Shinola Hotel is located in Detroit, Michigan and it is designed by local brands Shinola and Bedrock. The space features 129 rooms and has four food and beverage concepts that are led by award-winning chef Andrew Carmellini.
The overall design is captivating, from the ceramic wall tiles and millwork that is made by local merchants along with mini bars that are stocked with local snacks. The hotel is made to suit both tourists of the city and residents from Detroit as well. The main living room is designed to evoke an inviting feeling that is perfect for snacking, having drinks, lunch, and more. The rooms and suites are decorated with mid-century modern furniture and have hardwood floors.
