The 
Detroit 
Foundation 

Hotel used to be home to 

the Detroit Fire Department 

Headquarters. It has been repurposed and 

now operates as a chic boutique hotel in 

Downtown Detroit. The Foundation holds a 

restaurant called the Apparatus Room where 

the old red fire doors let in beautiful natural 

light showcasing the 1950s architecture with 

all of the original features illuminating the res-

taurant. The restaurant and hotel provide a 

cozy and eclectic atmosphere, whether you 

want to enjoy a nice dinner or spend a week-

end in this hotel’s historic beauty.
