The name, The Siren Hotel, is inspired by Greek mythology. Here, The Siren calls the people back to Detroit.
The front desk looks straight out of Old Hollywood, except nowadays the receptionist will text you when your room is ready.
The lobby is total romance, with velvet chairs, custom and vintage furniture, big antique mirrors and leafy plants.
The Wurlitzer Building opened in 1926 as the factory and showroom of musical instrument makers, Wurlitzer Co. As with much of downtown Detroit, the building eventually became a ruin. When the demolition crew uncovered this piece of the original ceiling, the designers decided to keep it.
The beautiful shop is filled with Detroit-made curios and other interesting pieces, like Le Monde Beryl slippers custom-made for the hotel.
Populace Coffee is a Michigan favorite (named Michigan’s “Best Coffee” by Food & Wine in 2018).
Throughout the day, locals come in to grab a coffee and hang out in the lobby.
A few original details remain: the staircase, the travertine floors, the terracotta signs and the piece of ceiling at the entrance. Also, see that phone booth behind me? If you pick it up, it calls a phone booth in the lobby of one of ASH NYC’s other hotels, The Dean in Providence, RI, or Hotel Peter and Paul in New Orleans.
The suites are the most impressive rooms on property. Each of the suites is a bit different, but all have two floors, lofted bedrooms and homey details throughout.
The “Siren” theme continues on beautiful woven blankets in every room.
Candy Bar pre-opening. (Otherwise we’d never get this photo – the place is always popping.)
Long day? The hotel makes a compelling case for staying in. The TV comes loaded with Netflix.

With open WiFi, a communal table and Populace Coffee, the lobby is a popular place for cool locals to work.
