Cambria Hotel Detroit Downtown Opens
Lobby at the Cambria Hotel Detroit Downtown
Cambria Hotels, part of the Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH) family of brands, announced the opening of the Cambria Hotel Detroit Downtown. The new 154-room hotel marks the latest in a series of recent city center locations the brand has debuted including in Austin, Texas; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Portland, Maine; and Savannah, Georgia.
Located at 600 West Lafayette in Detroit’s central business district, the Cambria Hotel Detroit Downtown is an adaptive reuse of The Walker-Roehrig Building. The building’s transformation can be seen as an expression of the city itself; paying homage to its legacy while boldly forging its identity. The Cambria Hotel Detroit Downtown provides guests with easy access to the corporate offices for Ally Finance, Quicken Loans, Ford Motor Company and General Motors, along with the Michigan Department of Transportation, Wayne State University and the University of Detroit. The hotel is a short walk to popular bars and restaurants along the city’s riverfront, as well as the Detroit Opera House, the Ford Field football stadium, Comerica Park baseball stadium and Little Caesar’s Arena.
“While best known for its automotive tradition, the Motor City is home to a wonderful breadth of industries – from engineering and healthcare to finance and technology – and Detroit’s newest downtown hotel perfectly situates guests at this intersection of commerce and culture,” said Janis Cannon, senior vice president, upscale brands, Choice Hotels. “The Cambria Hotel Detroit Downtown combines Motown’s rich history of innovation, ambition and talent with stylish design and tailored amenities, and we look forward to serving as the home-base for the millions of creators and modern travelers who visit the city annually.”
