About ROOST Detroit ROOST Detroit is a beautifully designed, apartment-style hotel located inside the iconic and fully restored Book Tower in the heart of downtown Detroit. Blending the comfort of a modern residence with the service and sophistication of a boutique hotel, ROOST offers guests a warm, lived-in experience rooted in craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and a deep sense of place.
Each apartment-style unit features full kitchens, custom furnishings, curated artwork, and residential-inspired details that make long-term stays feel effortless and short-term visits feel elevated.
