Please note: We are not taking reservations for this hotel at the current time.
The one-dimensional portrayal of Detroit as post-industrial ex-city is long out of date. Out of every bust comes a boom, eventually, and this town is definitely on the up. For a miniature version of Detroit’s renewal story, take Trumbull & Porter, a one-time Holiday Inn whose transformation brings new life to Corktown, an old Irish neighborhood just to the west of downtown.
Hometown pride reigns supreme here, driving local procurement in nearly every aspect, from the suds by Batch Brewing Company to the custom rental bikes by Detroit Bikes. Far from disavowing the area’s cradle-of-industry background, Trumbull & Porter wholeheartedly embraces the aesthetic; Patrick Thompson Design incorporated exposed conduits and bulbs, polished concrete, and whitewashed brick throughout the interior. The 144 rooms soften the effect with custom furnishings by local artisans, enlivened here and there by pastels and patterned textiles. It’s human minimalism, clean-lined and utilitarian without skimping on the creature comforts.
You’ll be within an easy walk of the happening Michigan Avenue scene, but T & P itself is no slouch in the food and beverage department. Burroughs Lounge, situated in the lobby, takes its name from the grandfather of the literary titan, proudly forefronting an authentic pair of his period adding machines. Red Dunn Kitchen is more or less the star of the show, slinging casual New American plates and a variety of liquids to pair; in clement weather, the courtyard hosts an art showcase and beer garden with live (and, there it is again, local) music. Drink and make merry, there’s life in this city yet.
