Someone suggested The Detroit Club was a must-see while we were in town. We wandered in mid-day and got wonderful cocktails and great food. We split the smash burger and the burrata salad, and both were full of flavor. The architecture and decor felt rich and welcoming, and the staff were very friendly. It was a great place to spend a leisurely afternoon.

The 2nd worst experience Ive ever had at restaurant. It was valentines day, supposedly the masquerade got cancelled, and we were left with a wobbly table, a crap meal, and a chair that broke underneath my feet. The staff were confused, and things took a while. My food was awful, i got a cheap salad and a noodle dish with some kind of bitter home made tomato sauce. The service was lacking, and despite all of this, I asked for a partial refund. The asst manager agreed, and the manager (Val) said they would do full refund. They hesitated saying there were system problems and to contact them Monday. So I did. No response. What they don't know is this: I was one of the last people to walk out of these restaurants: Larcos, Tribute, Forte (Birmingham) just to name a few.

My best friend got married at the Detroit Club, and it was perfect. We were all at the Detroit Club for the whole weekend. We stayed 2 nights in the hotel, as did most of the wedding guests/party. The hotel is beautiful everywhere. The rooms are stunning, the hallways are stunning, the stairs are stunning, the reception rooms are stunning. Our bed was very comfortable including the pillows, the bathroom was huge and nice. The only thing about the hotel is that the rooms are all different. One of our close friends had the worst room (205, don't get that room), and some rooms are better than others. One room has a lovely balcony, which we all hung out on. Some rooms have large jacuzzi tubs in the rooms. The event space was beautiful. It was an amazing location for the wedding! The photos are stunning. The food and drinks were great! The staff were very friendly and helpful!

Went to the spa and then stayed for drinks/apps! Amazing service food and ambiance! Chef Tony is amazing!

I LOVE The Detroit Club! I was not familiar with it at all until I drove by about a year or so ago and vowed to see what it was all about. I hosted a business dinner there, and it was fantastic with great service! I absolutely love the library. What a cozy great place for happy hour and noshes. We haven't tried the grotto or cigar lounge yet, but we're looking forward to it. We are able to get a tour of one of the rooms, not too long ago and they are amazing. I am exploring becoming a member.

Very swanky and stylish library bar with a restaurant on the side, Bohemia - with nice food and will be a separate review - and other lounges. Cool furniture and lighting as well. Nice libations as well. Service was great and the bartenders were very skilled. Highly recommended!

10/10 across the board . I felt like we were in the game Clue ! So many layers to this historical building . Such a cool hotel ! Super friendly staff and always available . Walkable area , close to all that downtown can give . There is a Basement sauna and spa , valet , and the BEST PRICED happy hour cocktails / food , EVER . We have been in many cities so a $7 old fashioned ? $ Are you kidding me ? CHEERS, DETROIT ! We'll be back and perhaps next time , we'll run into those creepy twins from you know where . lol / joke .

Dinner in the Dark was a blast totally recommend, Food was great, wine flights awesome! Great time

My mother was coming to town for a Christmas shopping visit and we booked the hotel club online very easily. The check-in process was seamless and our room was very cozy and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed the spa and the morning breakfast. The lounge area is ambient and plenty of materials to read and cozy up by a fire. There is an adorable parrot there which just adds a touch of whimsy. The staff are all very nice and considerate and we highly recommend Staying here. There is a smoking lounge on the third floor that I know my husband would appreciate. The main floor restaurant we ate at for dinner was delicious. The hotel was quiet during sleeping hours with light jazz and city buzz heard into late night.

The Detroit Club is a beautiful and historic building that is worth visiting for drinks or dinner. I attended a 1920s themed dinner event here, and everything put on by the Detroit Club was superb. The food was so delicious and exceeded my expectations. The salmon was so tender, and there was a made to order pasta station. I plan to return for more events along with trying SOAK Spa, which I have heard good reviews from friends.

Came here for a trade show dinner with a vendor. The building and interior are very impressive. Dark wood, chandeliers, Victorian furniture. It's all very cool. The bar is relaxed but upscale. Bartender is outstanding and works her butt off. There are lots of comfy couches to drink and relax on. They also have a separate menu. Lots of bar type food. We had dinner in the main dinning room. We were alone. It seems that it is closed on Tuesday and they made an exception for us. That was nice. I think the manager waited on us. He was very good. The food was just ok. He was bragging about it but it was just ok. I got the sea bass and it was not as good as it should have been. The wagyu smash burger was good. Fries weee just ok too. Everyone else thought the food was just ok too. Overall the ambiance is awesome! Maybe the bar food is better. The drinks are good. Now the place is pricey. This is a special occasion type of place. But it is very cool. Even to just go in and look around.

Nicely decorated building from the 1880's. Restaurant does look old due to its age. The lounge upstairs is worth visit

Just visited for our son's wedding. The attention to detail and friendly staff was fabulous. We were welcome from the time we checked in. We felt like we were at home, not 550 miles away. This is a great location in downtown Detroit. Do not hesitate to visit and I'm fairly picky.

Very friendly service, but terrible experience! From start to finish only two nights and I couldn't wait to leave. Air conditioning didn't work in my room, had someone up twice before I left for dinner, someone was supposed to take a look while I was gone- didn't happen. Finally changed rooms at 9pm- without an offer to help move my things. My room was changed from a parking lot side to a street side room- bathroom window had a filter on the window letting in light in the first room, second room had thick dark window covering, no full length mirror, noisy AC, only 1 hook to hang long clothes (chifforobe would wrinkle long clothing)- very dark overall. Called down for my car 3 times in the morning about 7:10am, went downstairs and waited another 15 minutes to SEE any one at all. Came back after work, handed my keys to the front desk for parking/valet- my car sat in front of the hotel for the 3 hours I was at dinner. Front desk clerk said she'd been asking all customers who's car it was (the paper on my dash matched tag on my keys behind the front desk). Asked for hot water (for my own tea) and got lukewarm, got a drink at the bar and couldn't charge it to my room bc of their POS- ridiculous this day in age. Checked out the next morning and the gentleman helping the front desk person didn't offer to help me carry my suitcase and hanging clothes, and work bag down the stairs to my car. Didn't even get A DRINK comped for all these issues. Absolutely ridiculous. Don't stay here.

We made a reservation to check out the Christmas pop-up bar in the cigar lounge, then have dinner in the dining room downstairs. The Christmas bar was fantastic, beautifully decorated, and had a friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable staff (Krista) the holiday cocktail menu was very creative. Had we known what was waiting for his downstairs we would've just had dinner up there. We went downstairs for our dinner reservation and was seated promptly by a friendly gentleman at the podium. Our server (I couldn't tell you her name, because she never introduced herself, younger with dark hair) mumbled something about a drink order after ordering (they came out wrong a while later) then another staff member came out, holding a bowl way above our line of vision and asked if it was ours or another table without telling us what it was. We placed our order after a while then the plates started coming out (orders mixed up). she was basically dropping the plates on the table and would spin around so quickly and scurry back to the kitchen or wherever you literally couldn't get one word out. I tried asking for a cocktail on three different occasions, but she would spin around and runoff so quickly I couldn't place the order. Never came back to ask how our Dinners were, nor did management. When I finally did manage to place a cocktail order, she just stared at me and spun around and took off without even asking what I wanted. Eventually, some random drink came out. As I was signing the $300 dinner check I asked her how I pay for the valet, and she just said "I don't know" and walked off. The tables around us with the gentleman server we're getting attentive service. Detroit has so many fantastic restaurants going on right now, don't set yourself up for a disappointing evening at the Detroit Club like we did.

The ambiance was really nice. Our waiter was super attentive at the beginning and then through the middle pulled a "hudini" and disappeared. The food was ok, nothing to rave about. Half of our party like their dishes like pasta and salmon and the other half didn't. Chicken was too dry and halibut with couscous had no flavor at all. Not sure I'll be coming back.

The service was awful, no one was friendly at the front desk and 99% of the time there was no one even there and I had to wait forever . The hotel was clean and the live music was really cool...that's the only reason I'm giving it more stars. The rooms were like dungeons, I wouldn't stay again.

Nice room but no working heat. I tried going to front desk who said it would be fixed while we were out at a concert. We came back at midnight to find that room temp won't go above 75 degrees. Went back to front desk and they offered a space heater!!! I knew I was in detroit but they had no class. I asked for a manager to give a call and never received one. Just shows how much they cared!! Stay away unless you like a cold room!!

I have had two couple's massages here; this place is impressive. The grotto is an excellent finish to the massage. I will return.

We had a great dinner at The Detroit Club on NYE. The building is old, eclectic and gorgeous; the staff is warm, engaging and willing to bend over backwards to make sure you're happy. The drinks were amazing, and dinner was delicious. We started with raw oysters. Then for dinner I had salmon with root vegetables and my husband had tenderloin with broccolini. We will be back!

I did not stay at the hotel or dine at the restaurant. I went to the spa downstairs which was amazing. I also had a few drinks at the bar. I guess the drinks were really good because I left my AMEX card. After destroying my house, I called and they had the card there. When I picked it up, I had to show multiple forms of ID which I truly appreciated. Everyone was super nice and helpful. Thanks!

What a beautiful building! I love Detroit's historic buildings, and this one is uniquely charming. Valet is available, which is great in this part of town, and it definitely has a "club feel" when you walk in, though it's currently open to the public. The dining rooms were beautifully set, the lighting was warm and inviting, and the old wooden floors add character to the space. We were greeted immediately, and given beverages. I then started with the spicy tomato soup - it came out piping hot and was creamy and delicious. My colleague had the salmon entree, and I had the lobster & shrimp roll with a beautiful fresh side salad with lots of veggies. My colleague reported that her salmon was excellent - perfectly cooked and tasty. My sandwich was so fresh and flavorful; full of perfectly cooked tender seafood, not over-dressed, well-seasoned and delicious with a touch of lemon. Both of us look forward to returning, and I encourage anyone who works in this area to head here for lunch as it is unique, tasty and fairly quick. Their prices were also very affordable for the area and portions were good. The only reason for one less star was the service was a tad slow to have such an empty dining room. I hope they fill it up and are able to add more waitstaff for the lunch hour because the food was awesome.

Ambience - 5 Library Bar - 5 Greeting upon arrival - 5 Staff in library Bar - 5 Hostess - 2 Waitress - 1 Food - 3 Having menu items - 1 Price - 2 There announce here is excellent. The staff not so much. The food was bland and it seems that having regular menu items available is not av strong party of their business model. Really liked the look and feel of this place, but drawbacks abound. 40 bucks for a drink and glass of wine is insane. Chicken, salmon and a bread basket came to 70 bucks, so the entire experience was over 100 dollars for poor service, bland food, but great ambience. They need to get more professional people here to have this place match the prices and the ambience they are trying to portray.

Old hotel renovated has nice picture appeal, but in actuality it is not good. The renovations seem to be made to look great but are not professional nor luxurious. The hotel Front Desk doesn't look updated at all. Looks more like a coat check in at a ....'Club'. Across from it they have 'Club' T-shirts for sale. Some are out on hangers and look like they have been there for decades. Colors look faded. Just tacky. The floor of the entry is old tile. I got a real good look at the front desk and lobby as it took them 10 minutes for me to get anybody. They have a bell which I rang several times. The elevator looks almost scary, like a something from the 40's. Raggedy floor and tiles. The room itself is not bad, but it is not elegant. The Bed is on the firm side, the pillows, I called them bubble pillows. They were big and soft, but when you laid your head on one side, the other side would bubble up. Room had a nice shower but 2 things with it. I put my liquid soap bottle on the shelf and it slid off as the glass shelf was not straight. Next, after a nice hot shower, at least the water was nice and hot, when I was trying to get out, it took me a few seconds. The door opens into the shower. Nothing wrong with that, but the door handle is only on the outside of the door. Hence, with my wet hands, I had to grab the small knob backside of the handle to pull the shower door open. The furniture looked tasteful but was hard. About 9PM I was hungry and thirsty. Had an ice bucket in the room, but no plastic to put over it. Anyway, I went out the room looking for an ice maker. Couldn't find one so called the lobby. Lobby answered and said the ice was only down on the 1st floor by the entrance but they could bring some up. I said, well I was going to order some food and I could get the ice with the food. Front desk said they could take my order and bring it all up together so I made an order with the front desk....and waited......and waited......and waited....and looked out the room to see if they left it out....nope....and then at 11 I just went to bed. Hence, No Food For me. At least the net morning when I checked out it was not on my bill. Looking at other reviews and along with my experience, it seems that the place is very understaffed, hence the long waits and bad service. Also, most the other reviews are from people eating at the restaurant. I stayed at the hotel and did not get to eat there as mentioned. All in all, this is a quaint old place and is more like a Bed and Breakfast with a restaurant and cigar bar then it is a hotel. If you have that in mind, and expect that then it may be ok. However, know that service was both bad and slow, and this old quant place has been somewhat modernized, but is not luxurious or elegant.

Food pretty good. Great ambiance. Super slow service. Where were the busboys to help the one waiter serving all the tables????

Canceled reservations when they thought they could get more because of the NFL draft. Sleazy and unethical place. Go anywhere else.

Few tips when visiting this place... 1 - come correct. They can be a bit picky about who they let in. "Correct" means dressed for a semi fancy dinner and cocktails. I really enjoyed the cigar bar, non members can come and partake for a $20 cover. It's gorgeous inside through and through which made me feel fancy for being there. Bartenders are friendly and the people never cease to entertain even as a fly on the wall. I'm not a fan of the cover, although I get it (or whatever).

Our stay at the Detroit Club was perfect. I was traveling with two girlfriends and our room was big and the beds were so so comfortable! the places seems to have been recently updated. The bathroom was great. We loved the old-school charm. Front desk people were friendly and helpful. The hotel was quiet. We hung out in the bar one evening and the bartender was so wonderful (forgot her name, she was leaving for Spain the next day). She made us some great cocktails and also had great tips for being a visitor in Detroit. Value of this place was great and it was centrally located.

I really, really wanted to be able to say this place is awesome, but it's not. The good: Service/ waitstaff - the hostess was very welcoming and kind the server was absolutely perfect. She was attentive, and answered all kinds of questions that I had related to the history of the property and club. She is truly a professional who enjoyed the service and was truly concerned that I, her customer was a satisfied patron. The wine and drink menu was impressive, the use The Botanist Gin - I mean - hello - that is impressive! The not so good: The food. The menu was fine and my reading of the menu led me to believe that this food was perhaps - hand crafted? Don't be fooled. This is typical restaurant fare. The chowder was - ok. I was back and forth between a burger or the chicken on the menu and was persuaded to opt for the burger. It certainly sounded good - three cut beef blend, signature sauce. I did ask for the no bun option and a lettuce wrap or just leaf lettuce which i was given. But the burger was cold, not rare as requested, and not a hand crafted burger. The menu should not be why you come here. Come check it out for the historical relevance of the one time private mens club where movers and shakers of Detroit changed history. I had high hopes but they were not met.

The Detroit Club Grille will be open to non-members until the membership is filled. Then, unless you're a member, it's buh-bye to your chance for a mouthwatering meal in this beautiful, historic building. We were a party of four on a slow Tuesday evening. Our server and bartender were, therefore, not busy, and we received fabulous, personalized service. I'm not sure it would have been quite AS good on a busier night, but I'm confident it would be plenty good. The dining room is amazing; all dark wood and brass tack club chairs. Some of the tables and chairs seemed antique. The table is set with Detroit Club plates and flatware. We felt like we had stepped into an old-fashioned private club, which we had. Everything we had to eat and drink was delicious. Drinks were nicely poured and inventive, and everything we had to eat is something I would be happy to get again. We started with bone marrow, mille feuille, and bao. All were pleasing, and big enough to share. The bao was unexpected, and my favorite of the starters. For entrees, we had the pork porterhouse, pappardelle, filet mignon, and salmon. I'd recommend any of them. To finish, we had fresh-brewed coffee and a caramel flan. The coffee and the dessert were both excellent. After dinner, we were allowed to self-tour the historic building. It has a spa in the basement, a large ballroom and a cigar lounge upstairs, and hotel rooms for members on the top floor. It's quite a place! I wish The Detroit Club well in filling their membership. I will be seeking out a member to bring me as their guest to enjoy the grille.

Gorgeous old building. Didn't stay here or eat here, but took a full tour of the place, every nook, cranny, and dumbwaiter. The place definitely has something to say - and it speaks volumes. They have a gorgeous ball room for about 100 people. the spa in the basement has a hot tub and infrared rooms. Peeked into a room and they're nice, not opulent, but tasteful. Will try to come to this joint for some food in the future.

I can't say enough wonderful thing about this beautiful building and amazing staff! our dinner was amazing and craft cocktails were remarkable. thank m not a wine drinker but they had one of the latest sections I've seen.

Came here for a nice night downtown and this was my first time at the Detroit Club. The place itself is rich with history and the decor is magnificent. I was very pleased with the ambience and scenery. The different bars within adds for a nice area for pre or post dinner cocktails; or just stop in for a few and enjoy the craftsmanship. Being my first time here, I was expecting a bit more from the service and staff. For this being toted as a somewhat private club, I guess i was expecting as such. The restaurant was pretty empty when we arrived, but they sat us feet from the bar...usually okay, but not when there were so many open tables (which remained open all night). Then there were a few other tiny issues which shouldn't happen at a high end steakhouse, etc. The food was delightful and tasty. Nothing you wouldn't expect. They don't have traditional Detroit zip sauce, but the steaks had more than enough flavor. Oh.....they charge you for bread. Hmmm, very odd, especially when it's a plain bread basket. No special garlic butter bread or anything....boooo. But, steaks and salad were good. I'd stop back in for drinks, but I think it's a bit overpriced for what you get. Highly recommend you stop in for a cocktail at a minimum, just dine at your leisure.

Upon arriving, you realize soon, you'll be transported back and time, to a place where class and elegance once reigned. The Detroit Club has over one hundred years of serving the city tucked within its walls. We dined at Bohemia, the clubs restaurant, and thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our meal. Our server April and her son Caden,, provided us with one of the most incredible dining experiences we've had in a while. The dinner was coursed properly, the appetizers including beef tartare and summer squash, were delicious! Let me tell you... Order the sack of burgers if it's the only thing you order here. Probably the best hamburger I've had in a while! I went with the salmon for dinner, not to be basic but I was craving salmon skin, and my boyfriend had the hot Nashville chicken. There is another review that states the Nashville chicken isn't properly done, and since neither he or I know what that's supposed to taste like, I don't have anything to compare it to. All we can say is that it was absolutely delicious, and he stated that it was the best chicken he has ever tasted in his entire life. That's saying a lot! Sadly this time around we didn't order dessert, but will return to do so. If you are looking for a romantic, upscale without being stuffy environment, I highly recommend dining at The Bohemia in the Detroit Club.

Thee best and finest of service and dining in downtown Detroit ! This historical hotel / restaurant caught my attention from the very moment when I called on a seriously rainy day searching for a close place to walk and dine. Reena was so polite and took great time sharing with me in detail and soon (and though I feared to be wasting her time) I was off and there, umbrella and all. Renee is a jewel, and Servers were fantastic ! I cannot say enough about the food and experience with Nigel and John. Tastes were absolutely amazing and the ambience was tops! Loved the historic nostalgia and its unique beginnings, would you believe 1882 ?! I'll say no more, the story can be researched when you come... Thank you for an impeccable dining experience !

The star of the Detroit Club is definitely its swanky decor and atmosphere. They have a restaurant, a couple liquor bars, a cigar bar, hotel rooms, and a spa area. Public is welcome at the restaurant, cigar bar, and library bar but I'm not certain about the spa or the hotel rooms. You may need to be a member of the Club for those. We had friends with us who were interested in becoming members so we asked if we could have a tour, and our request was graciously accepted. Spa was beautiful and offered the standard services, had an infrared sauna in the locker room, several massage rooms, and a salt water grotto/pool in addition to a weight and cardio room. We were able to see one hotel room, of which there is a picture below. We were told that there is a bear claw tub in some of the rooms, which sounded lovely. The library bar is well equipped with all kinds of unusual liquors and potions and tincture-looking bottles. Drinks were well made. The library itself is cozy and had a fire going. There are lots of meeting rooms for rental and we saw them prepping for an engagement party and that was beautiful. Food is good at the restaurant. I think they have brought in a new chef and from reading previous reviews the new chef seems to be doing better. We all had a good dining experience. My friend has a few dietary needs to be taken into consideration when she dines out and our server was very helpful and understanding and accommodating. Definitely a great option for a fancy evening or a special occasion.

We were extremely disappointed in our evening. The kitchen is not up to the previous dining experiences we have had. The Caesar salad was not good and not presented as stated on the menu. Bread basket, that was four pieces of wonder bread toasted with butter, $12.00? Salmon was fishy and non eventful. Ribeye was mediocre. We do not plan on returning

This was a great stop for lunch. First of all this place is gorgeous. The dinning area has a very classic setup. There are a lot of windows so it feels brighter then most other places that have this type of atmosphere. The lunch menu has a good variety of things but it's not a super long list, which I appreciate. I went with the Chicken-Apple-Brie Sandwich. There was a good amount of chicken and right amount of brie and apples to balance the sandwich. The pesto and brown mustard were really good on it and the bread was perfectly panini'ed (it's real word, I just made it up). The chips were great as well, crunchy and light. Great place, great food!

I came here for a happy hour and it was a great choice. I got a Mai Tai, $7. Great price and the best Mai Tai I have ever had. It had a unique twist and tasted like an upgraded version of a regular one. Also tasted a friends drink, which was smooth. Classic and cool decor. Only downside is no food specials for happy hour.

we did dinner in the dark, paid almost $1000 and the meal was awful and didn't worth it...for $150 per person you get appetize, meatballs!!! which you can eat at home! and cheap dessert. won't be doing it ever again...very unpleasant experience

They re-opened yesterday so of course there were one or two hitches in our otherwise delicious Mother's Day brunch. Charlie, the F&D manager MORE THAN made up for anything that may have been amiss. If Charlie is the new standard this will soon be my favorite place again. THIS IS THE PLACE TO STAY IN THE CITY period.

I can't say enough about this place. It's absolutely beautiful and the staff waited on us hand and foot. I felt so special. The food was just as impressive and the drinks were good too. Definitely a must try.

Did you read in the Free Press what this hotel did to the Toledo couple? Cancelled a two month reservation without them knowing then tripled the rate. This is a shady business. This is on my "never stay or recommend" list.

Received an amazing massage from Davion. She was very sweet and professional. I was in need of a massage and foot rub she exceeded my expectations. Will definitely be back to see her and highly recommend.

Wow! Please don't let the word get out. Went to a book signing and then an awesome meal. Try the Library Bar. Cigar Bar on the third floor has food I hear. Not a smoker and left. Raclette was missing the cheese. Un noticeably! Ceasar salad was very good...it better be! But some may think it's too dry. Drinks in the Library we're healthy. Parking is non existent...valet park. Or Lyft/Uber...Wait dessert.??? Chocolate Dilise....sooooooo GOOD! Yes a MUST ENJOY!

Why this hotel rate as 31/2 star? I surprised... I think,this hotel deserve 5star even just for decoration. Hotel room is clean And real authentic classic( not just pretending) And they prepared at hallway coffee and tea and pastry for the guests with very clean display. l love this hotel. I would come to Detroit for just this hotel.

Overrated hotel with rude staff. Horrible customer service from the minute we walked in. They act like it's a privilege to stay there. Give me a break this isn't Beverly Hills.

Atmosphere and service was great. However the food was very sub par. We ordered the Nashville hot chicken (which is nothing like real Nashville chicken if you've had it before) and it was basically inedible. They don't use real buttermilk batter to fry the chicken....and the fried part felt way too well crusted to the chicken and thick. It should be flaky and spicy! The guy at the table next to us was struggling to eat his. We also ordered the branzino which was so over salted (we understand it's dry aged) but again, so bad. At $38, we expected so much more. Lastly, we ordered the filet which was supposed to be 12 oz but it felt like 7 oz and very thin. We ordered it medium rare and it came out well done. Don't get me wrong the wine was great but the food was just so disappointing and we really wanted to love it!!!! Really hate to complain but with 3 people and $250 + later and bad food, we will not be dining there again. That being said, if you're looking for a cool atmosphere for a drink or a wine, go for it! Just don't go upstairs for the food!

First, this place is classic Detroit. Al Capone ate here and had a cigar box here. Kerry was a veteran who knew all you needed to know about food and beverage. They don't make them like her anymore. I had the special pork chop. Delicious! Asparagus was cooked to perfection and I was full. I look forward to another visit if back in Detroit. BTW: dress is business.
