The 1915 David Whitney Building was built for Detroit’s lumber baron era, and the Hotel David Whitney keeps that golden-age spirit alive behind a soaring glass atrium, steps from the city’s great theaters.


The hotel overlooks Grand Circus Park in Downtown Detroit, with its own People Mover station inside the building and the Fox Theatre a short walk away.
The four-story atrium, crowned by the Library Bar, is one of downtown’s great indoor spaces, as good for morning coffee as for an evening cocktail. Guest rooms in the Autograph Collection style pair historic architecture with modern calm, and Comerica Park, Ford Field and the Opera House all sit within a few blocks.
Perfect for theater trips, weddings and travelers who love a landmark lobby as much as a comfortable room.
