WESTIN BOOK CADILLAC HOTEL
This “grande dame” was the tallest hotel in the world when built in 1924 but was derelict until about three years ago. A $213-million renovation brought it back to fabulous. And Michael Symons’s restaurant Roast is a spectacular destination on its own, with a passionate set of local regulars mixed with an international crowd. This hotel is Hollywood’s pied-a-terre in Detroit, so keep your celebrity-spotting eyes open. Rates from $175 weekends, $237 weekdays. 1114 Washington Blvd.; 313-442-1600; www.bookcadillacwestin.com
