DETROIT — If you’d like to spend a night (or more) at the historic Michigan Central station, the opportunity is coming.
Michigan Central, the Ford affiliate that redeveloped the long-derelict landmark structure that reopened last year, announced today (June 2, 2025) that NoMad Hotels will open a hotel with about 180 rooms within the building. The hotel, expected to open in 2027, will feature rooms including 30 suites on the top five floors, making the first time in the building’s history that floors 14 through 18 will be occupied. The hotel will also anchor the building’s west side; NoMad will also develop the station’s historic restaurant space and its carriage house with restaurant and bar offerings.
“A year after we opened Michigan Central Station to the world, our vision to create a global innovation hub and a destination symbolizing Detroit’s future is well underway,” Bill Ford, executive chair of Ford Motor Co., said in a press release. “Together with NoMad and Hilton, we are now announcing the next phase of our ambitious vision offering visitors and the community a unique hotel destination and memorable food and beverage experiences in this iconic landmark.”
NoMad, which has a hotel in London and is developing another in Singapore, is part of Hilton’s portfolio of luxury hotels. “This project champions Detroit, rejuvenates a historic landmark, and marks Hilton’s luxury debut in Michigan, part of Hilton’s aim to serve every stay occasion in every location,” said Kara Randall, Hilton vice president, luxury and mixed-use development.
Michigan Central Station reopened in June 2024 after a six-year renovation [see “Michigan Central Station opens its doors,” Trains News Wire, June 7, 2024]. The massive Beaux Arts structure, built in 1913, is now the center of a 30-acre innovation campus.
