New [rehab] Royal Palm Hotel - Tapestry Collection Hotel by Hilton.
DetroitSoldier found this in the Freep the other day, and posted it onto the Grand Circus Park thread, but no one commented. It deserves a thread of its' own.

It appears that despite the COVID-19 pandemic, some new developments are still being developed in downtown Detroit.
This is going to be developed in the Park Avenue House hotel building [[now vacated of its' residents) at the NW corner of Park Ave. and Montcalm St., as a 172 room upscale Hilton hotel.
This building was owned by Sean Harrington's family [[he owns the Town Pump Tavern). I don't know him, but he's gotten some bad press lately.
The $50 million development is due for completion in 2022 as an upscale hotel. I've never been inside this building, but it appears that it will be nicely restored/remodeled.
One thing that is a plus for this future posh hotel is that just across the street is the [[Chuck Forbes owned) Colony Club Building. This building has some spectacular banqueting space on the 3rd and 4th floor. On the two story 3rd floor is a magnificent Louis XV Grand Ballroom [[with a 3rd floor mezzanine looking down onto the ballroom). On the 4th floor right above it are 2 spectacular smaller Petit Ballrooms. It would be awesome for the hotel and Colony Club to have a joint partnership to share these magnificent spaces, as well as the other wonderful interiors.
Here are some great photos of the Colony Club... which could be much more than just a wedding venue, if shared with the hotel...
