ROOST Detroit

ROOST Detroit opened in June 2023 inside the newly restored Book Tower, becoming Michigan's first high-design, apartment-style extended-stay hotel. Developed by Method Co. with Bedrock following the tower's roughly $400 million historic restoration, it is the first hotel ever to operate in the landmark downtown skyscraper.

The place

ROOST Detroit occupies floors of the restored Book Tower on Washington Boulevard in downtown Detroit, a historic office skyscraper redeveloped by Bedrock after a seven-year, roughly $400 million restoration.

The concept

ROOST Detroit opened June 1, 2023 as Michigan's first high-design extended-stay, apartment-hotel concept from Philadelphia-based Method Co., marking the first hotel operation ever housed inside Book Tower. Its 117 studio, one- and two-bedroom units pair full kitchens, stainless-steel appliances and hardwood floors with boutique-hotel service and design, positioning it between a traditional hotel and a furnished apartment. The opening was part of a broader relaunch of Book Tower that added office space, residences and a cluster of new dining and event concepts under the Anthology events program, making ROOST both a hotel and an anchor tenant of one of downtown Detroit's most significant historic restorations.

Dining & wellness

Guests have access to Book Tower's on-site restaurant and bar collection, including Bar Rotunda (designed by ODA with a cristallo quartzite and tambour-wood bar), rooftop cocktail venues, a coworking space, bike share and a 24-hour fitness center.
