Shinola Hotel in Detroit

In downtown Detroit a new hotel has just opened its doors and design lovers will love it! Shinola Hotel is a collaboration between Shinola, a Detroit-based watch and leather goods manufacturer, and Bedrock, Detroit’s premier multiservice real estate firm.

New York–based Gachot Studios and the Detroit-based Kraemer Design Group designed the beautiful hotel by converting 2 old buildings and building 3 more to create a 129-room boutique hotel.
