The Siren Hotel, nestled in the heart of downtown Detroit, offers a captivating blend of history, design, and modern comfort.
Housed in the iconic Wurlitzer building that was designed in 1926 by architect and Detroit native, Robert Finn, The Siren Hotel is a uniquely distinctive property featuring food & beverage spaces, retail shops, and 106 guest rooms. Commissioned by Rudolph Wurlitzer, known for trading musical instruments in Europe, the property has become synonymous with music and sound throughout the years.
Many of the building’s original elements have been preserved, such as the travertine flooring, the authentic terra-cotta signage, and the intricate plasterwork on the historic ceilings, which elegantly complement the display of Italian antiques from the 18th and 19th centuries in the lobby.
The Siren Hotel boasts a warm and pristine ambiance with a palette of soft whites, delicate pale pinks, deep oxblood, and sharp navy. It embraces an Art Deco style, with meticulous attention to detail evident from the lobby to the guest rooms. The hotel offers 106 unique rooms and suites, each featuring its own distinct character and designed to be allergy-free.
All rooms feature private bathrooms adorned with colourful terrazzo tiles and a vanity unit, a blend of vintage and custom-made furniture and lighting, flat-screen TVs, hand-loomed blankets, and custom-made Italian linens. Gourmet snacks and toiletries are made exclusively for The Siren.
