ROOST Detroit

We came in town for Red Wings game/Federov jersey retirement ceremony. Spent two nights at Roost and had a terrific experience. The room layout was perfect for our needs, everything was clean and orderly. I would also say that the location relative to the downtown Woodward corridor is excellent, we actually walked back from LCA which took about 15 minutes-easy. I would highly recommend Roost.

Settled in beautiful downtown Detroit in such a wonderful building full of history. The decor and ambience is amazing. You feel as if you are partially stepping back in time here alittle. Rooms are gorgeous and worth it especially if you need to be downtown for a game or concert. Such a beautiful place and happy that it belongs to Detroit.

Amazing hotel! This was our second stay at the Roost. My husband and I decided to take a weekend getaway downtown. Devon upgraded our one bedroom suite to a one bedroom premium suite and it had the best views of city. Thank you Devon! We always have a great stay at this hotel. The weekend we went the weather was in the teens so we were able to have an amazing dinner at La Supreme and then an after dinner drink on the rooftop at Kampers. All without going outside! Highly suggest making reservations for Aladdin Sane (the speakeasy) and the other restaurants as they do fill up.

From the moment you step through the grand entrance of the Roost, the unique architecture tells a story of thoughtful revitalization. The building exudes a beauty and character that immediately captivates, seamlessly blending original, historic elements with modern luxury.||||The rooms are apartment style and very comfortable. The floors, the furniture, the views, all amazing. The terrace room on the 14th floor had a great layout, nice coffee machine, and looked like a great outdoor area but it was winter for us. As long as you're willing to walk 5-10 minutes, parking is easy, just use spot hero. We parked at the garage on Congress Parkway for only $20 for 3 days. You could valet at the hotel but it's a lot more expensive and the Roost is very vibrant and busy on Friday and Saturday nights with the great restaurants and live music in the lobby.||||We only ate at the one restaurant, Le Supreme kind of by chance since it was about the only place open late on new years day but I'm so glad this happened. It was one of the best meals and experiences we've had and we've travelled extensively. The staff, the food, the setting, all upper echelon but at the same time not overly expensive or pretentious. We also had breakfast on the last day in the hotel lobby but the food comes from the Le Supreme kitchen and bakery which is a very clever and efficient implementation. Instead of a below average hotel breakfast that says... we at least we offer something... we had incredible quiche, coffee, and yogurt parfaits. ||||We did the Henry Ford museum, a must see, and had an exciting experience at the Red Wings game.

After reading many reviews on TripAdvisor and checking out the websites of hotels, my husband and I decided to book at ROOST Detroit for our 30th anniversary staycation.||||We booked a 1-bedroom king suite and couldn’t be more pleased. ||||The room and hotel are very clean, well-maintained, has great amenities, and is in walking distance to Campus Martius, the Q-Line, Woodward Ave., and all the shops and restaurants nearby. A stop for the People Mover (elevated train) station is right next door.||||Valet parking is available, but we parked in the deck next to the hotel on Washington Ave. It let us exit and re-enter repeatedly just by scanning the receipt from the first entry. Parking on level 3 gives you access to the catwalk to the hotel (by scanning your room key) so you can go from the parking deck to the hotel (and back) without going outside.||||The Aladdin Sane bar in the hotel’s lowest level is very cozy and intimately candlelit. The bartender was friendly and gave great service.||||We did not dine at the Kamper Rooftop Terrace, but we made a reservation to have a cocktail and appetizer. We were seated right next tot the French doors to the terrace and the nighttime view of the Detroit skyline was magical. Since it was January we only popped out for a few minutes to admire the view and snap a few photos but I’d love to spend more time up there.||||All in all, highly recommend ROOST Detroit whether you’re visiting from out of town or a local looking for a little time in dazzling Detroit.

We stayed here for our 10th anniversary and it couldn’t have been better. The staff was friendly and made great conversation with incredible service. The rooms don’t feel like a hotel, they are very spacious and airy (very high ceilings). The dining was amazing and there was an option for different moods. We’ve been looking for a spot downtown and think we’ve found it!

The property was amazing. The location is first-rate, and the amenities and the staff are fantastic. Located in the heart of downtown Detroit, allows you to visit all sporting events and endless eateries and bars.

We had such a wonderful stay at the Roost Detroit! From the moment we walked in, the building’s ambience was warm, stylish, and inviting—it really sets the tone for a comfortable stay. Everything was impeccably clean, from our room to the shared spaces, which made us feel instantly at ease. A special thank you to Dominic at the front desk, who was incredibly helpful and efficient. He went above and beyond to make sure our experience was smooth and enjoyable, and his welcoming attitude truly stood out. Overall, the Roost Detroit exceeded our expectations, and we’ll definitely be staying here again the next time we’re in the city!

What an amazing and wonderful overnight at Roost Detroit! Self-park with in and out privileges less than a block away. A warm, open and gorgeously restored lobby reception area with a bar / pastry area and offices on the perimeter of the hotel's entrance. We were welcomed by Yvette who received us with a smile, sincere and warm. She filled us in on access tips to make the most of our stay. She followed up on how we were enjoying our stay when we passed her as we made our way to one of the two terrific restaurants housed within the building. Our studio was fabulous - loved the layout! White paint, updated decor, and everything needed for a multi-night stay, if only we had more nights to do so! Lighting was perfect. Outlets for electronic devices were functional and plentiful. The live plants present was a nice, homey touch too. Whole bean coffee with a grinder and coffee maker made for a lazy stay-in-room morning before breakfast the next day. Know that a study space with coffee, tea and a few other beverages is available on site too. The bedding was fresh and comfy, as was the mattress and towels. The bathroom was larger than expected, and the shower temp and pressure were great. We had an inner atrium view which was not fabulous, but as we were only doing an overnight with a full schedule the next day, it was no loss (plus, it was probably quieter). The hotel staff are proud of their space. There is an interactive, downloadable AI app available to learn more about the restorative efforts that Bedrock and the developer, Dan Gilbert made to bring this beautiful historic structure back to its original glory, and beyond. Recommended. Though i did not use the fitness facility, i did peak within. Wow!!! Big, bright with a view of the city streets below! Workout equipment galore and brand new! I think it's another win. Well worth a stay here!

This is an extended stay hotel and I think this is the new way to travel. The hotel room had a fully stocked kitchen, there was a washer/dryer combo, the bed was comfy, the bathroom was clean and you could tell that everything had recently been renovated. There is always a flip side to everything - the clothes dryer took forever to dry clothes (I had to hang them up overnight to get them completely dried). The windows could not keep out the noise of car engines revving - happened every night we were there. Also they had shades over the windows that couldn't completely keep out the street light. The hotel was beautiful and really well done. They made a very nice sitting/ meeting/ working area in their lobby. They also had 4-5 restaurants, the gym was absolutely fantastic- they had full barbells and a full set of weight training equipment in addition to all the normals: cardio equipment, barbells and mats + floor exercise equipment. Another huge bonus is the proximity to many restaurants, a bit of shopping in the area, and the one-stop direct airport bus was within a block of the hotel. No long walks with your luggage clanking around behind you. The only reason I didn't give this review full stars were the few items I mentioned earlier in this review - however that may have only been a problem in my room? Other than those few things, I really enjoyed my stay.

Chic hotel with walkable proximity to all that downtown Detroit has to offer. The hotel lobby is just stunning. The architecture is exquisite and the sky lights are works of art. The bedrooms are cozy, but small, while the adjoining suite living and kitchen area are quite large. The lack of curtains (only shades) let some of the street light in to the bedroom. The bed was extremely comfortable. Unfortunately the hotel staff - from receptionist to the breakfast barista - seemed to almost go out of their way to be condescending to maybe come off as cool? It was so strong it almost seemed like an act. And so we bit into our croissants, which are baked on site. The chocolate croissant was quite good; in contrast the almond croissant was one baked, stale mass without feuilles inside. Lastly, the security cameras in the cafe sitting area are a bit off putting. Still, the beauty of the interior architecture is why I'd recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Detroit.

My husband and I decided to have a little staycation in Detroit for my birthday a few months ago and I wanted to check out one of the newer hotels in the city. To be honest, I didn't even know ROOST existed until I started searching for last minute reservations. It checked off everything on my list -- downtown/walkable to LCA (we were going to see Olivia Rodrigo that weekend as well), close enough to food and beverage options so we didn't have to go far in the cold (they have 6 restaurants and bars on the property, including a coffee kiosk in the lobby which is an absolute MUST for any overnight stay), and a reasonable price point. First things first-- The hotel is located inside the recently renovated Book Tower building and they did an INCREDIBLE job renovating it. The building is GORGEOUS. My husband is a photographer and marveled at the transformation ("last time I was here this building was abandoned"). The lobby, the restaurants, the bars, etc. Everything there is absolutely stunning. Kudos to the folks who captured the grandeur of the previous building and brought it slightly more into the future. Secondly, this is an extended stay hotel which means your room will have all the comforts of home. A kitchenette with a plenty of utensils, cookware and serving ware to utilize if you'd like to cook on site. A few coffee brewing options (including a pour over set), an inconspicuous dishwasher (we don't even have a dishwasher at home!), a washer and dryer, small seating area with a HUGE TV, etc. Our room also had an amazing view of the city which I also appreciated. Oh, and it's pet friendly! We were there for only there 2 nights and yet I'm still feeling nostalgic over the experience and cannot wait to get there to stay again.

First time staying here while in downtown Detroit. Very easy to navigate to, valet service was super easy and the room itself was fantastic. Happy to see they thought of all the little things - had a full kitchen, very spacious living room and bedroom and the price was reasonable. We will come back here in the future - too good to pass up.

Perfect for an extended stay for business or vacation. Safe, comfortable walking distance from the Convention Center or you can take the People Mover (currently free) from directly behind the hotel straight in to the convention center.

Front desk is rude and disrespectful. Had prepaid for the weekend, arrived at 11pm after a 7 hour drive. They required a $250 deposit charge on cc which my sons cc didn't show. Front desk denied him the room, even after we offered cash or an alternative cc. This room was prepaid and the deposit could've been resolved in the am but front desk preferred to behave in a rude and aggressive manner. Never again!

Great location! Right next to everything. Quiet but they have white noise machines if you want. Really nice staff. They were helpful and will get you anything you need. Coffee bistro in lobby. Comfy beds.

I didn't love Roost like everyone else . I found it lacking in a vibe especially in the apartments. They were flat and plain ... the restaurants were cute but the apartments were just boxes.. I would rather stay at a hotel that has some character ....

Had a very memorable time at this boutique hotel. Stayed in a studio that offered a modern kitchen and bathroom. The queen size bed was super comfortable and provided me with a good nights sleep. I highly recommended this hotel for anyone looking for a clean, stylish and upscale hotel experience. It's conveniently located in the heart of Detroit's Downtown Historic District. Walking distance to many restaurants and speak easy type bars. Guests should also make sure to visit Kamper's rooftop lounge for tapas and drinks. The view of the city from the rooftop was incredible and worth seeing. A special thanks to Frank (a very friendly and attentive bartender who I hope I spelled her name correctly) and Jeremy (Hotel Manager) for making my visit very enjoyable. I look forward to coming back again sometime soon.

Hands down one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed in! Besides the fact that it's walking distance to EVERYTHING, our room had everything you could ever want for a single night or an extended stay. Couch, lounge chair, kitchenette with high end appliances (gas range, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, toaster, coffee pot, washer and dryer), drink ware (even a shot glass and cocktail mixer), dishes and a massive smart TV!! It was extremely clean and just felt like home. It even has 2 live plants for better air quality and a cozier feel! I recommend 10/10 and will definitely be staying here again!
