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.

Chic yet approachable. Historic while tastefully modern.
