What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, Wallpaper* and AFAR.
The result is a stylish, youth-oriented boutique hotel that plays up its historical heritage, its interiors recalling an idealized version of Detroit’s manufacturing heyday.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Fronting bustling Woodward Avenue, the hotel opens at the rear directly onto the independent boutiques and casual eateries of Parker's Alley.
The rooms
Fifty distinct layouts showcase hardwood floors and loft windows, while select suites add deep soaking tubs, fireplaces, and vinyl turntables.
The gym
Peloton bikes and cardio equipment line the wood-paneled gym, and Shinola loaner bicycles wait for street exploration.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
San Morello
Wood-fired pizzas and handmade pastas emerge from the open kitchen, served across checkerboard floors or out on the sidewalk terrace.
Conceived as the city’s living room, Shinola Hotel brings together several new eateries and bars overseen by chef Andrew Carmellini and Noho Hospitality Group...
At the table
The wood-paneled Evening Bar serves craft cocktails, and drinks carry into the glass-roofed conservatory lounge.
How it began
Five interconnected buildings unite the property, restoring a 1915 terracotta department store and a Singer sewing machine shop alongside three modern annexes.
“Camel, grey, blush, and deep green tones complement oil-rubbed bronze, soft leather, plush mohair, and American white oak—a palette inspired by London social clubs.”
