Timothy, Jul 2025
The room was spacious and tastefully decorated. The service was prompt and helpful. We enjoyed a wonderful meal at the Apparatus Room. I liked the bigger bathroom and shower. The high ceilings gave a sense of being somewhere special. The history of the building and Detroit was reflected in the decor and artwork found in the room and in the hallways.

Michon, Aug 2018
Pros (+) Such a gorgeous hotel. Everything was top notch, from the common areas to the rooms and it seems no expense was spared in creating this breathtaking hotel out of the main Detroit firehouse. The staff was welcoming, helpful and informative about the area. Detroit is a great city and the Foundation hotel is the place to stay.
Cons (-) The restaurant however was underwhelming. Again, the most amazing space, but our breakfast was just okay. And the coffee game needs to be stepped up.

FAQs when booking at Detroit Foundation Hotel

  • Why should I choose to stay at the Detroit Foundation Hotel rather than a different property?

    Detroit has been experiencing a renaissance in recent times, and this particular hotel has played an important role in helping to get the city back on its feet. Placing great emphasis on the local community, the hotel functions as a space where people can get together – either literally, through special events and podcast recordings, or metaphorically, through the many local partnerships it has created. From candles and chocolates in the room to the hotel’s architecture and staff uniforms, the Detroit Foundation Hotel is a coming together of the city’s most exciting artisans and craftspeople.

  • Does the Detroit Foundation Hotel host any special events?

For something a little more up-market, try the unique Chef’s Table venue: an intimate, multi-course dining experience held at a communal table.

Another option that can be arranged to suit your needs is a private dining event in one of the hotel’s dinner rooms – chef Thomas Lents will whip up a delicious feast to surprise you and your guests’ taste buds.

    If you’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary or other special occasion at the hotel, you can choose from a range of carefully curated in-room amenities to help surprise a loved one. Options include a chilled bottle of bubbly, chef’s dessert delivered to your room, a fresh juice in the morning or two house cocktails in the bar.
