This is a beautiful hotel
Everything from design to spotlessness is top notch. Very friendly staff and delicious food at the restaurant. Highly recommend.
The Foundation is a lovely historic hotel in downtown Detroit with modern amenities and beautiful furnishings. The rooms are large and tastefully decorated (with a wonderful cozy robe!), the restaurant/bar is lively and the gym is large with a full range of equipment, including Peloton bikes. I will definitely stay there again!
We chose Foundation Hotel as our wedding weekend stay and have absolutely no regrets! From valet to the room service everything was exceptional. I couldn’t recommend it more and can’t wait to return!
Historic and charming hotel. Staff was helpful and very welcoming. Everything was clean and well kept. Location was perfect for exploring nearby eateries and activities. Perfect for a weekend getaway in Detroit.
Very well appointed room. Decor was artsy-modern. Excellent location with places to sit and wait for rideshare vehicles. Unfortunately, I did expect some hospitality touches such as bottled water being provided in the room or a efficient way to have dishes cleared away after room service, for the price point. However, none of that was present or evident. Kitchen of the attached redo closed earlier than expected, even on a holiday Sunday. Overall, lovely stay
This hotel was so great, my new favorite in Detroit! They have great staff, an incredible gym, free coffee, and it's in a great location. I cannot wait to come back!

This hotel is nice enough for an old fire station and fire department headquarters. It’s a bit worn especially in the lobby area. The room we had was large and well appointed. And the staff everywhere was super friendly and helpful.
Great experience. Staff was great! One thing, if you need ice you have to call down and there is no free water that we could see so make sure to buy some before you get there. Other than that, the property is great, rooms were quite spacious and enjoyed our time. Would recommend and would go back for sure.
We enjoyed our stay. A beautiful and well maintained property. 3/4 staff meme era we interacted with were friendly and helpful. Walkable to many places like comerica park and Woodward ave. Restaurant and room service food was great!
Check-in was so smooth, and then I walked into a beautiful, well-decorated room. I loved the aesthetics and history behind the building. The gnocchi dinner at the bar was incredible. Highly recommend the Foundation for your next Detroit visit.
Great vibe!!! Loved the unique boutique feeling of this hotel. Location was so walkable to everything in downtown Detroit. Loved the bar that is attached to the hotel. Highly recommend this location.
