Hilton's NoMad Hotels luxury lifestyle brand to debut in Detroit
NoMad Hotels, part of global hospitality company Hilton, is set to introduce a new hotel in Detroit, Michigan, US, marking a development in the city's ongoing revitalisation efforts. The NoMad property will be situated within The Station at Michigan Central, a 30-acre technology and cultural hub, aiming to breathe new life into the historic, once-abandoned passenger rail station. Michigan Central CEO Josh Sirefman said: 'NoMad's track record of thoughtfully integrating into culturally significant places and for creating spaces that celebrate local character made them a natural fit. 'This partnership is a continuation of our work of turning The Station at Michigan Central into a global destination that serves residents and attracts visitors as well as inspiring entrepreneurs, industry, and creatives.' Following an agreement signed with Ford Motor Company, the hotel is set to open in 2027. The NoMad property in Detroit will feature around 180 guest rooms, including 30 suites, and will occupy the top five floors of The Station's tower. This will be the first time in the building's history that floors 14-18 will be used. The hotel is expected to offer wellness facilities and other amenities. Inaugurated in 1913 and designed by the architects behind New York's Grand Central, The Station is poised to anchor the hotel's design, which will be influenced by a collaboration with local artists and makers. NoMad's signature restaurant and bar concepts will reimagine The Station's historic restaurant and carriage house. The announcement of NoMad Detroit comes after Michigan Central and Ford opened The Station in June 2024. The project now moves into its next phase, establishing The Station as a global destination. The site has already attracted multinational corporations and small businesses. Hilton Luxury and Mixed-used Development vice president Kara Randall said: 'This project is one of many new locations for Hilton's luxury brands, following announcements in Turks & Caicos, Egypt, Singapore and India. 'With our existing NoMad footprint in London and NoMad Singapore in the pipeline in Asia, we chose to announce our next NoMad project with Ford, who, like Hilton, represents iconic American companies at this quintessential crossroads for US travel in the historic renovation of Michigan Central Station.' This latest venture is a key addition to Hilton's luxury portfolio, which now includes more than 500 properties globally. Hilton's recent luxury openings span across the globe, from Costa Rica to Paris, and the company has around 100 luxury hotels in development. Earlier in 2025, Hilton opened the Sanctity Hotel, a Tapestry Collection property, further expanding its presence in the US hospitality market in Rancho Cucamonga, California.

Hotel operator NoMad chosen for Ford's Michigan Central Station in Detroit
Ford Motor Co. has found a luxury hotel operator to fill the top floors of its newly redone Michigan Central Station in Detroit. NoMad Hotels, an upscale boutique brand affiliated with Hilton and featuring a bourgeois-bohemian flair, plans to open an approximately 180-room hotel inside the former train depot in the first half of 2027. The rooms, including 30 suites, will be located on floors 14 through 18 of the building's tower, just off Michigan Avenue. The hotel also will feature a restaurant as well as bar and lounge area on the ground floor, plus a "wellness" space for guests on the third floor. The restaurant will be located on the west side of the building, within the station's to-be-rehabbed "carriage house." The carriage house's exterior clock face, now on display inside the station, is to be restored back to its original place. (The clock was stolen off the building years ago by someone who sought to preserve it from destruction, and anonymously returned shortly after Ford Motor Co. bought the whole property in 2018.) Now known as The Station at Michigan Central, the once-abandoned train depot dates to 1913 and, following its acquisition by Ford and the automaker's dramatic multiyear restoration project, reopened to the public in June 2024 as commercial, office and events space. Ford officials have for years indicated that some type of hotel would eventually be coming to The Station, although details were scarce. The official announcement for NoMad Detroit Michigan Central finally came on Monday, June 2. More: These 10 big and empty downtown Detroit buildings still need to be filled The hotel will be the first-ever occupant for the station's top five floors, officials said, as those floors were originally intended as office space for railroad-related businesses, but were never actually used or even built out. The first NoMad Hotel opened in 2012 in New York City and the brand is described on its website as a "vision of where life and art intersect." There are currently just a handful of NoMad Hotels in the world, including in New York, Las Vegas and London, although only the London location is currently affiliated with Hilton. Last year, Hilton reportedly acquired a controlling stake in New York-based developer Sydell Group to expand the NoMad brand globally. Another new NoMad Hotel is to open in Singapore in 2027. 'A year after we opened Michigan Central Station to the world, our vision to create a global innovation hub and a destination symbolizing Detroit's future is well underway,' Bill Ford, executive chair of Ford Motor Co., said in a statement. 'Together with NoMad and Hilton, we are now announcing the next phase of our ambitious vision offering visitors and the community a unique hotel destination and memorable food and beverage experiences in this iconic landmark," he continued. "The new NoMad Detroit hotel will not just be a place to stay, but an energetic and exciting gathering place for years to come.' In a recent interview, Josh Sirefman, CEO of Michigan Central, said they fielded numerous prospects for the station's hotel operator before deciding on NoMad. 'The interest internationally was amazing," he said. "We had 16 finalist proposals that we worked through and ultimately were very happy to choose the Sydell Group and Hilton together, and the NoMad brand." Sirefman said they appreciate NoMad's creative take on the "luxury lifestyle," with its emphasis on art, culture, community and novel experiences, as well as the brand's past experience operating in unique old buildings, such as how NoMad London is within a former courthouse and police station. 'So there's that ability and understanding of what it means to both honor the history and work with the history, but also to be very forward-looking," he said. Sirefman said it is too early to know potential room rates for NoMad Detroit or how many employees will be needed between the hotel and food and beverage spaces, although that number is likely in the hundreds. "NoMad has built a reputation for developing hotels that take inspiration from the history, art, design and culture that make a place unique," Sydell Group founder and CEO Andrew Zobler said in a statement, "and NoMad Detroit is poised to be no exception." Detroit has been experiencing a mini-boom in recent years of new upscale hotels. Some of the latest openings include the 154-room AC Hotel Detroit at the Bonstelle in Midtown, the nearby 227-room Godfrey Hotel Detroit that is also in Corktown, and the 158-room Cambria Hotel on Lafayette in downtown. Looking ahead, a new 600-room JW Marriott is to open in 2027 next to the Huntington Place convention center and an Edition Hotel is to open in the Hudson's site skyscraper that same year.

Hilton and Ford partner to transform Michigan Central Station into the NoMad Detroit
Hilton has unveiled plans to open a NoMad hotel inside Detroit's Michigan Central Station. The luxury hotel will be developed through a partnership with Ford Motor Company, which acquired Michigan Central Station in 2018. The hotel will be part of The Station at Michigan Central, a former passenger rail terminal that's being redeveloped into a district that will have retail, public parks, outdoor plazas and 1.2 million square feet of commercial space across multiple restored historic buildings. According to Hilton, the project will involve a "careful renovation" of the station. Detroit's passenger rail service ended in 1988. The largely vacant building fell into disrepair before being acquired by Ford. Hilton acquired NoMad last year and plans to rapidly grow the NoMad brand. In addition to the NoMad Detroit, Hilton said it has 15-plus deals in various stages of development globally. Those plans include the 173-room NoMad Singapore, which is expected to open in 2027. The new NoMad properties will join the flag's one hotel, the NoMad London, which opened in 2021. Hilton has accelerated the addition luxury and lifestyle hotels. The company expects to add three luxury and lifestyle hotels per week through 2025; more than 150 openings are planned worldwide this year. Hilton has approximately 1,000 luxury and lifestyle hotels globally across several brands, including Curio Collection, Tapestry Collection, Waldorf Astoria, LXR, Conrad, Graduate, Canopy, Signia, Motto and Tempo.
