ROOST Detroit

$230-350 / nat

Bestil hvis You want a high-design apartment that feels like a permanent residence in Detroit's most stunning historic skyscraper.

Hvorfor folk elsker det

  • The Book Tower restoration is jaw-dropping (Italian Renaissance atrium, original details)
  • Apartments are fully stocked with high-end gear: La Colombe coffee, Sonos speakers, and washer/dryers
  • The 'Study' coworking space on the 2nd floor is better than most WeWorks

Hurtig oversigt: It’s an apartment, not a full-service hotel—so don't expect nightly turndown service or a pool, but do expect to want to move in permanently.

Anmeldt af @KimsBigWorldI found the perfect middle ground between a hotel and a rental. My apartment at Roost was huge with a full kitchen and living room, but I still got daily housekeeping and room service. It’s the ultimate travel hack for a stress-free stay in Detroit.

The hype

Travelers are obsessed with the interior design and the 'home away from home' functionality of the kitchens and laundry.

Reality check

Guests expecting a traditional hotel lobby scene are sometimes confused by the check-in process or the lack of 24/7 bellhop vibes.

  • You're staying for more than a weekend and need a real kitchen
  • You appreciate mid-century modern furniture and live plants in your room
  • You need a serious workspace (The Study is excellent)

Renhed & Vedligeholdelse

9.8
  • Housekeeping: Weekly service is thorough; guests consistently rate it 'immaculate' and 'meticulous'.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Spotless. High-end fixtures, no grout issues reported.
  • Maintenance: Brand new renovation (opened 2023), so everything is in perfect working order.
  • Linens & towels: Fresh, high-quality Sferra linens.
  • Odors & scents: Fresh, neutral scent; no musty historic building smells.

Før du booker

Godt at vide

  • Check-in is at 4:00 PM, which is a bit late—plan your arrival accordingly.
  • The building (Book Tower) is a destination itself; take time to explore the atrium and rotunda.
  • There is a bike share program available for guests.

Hvad skal du pakke

  • Grocery staples—the kitchens are begging to be used (Whole Foods is a short drive/ride away)
  • Work laptop—The Study is genuinely inspiring
  • Walking shoes—you are centrally located to walk to Comerica Park and Fox Theatre

Værelses-genie

Bedste valg

  • One-Bedroom Apartment for the separate living area and full kitchen
  • Inner courtyard view rooms for maximum silence (though less of a view)

Værelser at undgå

  • Lower floor units facing Washington Blvd if you're a light sleeper (traffic noise)
  • Studios if you plan to cook heavily (kitchenettes are smaller)

Værelses-anmodnings-genie – kopier og indsæt

I'd love a room on a higher floor to minimize street noise. If available, an inner courtyard view would be preferred for quiet. I'm planning to use The Study, so proximity to the 2nd floor elevators would be a bonus.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål og skjulte tips

Alt hvad du gerne vil vide før du booker.

Is there a pool?

No. Do not believe the glitches on some OTA sites. There is no pool at this location.

How does parking work?

Valet only, located at the main entrance. It costs ~$45/night with in/out privileges.

Is breakfast included?

No. You can buy coffee/pastries at Bar Rotunda or cook in your room, but there is no free buffet.

Can I bring my dog?

Yes, but it'll cost you. The fee is around $150 per stay/week, and there's a 40lb weight limit.

Is housekeeping daily?

No, it is weekly. You can request more frequent cleaning for an extra fee.

Is the area safe?

Yes, Washington Blvd is a major, well-lit downtown thoroughfare near high-end hotels and venues.


Insidertips

  • The 'Study' on the 2nd floor has free coffee and is a stunning place to work—don't stay cooped up in your room.

  • There is a hidden whiskey bar called 'The Aladdin Sane' inside the building; ask the concierge how to find the entrance.

  • Request a room with a washer/dryer if you're staying more than 3 days; it's a game changer.

5 ting du bør vide før du tager af sted

  • 💡The Japanese pub 'Sakazuki' in the building has a 'silly' neon Tokyo vibe that contrasts wildly with the historic lobby.

  • 💡The elevators can be a bit slow during peak times because the building is shared with residences.

  • 💡You get actual live plants in your room, not plastic ones—don't water them, the staff does it.

  • 💡The 'resort fee' or 'destination fee' covers the bike share and wifi, so use them to get your money's worth.

  • 💡The rooftop bar, Kamper's, has Spanish tapas and great views, but it gets packed with non-guests on weekends.
