Great update on the hotels under construction in Downtown and Midtown Detroit in the Free Press. Unfortunately, some hotel proposals have been scrapped.
Detroit's boutique hotel boom crawling back after COVID-19 disruptions

Weekly occupancy rates for greater downtown Detroit hotels was generally between 40% and 60% in June and July, reaching nearly 73% in the final week of July, according to the convention and visitors bureau. The average daily rate that final week was $196.


Still on Molinari's wish list to see built is a large high-occupancy hotel next to downtown's Huntington Place convention center, formerly known as the TCF Center and Cobo Hall. A creditor in Detroit's 2013-14 bankruptcy once considered such a hotel for the former Joe Louis Arena site. However, the development firm that now owns the property, Detroit-based Sterling Group, is instead building a 500-unit housing development. Yet there is still some land available to possibly squeeze in a future hotel.


“It is critical that we add a large convention center hotel, upscale, to the west side of [[Huntington Place),” Molinari said. “Until we do that, we’re not going to be able to compete appropriately and we’re at a big disadvantage.”
