The scene:
Step in through our massive archway doors and admire the details inside this historic building, still standing proud after all these years. Overhead, the soaring ceilings stretch on and on, while hundreds of light bulbs hang like setting suns over the downstairs bar. From the cool, uncluttered lobby, head down art-adorned hallways to your inviting room, and rest assured you’re enjoying an authentic Detroit experience. Welcome to the Detroit Foundation Hotel.
Standout venue features:
Surrounded by the cloud-scraping buildings of Downtown, our fifth floor event space offers head-turning views and a breezy balcony, as well as a hypnotic light installation by local artist Patrick Ethen. This space also features sweeping skyline views of the city, an outdoor terrace that can hold up to 15 people, auto-visual capabilities, and complimentary wi-fi.
