ROOST Detroit

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.

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!

We stayed at the Roost after my husband's work Christmas party! The Roost is nestled the heart of Detroit in a beautifully restored building that has many amenities and many unique restaurants, ||a wonderful, uniqueplace to get ready before our Christmas party and to stay afterwards. The valet and team at The Establishment was amazing and very friendly and helped us retrieve a needed item that I had left in our car. Every moment at The Roost was upscale, not stuffy and wonderful.

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!

There are so, so many things that are exceptional about ROOST and so many reasons it is the best stay I have ever experienced. But there is one dimension in particular I want to highlight: I came to ROOST after being recently abruptly displaced from one place after another over the past 2 months as a result of an ex I have a PPO against; in the past 2 months alone, I was displaced from or had to abruptly leave and scramble to find a safe place to stay at least 4 times. Most recently, I was left with less than 24 hours to find a safe place to stay. It has been extremely hard to find housing that is both safe and staffed with caring people who are responsive to and prioritize my safety needs as a survivor. My experience at the last place I stayed made me feel that my needs and even the simplest requests to support my safety were as burdensome and unreasonable, in ways that compounded my feelings of being an unwanted burden on the basis of my survivorship. In the conditions in which I had to leave my most recent home, and experiencing these repeated displacements, particularly in such a short amount of time — it has felt almost impossible to find safe housing. The conditions in which I had to leave my most recent home me also compounded my already existing feelings that my safety doesn’t matter and that my life and safety are disposable as a survivor. In the short time I have stayed at ROOST, I have experienced the highest level of care for my safety and responsiveness to my needs as a survivor of intimate partner violence than I have experienced at any place I have ever stayed. The staff have gone above and beyond to make me feel like a valued guest —like I’m wanted, like I matter, like my safety matters, and to assure me of their commitment to my safety through both their words and numerous material steps they have taken to support my safety — both in response to my concerns/requests and through their own proactive actions. Though I have stayed at ROOST not much longer than 24 hours, I am already deeply touched/ moved by the experience the staff have created for me during my stay. It has been a deeply moving and powerful and corrective experience — and one that reignites my hope that it is possible to find safe, dignified housing with incredibly caring staff who are indubitably committed to my safety. Inside the general, nationwide gaps in safe housing options for survivors, especially survivors with a high risk profile — survivors and advocacy organizations with at-capacity shelters alike often turn to hotel stays to fill these gaps. In the experience they have generated for me in just over a day, I want to also uplift the ways ROOST is modeling and living up to the fullest possibilities through which hotels can uniquely contribute to filling these gaps. I would offer my whole hearted and heartfelt recommendation to stay at ROOST for all of the reasons others’ glowing reviewers have already attested to. And, I would add my whole-hearted and heartfelt recommendation to stay at ROOST for any survivor who is seeking a safe place to stay where they can be confident and fully assured that the caring and attentive staff will manage their stay through the highest level of priority and commitment to their safety.

Greeting and service upon arrival was excellent, décor and ambiance was relaxing though professional. Room was comfortable and accommodating. Professional space was spacious, the exercise area is well equipped and modern. Overall a very nice place to stay, excellent location providing access to pretty much the entire downtown area, events, offices, restaurants, and shopping. Overall a great stay, I love the location. Front desk staff was exemplary

My husband & I recently stayed at The Roost Hotel for my birthday. They offer a special for locals to book a stay. Well worth it for a special occasion. The Book Tower is a beautiful building!

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.

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!
