Expert reviews

Telegraph review:

“A hip boutique hotel now occupies the once abandoned Wurlitzer building. Though the no-frills rooms could stand some perks, this property drips with charm and reflects Detroit’s rich history. Albena, an intimate eight-seat chef’s counter, and Candy Bar, a pink-ceilinged speakeasy, are destinations in their own right.”

What guests liked

All you need to know

Perhaps no other city in America has experienced as drastic a cycle of prosperity, decline, and resurgence as Detroit. The Siren Hotel serves as a perfect embodiment of Detroit’s initial era of flourishing prosperity.

Its lobby and public areas, designed in the retro Italian Renaissance style, deviate from the expected industrial aesthetic, taking their cues instead from the original design of the building. This skyscraper, which originally housed the Wurlitzer headquarters, was established in 1926 when such grandeur was considered cutting-edge.

The design of the rooms at The Siren draws from the vibrant spirit of the Roaring Twenties, yet they are modern creations with a slightly more austere sense of style.

Despite their stylishness, they do not compromise on comfort — expect Italian linen and hand-woven blankets, terrazzo tiles, and bespoke toiletries in exquisite bathrooms. They manage to maintain a balance such that they won’t make you feel out of place.

The Siren is at the forefront of Detroit’s contemporary revival, boasting a wide array of communal areas. Populace Coffee kick-starts the day, followed by Karl’s offering straightforward American comfort cuisine, and Albena, an exclusive eight-seater, showcasing the refined culinary skills of Chef Garrett Lipar. Candy Bar, the current drinks lounge, will soon be accompanied by a rooftop bar, a piano/karaoke joint, and even a vinyl store.

Time Travel

We were transported back in time! The Siren has done an amazing job honoring the 1920's. From its color palette, its plush and luxurious fabrics, period furnishings, and mood lighting we felt transported back in time. The helpful and knowledgeable staff, valet service,and the speakeasy themed 'Candy Bar' topped off a wonderful weekend stay.

Through no fault of its own, the Detroit Tigers won a hard fought game in 11 innings the night we were there, so the revelry from the fans and downtown atmosphere carried on past midnight. As guests of The Siren, we weren't quite expecting that much excitement that late. But again, it wasn't the hotels fault.

It was a very quick over night stay

I love the location and the vibe, good food, love the candy bar and the workers are nice

The shower had hair in it, the bed was rather uncomfortable, there was no fitted sheet so we had to keep tucking the top sheet in. Also, I ordered a latte, they need more milk options, plus there was something that got in my drink which was gross

Location, location, location.

Walking distance to Comerica Park and the people mover.

We could not watch television. When we inquired, we were told 2 remotes were needed, but the room only had one remote. It was later at night. They were attempting to locate another remote, but after an hour, we called and said nevermind, we would just like to go to sleep and not wait anymore. Not a deal breaker. But, the small room and no TV should be mentioned if that is something that matters to you. The location is great, so that is the what makes this worth it and what you are paying for.

a comfortable, unique experience in the heart of an amazing rebirth of an iconic city

The beds were very comfortable and the art deco style made it a unique experience. The staff was also very friendly and unique!

The stairwells are the last thing they need to remodel to create an overall amazing experience.

Super small rooms

On site Cafe is great.

The room was excessively small with no space allocated for even one small case let alone 2. We had a neighbour with barking dogs. Why anyone would take their pet and then leave them in the room is a mystery. There is a card in the bathroom encouraging guests to hang their towels if they wished to conserve the environment but nowhere to hang. No desk. Some people do need to do work. No wardrobe just hangers on a hook. 'Mini-bar' items use all the bench space.

We’d return for sure!

Location was fantastic! Though we were told otherwise, it was awesome that we arrived, and valet was quick and efficient, and very polite as well. To our surprise, the room was also ready nice and early, so we were able to unload before hitting the town. Very unique room! We loved it, and even took some fun pictures of the little touches that made it special.

We were on an end room, and though it’s nothing that can be the fault of the property, from the fourth floor, the people outside and on the ground below are very loud, very late at night… Very late. Didn’t get much sleep, but I’m sure if you’re in an inside room that’s not an issue. And, no USB port of any kind in the room.

Nice vibe but too expensive for the small rooms and rude staff

The vibe was nice and some of the workers were very pleasant. The bed was extremely comfortable.

The room was small with absolutely no storage or hooks. It made it impossible to stow things away or hang them up to get off the floor. The front desk staff was nice but the guy working the coffee bar could not have been more rude or put out. The valet staff also acted like they hated us for using that service. The room was mostly clean but the hallways and elevator were filthy.

Hotel has a Colorful, bohemian vibe but the mattress was disappointing.

The decor was eye-catching-- bohemian chic. The lobby was small but filled with decorative screens, plants, a mix of velvet chairs and a cute victorian-looking chaise lounge, Check-in and check-out was quick. Location was near sports stadium, theaters, restaurants. The room was spotless. The shower seemed huge --decorated with colorful blue tile and glass blocks. Dark red trim on doors to bathroom & door to the room was memorable. I liked the sliding barn door to the bathroom. Snacks available in room was a plus.

The bed was a little low and the mattress was lumpy, well-worn. The window in the shower was huge. I don't think I've ever seen a window in a hotel shower before, let alone one that big.

Very cool vibe and great location but note that rooms are very small.

The reception staff was exemplary. So welcoming and accommodating. Thoughtful details throughout the hotel and room. Loved the handwritten note and the makeup washcloth

The room was very tiny for the cost. Also when we tried to get coffee in the morning, no one was staffed there for 5 minutes or so before we left to get coffee down the street.

The hotel is very unique! Staff was very friendly

Rooms are extremely small. No fridge. To get ice you had to go to the basement And we never did get a chance to visit the Candy Bar which was disappointing. I feel like there should be an option for guest to be able to get a table. We tried several times but it’s so busy with outside guests they told us maybe at midnight😢 Rooms rates are bit high for what you get

The girls at the front desk were so nice and quick to take care of a problem we had with Valet. The guys in the Candy Bar were exceptional and made for a great experience. The overall aestetic of the hotel was very cool.our room was super clean. View from our King Studio was awesome.

Without all the dimmed lights you could tell it needed some better cleaning in common areas.Lampshades in the Candy Bar, elevator floor etc. Valet told us to "drive around" for 20 minutes because there wasn't a spot to park. Coffee in lobby was late.

Cute, boutique hotel. Good location. Onsite bars. Staff very welcoming. Bathroom shower good!

Could not control AC. Freezing in room, we turned it off completely ( we would set it, then it would immediately default back to 66 degrees. Terrible! Bedlight sconces did not work with wall switch, again frustrating! ( we later learned this is a common problem as supposedly there is a switch on the light itself!). Did not see a switch but if this is common, why not do something...explain at in check in out?

Wonderful place for a short stay in downtown Detroit

Very friendly and helpful staff. Quaint boutique hotel. Excellent location in downtown Detroit within walking distance of all the local attractions.

They did the best they could given the confines of the old building they are in.
