Originally opened in 1913, Michigan Central Station was designed by architects Warren & Wetmore and Reed & Stem, the same team behind New York’s iconic Grand Central Terminal. The last train left Michigan Central Station in 1988, and the building stood vacant for roughly 30 years before being purchased by Ford.

The hotel is expected to feature luxury wellness facilities and 30 suites on the upper floors, marking the first time the building’s 14-18 floors will be occupied.
The more than 110-year history of Michigan Central Station will significantly influence the hotel’s design. Officials said restorations of historic architectural details are crucial, not just for the aesthetic appeal of the hotel but also to ensure that each guest’s stay fosters a connection to the city.
