The 203-room Doubletree Guest Suites is scheduled to open here Dec. 15, reported the Detroit Free Press. The property was formerly the Ft. Shelby Hotel, which had been shuttered since the mid-1970s.
The Doubletree will be among the latest new hotels, including the Westin Book Cadillac, to open in recent months in downtown Detroit.
“With the addition of the [Doubletree] and other recent hotels, we now have the opportunity to compete for business that was out of our reach before,” Detroit Metro CVB spokeswoman Renee Monforton said.
The hotel includes a ballroom and more than a dozen meeting rooms.
