Following a comprehensive, $92 Million restoration of the historic David Whitney Building, one of the most important structures in downtown Detroit and one of only three surviving buildings in the city by the renowned architectural firm of Daniel H. Burnham & Co., has been restored to its original 1915 grandeur – a 19-story symbol of classic American strength and beauty. Beautifully lit by a skylight and adorned with marble, terra cotta and gold leafing, the building’s four-story lobby offers a one-of-a-kind welcome. In the floors above, 136 hotel rooms and 105 residences marry contemporary design and décor with every modern comfort.

Built in pairs. Designed for two.
The beds. The lamps. The view.

We didn’t leave anything to chance.
Neither should you ✦

The atrium draws them in.
The history holds their attention.
The rooms remind them this isn’t a conventional hotel.

What brings them back is simpler.
The welcome here was never meant to feel standard.

Crafted in collaboration with Detroit City Distillery, three spirits created exclusively for this building, an Old Fashioned touched with raw Michigan honey, a small-batch gin and a straight whiskey with depth and restraint.

Some places are worth stepping out for, even when you don’t have to go far.

Just steps from the hotel, Presley’s Kitchen + Bar feels like part of the experience. It is the kind of place you book twice, without thinking twice.

It’s 1915. The door opens with a softened chime.

Inside Capper & Capper, Detroit’s exclusive retailer of Hickey Freeman suits, gentlemen step into two full floors of tailoring, hats, and carefully chosen accessories. Beneath tall ceilings and filtered daylight, a salesman adjusts the tilt of a brim.

Between those floors, they rode the elevator, gloved hands resting lightly against brass.

The wood has deepened. The city has changed.
But the lift still rises the way it always did.

Capper & Capper would remain a Detroit institution for decades, its oval hatboxes proudly marked “Detroit Outfitters to Gentlemen,” before closing in the late 1980s.

Today, the space has taken on a different rhythm, now home to a coffee shop that serves the building in a new way.

What do you notice first when you arrive at a hotel?
The architecture? The room? The view?

Or is it the smile at the door.
The eye contact that feels real.
The quiet sense that someone is ready to help.

At Hotel David Whitney, you’re not just arriving.
You’re being received.

First visit: “This is mesmerizing.”
Second visit: “Is that room available again?”
Third visit: “Please say hello to Kevin at the bar.”

That evolution is our favorite part.
