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.

Luxury hotel company to locate on top floors of Michigan Central Station
A luxury hotel is moving into part of Michigan Central Station, planning 180 rooms and 30 suites for the top floors of the building's tower. This development will be the debut of NoMad Hotels in Michigan, via an agreement with Ford Motor Company that now owns the former passenger rail station. "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 Company, said in the press release. The NoMad announcement Monday follows the announcement of the hotel brand's Asia debut in Singapore, after Sydell Group and Hilton partnered last year in that joint venture. The NoMad brand was founded in 2011 and is led by CEO Andrew Zobler, an industry veteran in the lifestyle hospitality space. The Michigan Central location will be part of Hilton's international luxury portfolio, with wellness facilities and additional amenities amid an interior design that celebrates the work of Detroit artists and makers. "NoMad has built a reputation for developing hotels that take inspiration from the history, art, design and culture that make a place unique, and NoMad Detroit is poised to be no exception," Andrew Zobler, Founder & CEO, Sydell Group, said in the announcement. "A city steeped in history with an incredibly bright future, NoMad Detroit is part of an ambitious project that is transforming The Station at Michigan Central into a center for commerce, innovation, community and culture." The hotel space is expected to open in 2027. The development will mark the first time in the building's history that floors 14-18 will be occupied. Built in 1913, Michigan Central Station was intended as a replacement for the previous Detroit Union Depot. At its peak, the rail station saw more than 4,000 passengers a day. The station closed in 1988 because of changes in travel patterns. Ford reopened the building in June 2024 after a six-year restoration effort. There are now tours, a gift shop, and other visitor amenities with Michigan Central intended to become a cornerstone of development in the Corktown area. A mix of tenants are expected as development continues, and the first to move into the building included Ford Motor Company teams.
