Shinola Hotel, Detroit
More photosExpert reviews
“New independent hotels have played a vital part in Detroit’s regeneration. Though none embraces the city’s past, present and future as holistically as Shinola. It uses contemporary elements to highlight the city’s history.”
Featured in CN Traveler’s Best New Hotels of 2019.
“Shinola, Detroit’s homegrown company known for its luxury crafted watches, extended the brand to this superbly stylish hotel. The 129 earth-toned rooms have hardwood floors, mid-century modern furniture, big windows letting in natural light and local beers in the minibar; some have turntables and records. The downtown location is super convenient near the sports arenas, QLine and shops.”
“Detroit-based luxury brand Shinola enters the hospitality scene with its first hotel. The gorgeous property features unparalleled craftsmanship, food and drink by Chef Andrew Carmellini, and the warmth and hospitality for which this city is known, all in the beating heart of downtown’s historic shopping district.”

Wonderful stay with the BEST staff. Clean, comfortable, stylish, and perfect location for walking. We look forward to st
Very clean and comfortable but more importantly, the staff was so friendly and welcoming. So refreshing to see.
A little pricey but I would expect that price for what we got. Still seemed like a fair price.

Great food, comfortable room.
We stayed at the Shinola for a wedding. The food provided by the Shinola was incredible, the best wedding meal I've ever had. We had great service throughout the festivities. The venue was superb.
The carpet in our room needs cleaning. More attention to cleaning and touchups in our room is needed.

Exceptional
The staff were all very friendly and the rooms were clean.
The valet parking was a little confusing to get to and the lightening wasn't great in the room.

Great location
The hotel is in a great location. The staff are friendly and the room is comfortable.
I think the cleanliness could have been better. I found some random hairs woven into the “clean” towels in the bathroom.

Luxury in the middle of the city.
The hotel was absolutely beautiful and conveniently located near attractions. Every staff member we encountered made us feel valued and comfortable. My daughter and I stayed following a concert downtown and it was so worth not having to fight traffic afterwards. San Morello, the hotel’s restaurant was outstanding
I liked everything, except the price.

Fabulous
Beautiful design, very well-appointed rooms.
Our room did not have an amenities kit with cotton buds, cotton rounds, etc. Also not all staff was equally nice.

Great Escape.
The staff was excellent, they made sure we were completely comfortable. The entire hotel was very clean. Wish we could've taken advantage of more amenities (the only reason I gave it a 9).
The bathroom was a little tight. Liked the fact the sink/vanity was separate from the toilet, but the Quarter bathroom was really small.

Great, comfortable, and convenient stay!
The aesthetic, location and comfort. Staff were all very kind and welcoming. Room was spacious and clean. Bed was comfy.
Only 2 minimal critiques. 1) no one to open the door for you. It sounds so small and silly but we had 1 large suitcase, 2 carry on roller bags and two backpacks and it was a struggle just opening the double set of doors to get in. It would be nice to have an automatic door or something, but there was the option of calling the bellman. 2) kinda weird outlet placing. Everything was mostly on one side of the room so we were charging all devices on one side table and ironing on the same side of the room.Though there’s a ton of space in the room it made it feel somewhat cramped on one side. Very small critiques overall :)

Best hotel I’ve stayed at
Everything staff was soooo nice

Great location. Felt safe and secure. I'd stay again for a sporting event.
I was not informed of the breakfast options by the receptionist. Instead went to the Hudson Cafe.
Loved the Evening Bar. Service and atmosphere were great.
I was disappointed in the "Italian" restaurant. Could have tried to be a little more authentic with food and service.
Was there a gym or pool? If so, the receptionist did not tell us.

The Inn on Ferry Street, Detroit
Lonely Planet“Forty guest rooms fill a row of Victorian mansions right by the art museum. The lower-cost rooms at The Inn on Ferry Street are small but have deliciously soft bedding; the larger rooms feature plenty of antique wood furnishings.”
The Siren Hotel, Detroit
Telegraph“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.”
