The two-room suite is done in shades of brown and chartreuse and furnishings speak to modern elegance. “Mom, there’s nothing like waking up in Detroit 25 floors up!” exclaimed our ten-year-old son one morning, and he’s right. Inside, accommodations are spacious and families would be wise to choose a luxury suite on a high floor. The 400-room hotel is a blue-glass tower whose sleek profile can be seen for miles around. Where to stay: The Greektown Casino-Hotel may cater to high rollers but it works surprisingly well for families for two reasons: the property is located in the walkable, fun-filled Greektown neighborhood, and the casino is housed in a separate building. Set aside the mainstream media’s dire messaging around “The D” and embrace the many pleasures of this Midwestern landmark, most of them family-friendly.
Detroit touts itself as the home of cars, culture, gaming, music and sports and it’s all there in a city with a storied past and an eye to the future.
