Stunning. Make this your next hotel in Detroit. I travel 100+ nights a year for work and this hotel has everything you need. Friendly staff, beautiful cozy decor, coffee shop and restaurant in house, great cozy lobby bar, and a ton of history. Desmon at the Front Desk was FANTASTIC and got me a marvelous suite that was above and beyond. Pick this hotel next, you won't regret it.

Wonderful hotel, new favorite in Detroit! We've stayed at a couple other hotels in Detroit because we have tickets to Red Wings games and this one takes top spot now. This location is perfect. The team that works there are friendly and helpful. Should out to Desmon for going above and beyond during our stay. The rooms are a great size and I love the robes. I also love that it's a historic building that's been well preserved.

My husband and I stayed here for a night out. The hotel was fantastic. We visited during the Christmas season and the tree in the lobby area was beautiful. There was a fireplace in a sitting area near the lobby and a pianist as well. We enjoyed sitting by the fire and listening to the music. Desmond at the front desk was a highlight. He made us feel welcomed. He recommended a few places to eat and visit. We ended up enjoying dinner right across the street at the Statler, which was delicious and convenient. We walked to Cliff Bell’s after dinner and enjoyed some jazz and a few drinks. I’ve already booked another stay in the summer.

Definitely will be my choice next time I'm in Detroit!
