and if you are going to have to stay in downtown Detroit this is the place. We experienced none of the complaints that others had regarding dirty rooms or bathrooms, unfriendly staff, or stale smoke smell. Staff was friendly and helpful, room service arrived in the expected time, bathroom was clean and spacious, no... More

About a year ago I visited the Atheneum for a conference and have never seen a hotel conference center much like it. From the valet parking as you enter, to the courteous door man as you enter and leave there is the most polite employees. The hotel is connected to one of Ted and Maria's quite renound restaurants Fishbones Rhythem... More
