The Detroit Club

Stayed with my wife for one night for a romantic gateway. We booked a couple massage and had a dinner at the Bohemia restaurant at the hotel. The hotel building is a very interesting historical property with many elements preserved from the past: wooden elements of the décor, some paintings, original telephone booths, book shelves etc. We had a room on 4th floor. The room was comfortable, sleep quality was great, everything was clean, just what you expect from this upscale property. Massage was good, visit to the "cove" and infra red sauna was worth it. Dinner was ok, let's say 3.5 stars out of 5. The food quality was good, but not fantastic. I expected something more fancy at that place. Will come back again, it was overall a very nice experience.

I went to Detroit with my husband for a one day family occasion and stayed overnight at the luxurious Detroit Club. The room was quiet, very comfortable and well stocked with snacks and a drinks fridge. The valet service for our car was very easy and discreet. The reception staff members were welcoming, efficient and extremely helpful. I had worried the hotel restaurant was closed on the day we arrived. The reception desk recommended some outstanding restaurants and we enjoyed an excellent meal within a short walk. This is a calm, welcoming and very luxurious boutique hotel. We would definitely stay at the Detroit Club again.

While in town on business travel, I noticed the historical Detroit Club building and looked it up. It seemed interesting, so I booked a massage followed by dinner. This was the best decision I made on my trip! I had the back, shoulder and neck massage at the Spa. Much needed after days of traveling and long hours of work. The spa was luxurious, the masseuse was highly skilled, and I felt great afterwards. The spa is on the bottom floor and includes a pool, sauna and very large changing room with lockers (very luxurious) with all the amenities for you to return yourself to 'normal' after your treatments and go into public! I arrived early for my dinner reservation - it was technically before the restaurant opened but the staff was super nice and seated me anyway. They shared the history of the building and the club and showed me interesting details (the dining room still has the original wallpaper at the top of the ~20 ft ceilings and the chandeliers that are electric now are the same ones that used to hold candles.). The dining room is luxurious in every way. You truly get a feel of what private clubs in the late 1800s were like. You can tell the club is working to maintain the luxury and exclusiveness - so that when one attends the club, it feels very special. It's actually a real treat to get to go to the club as it used to be membership only - but due to being closed during COVID - they have opened up to non-members. They do plan to eventually go back to a membership basis so I highly recommend going now - especially if you don't live in the area, like me! The staff was super friendly and very responsive and made me feel at home. Since I was by myself, I had time to look around and watch. The staff learns everyone's name and addresses them by name during the whole meal. It was touching to see the staff preparing tables for upcoming reservations. I heard them saying to each other: 'This table is for the XX family. Let's move this here so they can see out the window. This table is for so and so - we should put the glasses here.' They were thinking about the experience just like you and I would plan for family coming to eat. I also noticed - with my meal and others - that the food is served in courses - with very intentional timing based on time to eat the previous course, digestion time, etc. They specifically discussed these courses and the timing when I asked. It was perfect for me to enjoy the meal - but very unlike typical American dining experiences where you have starters, an entrée and dessert and they are served as fast as you can wolf them down or even at the same time. Be sure to plan time to eat here - don't expect to rush. I was never longer than 5 minutes without a course, but I was given enough time to eat it and a course was never brought out before I had finished the one before. The food was top notch! I had french mussels - cooked perfectly with a garlic butter sauce and warm bread for my first course. It was followed by

Overall, the venue itself is wonderful, and the people/employees are great and very warm to you upon arrival. The bar area is wonderful, called the lLbrary, and makes great drinks. The problem is the restaurant, while a great environment, the food is just not good. We tried a variety of different items, including dessert, and they all missed the mark.

i loved the charm and personality of the building! It was a delightful place to stay.

Everything was wonderful, unique historic property with modern amenities. Staff was friendly and accommodating

This hotel was amazing. We will definitely be here again. There was a problem with our room’s hot water but this was corrected immediately and we ended up getting complimentary drinks from the bartender as a result. Great live music too in their bar.

It was elegant and quiet. A lovely Library Bar. A nice continental breakfast. Does have a dress code, which keeps it classy. We will definitely stay again.

Beautiful space, special touches, cozy bed, the valet and all around assistant Willy Wine was a pleasure to talk with and very kind and helpful!
