Shinola Hotel reveals January opening date
Shinola Hotel has revealed its opening date as January 2nd 2019. The result of a collaboration between two Detroit-based brands, luxury watchmaker Shinola and real estate firm Bedrock, Shinola Hotel is located in the heart of the city’s historic Woodward Avenue shopping district and is within walking distance of Ford Field, Comerica Park and Little Caesars Arena.
Comprising 129 guestrooms with over 50 room configurations, the property marries two restored historic buildings – the former T.B. Rayl Co. department store and a former Singer sewing machine store, which was once home to the Singer Sewing Machine company, as well as three brand new buildings. Operated by Mac&Lo, the development features design from Gachot Studios and Kraemer Design Group, and will be outfitted with Shinola products made exclusively for the hotel including the Runwell Desk Clock, a striped alpaca throw blanket and a signature candle.
F&B programming will be led by Chef Andrew Carmellini of NoHo Hospitality Group (Locanda Verde, The Dutch, Westlight) and will feature multiple venues including; San Morello, a Southern Italian restaurant serving authentic, wood-fired dishes, pizzas and house-made pastas using local, seasonal ingredients; Evening Bar, a classic American bar serving seasonally crafted cocktails and bar bites; The Brakeman, a beer hall featuring rotating drafts of craft beers from the Midwest; Penny Red’s, a fried chicken spot serving up buckets of fried chicken, honey-butter biscuits and local farmstand sides; the Living Room; in-room dining; and banquet/event spaces that include the Birdy Room – found on the second floor of the hotel’s annex.
Retail spaces will be occupied by Le Labo, Madewell, Good Neighbor, Drought, while other homegrown brands are to be unveiled at a later date.
