    The downtown Marriott Ren-Cen is part of the GM World headquarters complex. It's the imposing building off Jefferson. If you stay here you're sure to get a great view in this lovely hotel. It's the tallest hotel in America. It's clean, and has very comfortable beds. Inside the building are several shops, including a Pure Detroit store that you shouldn't miss. There are many dining choices including swanky Seldom Blues which is also a Jazz venue. Go out the back entrance for views of the Detroit River. The place is huge, with an 8 story lobby so don't get lost. It used to remind me of the movie Logans Run.

    Easy to find, fantastic views including a restaurant and bar at the top (it doesn't revolve anymore). The restaurant has gotten lukewarm reviews but it may be nice for a drink.
    The people mover stops here.

    Room prices can range anywhere to under $100.00 to 250.00

    • I was not too sure about staying at this hotel as it was rated only 3 stars- but I was pleasantly surprised. The rooms were clean and not too small. We stayed on the 15th floor with a view of the river/casino/key bridge/etc.

    Two complaints about the hotel. 1) they blacked out the Michigan football game in our room (said we would have to go to the bar to view it) 2) when we called regarding our reservation we were told that all the rooms were King/No-Smoking- which is not the case. We lucked out with the last King/No-Smoking room for the weekend.

    The beds were fantastic. Great sheets, comforter and pillow.

    • The Renaissance Center is hard to miss, it is the tallest building in the downtown Detroit area and also the tallest in Michigan for that matter. The Ren-Cen as locals call it, is a mix of office/hotel/retail shopping and is linked to Detroit's downtown People Mover, the People Mover is currently closed at the Ren-Cen but a skywalk to the Millander Center where another People Mover station is located is your best bet to get on the People Mover. The People Mover stops at 13 stations downtown with stops at Joe Louis Arena, Cobo Hall and Greektown as well as others. The Ren-Cen is currently undergoing a major renavation and some areas of the building might be closed. I will keep you updated.

    The view of Detroit from the Ren-Cen's 73rd floor is as beautiful as the Sears Tower or CN Tower or even the Empire State Building although Detroit's view isn't as high up it's still a great view. On a clear day you can see the entire Metro area, plus Canada. The farthest I have ever seen the Ren-Cen on land was from a pier on Lake St. Clair at Metro Beach which is about 20 miles from downtown Detroit as the crow flys, driving it's about 30-35 miles. Last time I checked the 73rd floor was still under construction and was closed during this construction.

  • Directions: The Renaissance Center is hard to miss downtown, take Jefferson Avenue to Bates Street and make a right, make a left on Atwater to Ren Cen Drive West to the hotel enterance.

    Although this is now a Marriott property, I think it was a Westin when I stayed here in 1996. I was down in Detroit for the wedding of a former student of mine; this was where the reception was held, and it was the "official hotel" of the ceremony. The Renaissance Center has an odd feeling about it - as it is very reluctant to have anything to do with the city it happens to be in. Access to the hotel is peculiarly difficult. It was designed by the most famous hotel architect of the 1970s, John Portman, and when I stayed there some years back it still felt like it belonged in the era of disco and Jimmy Carter. But it has comfortable guestrooms, and one of those weird revolving restaurants on the roof. It's a very tall hotel, and I had a room on the 44th floor. My strongest memory of the place is getting back to my room very late at night after a little too much champagne, ordering a pepperoni pizza from room service, and watching the police helicopters with their searchlights fly over various Detroit neighborhoods. You only live once!
