Boutique Hotels in Detroit

Detroit is trendy and our boutique hotels speak to our style. If you’re staying downtown, take your pick from the Aloft Detroit at the David Whitney, the El Moore Lodge, Trumbull & Porter, the Detroit Foundation Hotel, the Inn on Ferry Street or The Siren. Whether your taste is modern, rustic, industrial or classically chic, you’ll find the most unique properties in The D.

The Aloft offers bright, bold colors and modern design, while honoring the history of the David Whitney building. The Siren takes a minimalist approach and offers unique dining and drink options, like the Candy Bar Detroit. The Foundation is straight up sleek – with industrial design blended with reclaimed Detroit wood. Their restaurant, the Apparatus Room, is enough to make a trip to the Foundation an overnight stay. The Inn on Ferry Street takes a different approach- their Victorian homes and carriage houses make you forget you’re staying in the heart of a bustling city. Trumbull & Porter has a hipster feel paired with excellent eats at Red Dunn Kitchen. El Moore Lodge has incredible views and a log-cabin feel, there’s nothing quite like it.

And that’s not where our Detroit boutique hotel adventure ends. We still have more trend-setting boutique hotels opening soon. Look out for the Shinola Hotel, Aloft Troy and Element Detroit in the near future. They’re sure to impress.
