(PRESS RELEASE) DETROIT, 2025-Jun-4 — /Travel PR News/ — NoMad Hotels, a luxury lifestyle brand renowned for its distinctive and creative approach to hospitality, has announced its highly anticipated debut in Detroit. The new NoMad Detroit will be located within Ford Motor Company’s visionary Michigan Central Station redevelopment, a 30-acre cultural and tech hub in Detroit. The property, expected to open in 2027, will be the brand’s first luxury lifestyle hotel in Michigan and marks an exciting addition to Hilton’s portfolio of luxury and lifestyle brands.

The Station at Michigan Central, an iconic structure originally built in 1913, is being reimagined as a global innovation hub, and NoMad’s arrival is a significant step in this transformation. The new NoMad Detroit will occupy the top five floors of the building’s tower, offering nearly 180 rooms, including 30 suites, and will be the first hotel to occupy these floors in the building’s history. Guests will be treated to unparalleled views of the surrounding Corktown and Southwest neighborhoods, downtown Detroit, and even across to Canada.

The hotel’s design will reflect both NoMad’s signature global aesthetic and the rich cultural and historical significance of Michigan Central Station. NoMad has earned a reputation for creating spaces that celebrate local art, culture, and history, and NoMad Detroit will be no exception. The interior spaces will be a collaborative effort, with a focus on featuring work from Detroit artists and makers, grounding the hotel in the local community while maintaining NoMad’s global spirit.

“We are thrilled to partner with Ford and Hilton to bring NoMad to Detroit, a city that’s rapidly becoming a global hub for innovation and creativity,” said Andrew Zobler, CEO of Sydell Group, the parent company of NoMad Hotels. “Detroit is a city with a remarkable history and an even brighter future, and NoMad Detroit will embody that spirit. We’re proud to be part of the revitalization of Michigan Central Station, and we’re looking forward to introducing travelers to our unique blend of luxury and creative place-making in this iconic location.”

NoMad Detroit will offer a range of luxury amenities, including a full-service restaurant, a signature bar, and a wellness center. The hotel will also feature spaces for meetings, events, and gatherings, making it an ideal destination for both business and leisure travelers.

Ford Motor Company’s executive chair, Bill Ford, expressed excitement about the collaboration: “Together with NoMad and Hilton, we’re continuing our vision to transform Michigan Central Station into a global innovation hub. NoMad Detroit will bring world-class hospitality to this historic site and provide a unique and vibrant destination for both locals and visitors alike.”

This partnership builds on Hilton’s ongoing commitment to expanding its luxury portfolio. The opening of NoMad Detroit follows the brand’s expansion in key cities around the world, including upcoming properties in New York, London, and Singapore. This project is also part of Hilton’s strategic aim to develop innovative hotel experiences that align with global trends in design, technology, and sustainability.
