Hotel St. Regis Detroit hosts meetings, banquets and weddings in a Grand Ballroom of more than 5,000 square feet for up to 350 guests, with 124 rooms and suites in the same building. The hotel stands on West Grand Boulevard in the New Center district of Detroit, Michigan.
Seminars and company events
The ballroom can be used as one room for a conference, an awards night or a company dinner, or divided into three separate meeting rooms for smaller groups and breakout sessions. Equipment includes an upgraded LCD projector, speakers and Bluetooth audio. The events team prepares menus for corporate groups, and the bedrooms upstairs make the hotel practical for multi-day training, sales meetings and offsites where attendees travel in from out of town.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel hosts weddings from about 10 guests up to 300. The ballroom was renovated with new carpets and light fixtures, and the event team coordinates catering, bar service, decor and linens. Packages for weekend stays and seasonal events can be added for the couple and their guests.
Rooms and capacities
The Grand Ballroom is the hotel's single event room, at a little over 5,000 square feet. The event page gives a maximum of 350 attendees, while the inquiry form mentions events of up to 300, so organizers should confirm the figure for their layout. Partitions divide the room into three meeting rooms, which allows a plenary session and breakouts on the same floor.
Accommodation
The hotel has 124 rooms and suites on six floors, refreshed during a remastering project completed in 2020. Room blocks for a conference or a wedding can be arranged with the hotel.
Catering
Food and drink come from the hotel. The events team builds menus for corporate meetings and milestone celebrations, and the bar team covers receptions. The BLVD Lounge, with its circular bar, and the Lobby Bar give groups a place to meet before or after an event.
History and setting
The hotel opened in 1966 and was billed at the time as the most luxurious and expensive hotel in the United States; locals called it the Gem of Detroit. It was among the first hotels to put 25-inch color televisions in guest rooms. Its limestone facade and porte-cochere received business leaders and well-known guests, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Inside, ebony oak paneling and imported French moldings remain. The 2020 renovation added references to the city's history and to the arts and museums nearby.
Getting there
The address is 3071 West Grand Boulevard, in New Center, north of Midtown and downtown Detroit. The Amtrak station is in the same district, and Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport serves the city by car or shuttle.
