ROOST Detroit

We love it here—this hotel has become our go-to whenever we're in downtown Detroit. The location is ideal, with easy access to everything we need. The rooms are spacious, clean, and tastefully designed—minimalist but comfortable. What really sets it apart is the atmosphere: it’s refined and classy, but still relaxed and unpretentious. Always a smooth and enjoyable experience.

Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights for company get together and meetins. It was a wonderful surprise, such a beautiful hotel. The rooms did not disappoint. Separate bedroom & bath, with lovely kitchen and living. It even came with upright washer/dryer (came in handy after getting caught in the rain). Loved the provided coffee beans, grinder and coffee maker (or optional pour over), filters. Best coffee i have had staying at a hotel. It was all clean and nice modern look. A very nice hotel for work and to come back to each evening. Actually, would come back for pleasure stay some day.

Wonderful hotel in the heart of downtown. Walking distance to many great spots. Clean and well-appointed apartment-style rooms. Comfy beds. Great service. Lobby is gorgeous....feels like Paris! Definitely recommend.

I've stayed at ROOST Detroit multiple times now. This is the 2nd meeting I have hosted here as well. Rooms are very unique, like having your own apartment in the city. The food is great and restaurant choices are very diverse. I'd 100% recommend checking this place out in person.

Absolutely incredible!! This has the wow factor as soon as you enter. All employees are above first class. Ambience is amazing. Cleanliness is unmatched anywhere!! My wife wore white socks in the room, which was impeccable, and at the end of the night they were spotless. No dust to be seen anywhere. And we look. Amenities are incredible, even had live plants in the room. Room size is perfect. Kitchen was great. Best spot in Detroit. Hands down can’t say enough good things about this property.

What a disappointment. We chose this hotel for the history and renovation. But the lodging concept is poorly conceived and executed. All of the door hinges squeaked (and they only fixed one when we complained.) The coffee grinder was broken. The floors were sticky. (We upgraded to the best room and still?!) Not one piece of art on the walls. The bathroom fan was loud and rattling - disturbing sleep. The bedding was polyester. Ugh!!||The service is impatient, barely tolerating guests. The valet could never be found and the app didn’t work on the last day of our stay.||Yes, the lobby is gorgeous and the renovation is stunning. But Roost is just a sub tenant in the building, owned by private equity, and it feels like they are trying to get every nickel from you. The bartenders in the lobby were poorly trained and not very professional. ||I am glad I tried it but the whole concept is stupid and the execution poor.||Never again. Going back to the DAC and the Foundation for my Detroit stays.

Roost was such a nice surprise! We loved everything about it. From the location, the staff, the cleanliness to the service and the room/studio. Everything was impeccable. The rooftop was a great plus as well. Definitely recommend and will for sure be back.

Such a comfortable 2-bedroom apartment for a really reasonable rate! We slept wonderfully. Absolutely no street or hallway noise. Beautiful lobby and lots of dining options in the building. Would stay here any time.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ....

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!
