"The upscale Detroit suburb of Birmingham is perhaps not the first place you’d look to find a place like the Daxton Hotel, a dramatic and art-filled luxury boutique hotel of the type that, not all that long ago, would have struggled to find an audience outside of New York or Los Angeles. The look is bold in black marble and dark wood, setting an authentically elegant tone. And what pulls it back from excessive seriousness is its art collection, which includes some playful and colorful paintings and sculptures prominently displayed in the lobby and other public spaces." - Tablet Hotels
