Welcome to the heart of bustling Downtown Detroit. Once the city’s firehouse headquarters, our landmark building now serves as a spirited gathering place where travelers and Detroiters alike share stories, savor great food, and connect with the Motor City’s creative and resilient soul.
Standing strong since 1929, our five-story, 100-room limestone and brick landmark still carries the spirit of service that defined it for more than 80 years. Where sirens once echoed, a convivial hum and lively energy now fills these halls.
Whether you’re here for a night, a meal, or simply a drink among friends, you’re part of Detroit’s continuing story — one that’s always been about building a lasting, solid foundation designed to move you forward.
