Element Detroit at the Metropolitan

If you can get in, this hotel checks every single box. Location is perfect. The vibe is elegant old school Detroit and the service is warm and friendly. Thanks to Ricardo for a quick and welcoming check in. You are an excellent ambassador for the hotel and th city.

Great location within walking distance to a lot of what downtown Detroit has to offer. Beautiful hotel with amazingly helpful staff. Breakfast was including which was very fresh and even had made to order omelets. The valet staff were efficient and pleasant. Part of our trip included walking to the Lions stadium which was a very quick and safe 3 to 4 block walk. I would absolutely recommend staying at this hotel. Seems to be mostly adults staying here but would still definitely consider this location family friendly for children; there is even a small playground right across the street for the little ones.

I had a great stay at the Element Hotel in Detroit. The room had a beautiful view with lots of windows, which made it feel bright and open. They were also kind enough to let us check in early, which was really appreciated after traveling. The location is excellent—there are plenty of things to do within walking distance, which makes it perfect for visitors who want to explore the city without needing to drive everywhere. The only small thing I wish was different is that breakfast lasted a little longer—11:00 would be nice. Other than that, it was a wonderful stay and I would definitely recommend it.

Great location in downtown Detroit, close to several solid restaurants and stadiums. Valet cost has gone up but their turn around time has improved in recent months. Free breakfast is limited and decent, though for a coffee snob like me you're better off venturing out to a nearby shop. Rooftop bar has great views and pricey drinks, and a bit of an attitude so reservations are recommended if you want to be outside...but walk ups to sit at the bar or small table are usually an option during the week.

Hello. Our experience at the Hotel was Excellent! We stayed in Room 410 on 10/05/25 10/06/25. We were actually transferred from the Greektown Casino Hotel to the Element because of an overbooking. When we arrived were pleasantly surprised with the whole facility from the valet parking, staffs top notch service to the beautifully restored architecture. We would love to stay again soon. When we departed from the Hotel, I accidently left a hearing Aid Charging case on the night table. The case is very valuable and if possible I would like to get it back. We could even pick it up. I tried reaching the hotel through its phone service and reservation network, left a message with no return call. I would love to hear back from someone that could check lost and found and confirm with us if its there possibly. It would complete an almost perfect stay with a simple yes or no. Thank you

Ricardo was a class act with exceptional customer service and professionalism . I have been a manager for Marriott Hotels for many years and want to express my gratitude for this experience. I came in for my wife’s birthday and we were impressed from start to finish . The hotel has beautiful architecture and elegance. We felt like family . Ricardo answered my questions from before the visit to the day of. We will definitely be back . Thanks again!!! A++++

Nice hotel, good breakfast, good location. Just as a note, since I couldn't find the answer before hand, you pretty much have to valet, there a a couple small surface lots around, but not sure the cost makes sense. Most things are walkable so not a bid deal for me. The rooftop restaurant is nice for drinks and some light food. Great vibes and views.

I had such a great experience at this hotel! Coincidentally, I had gone to dinner a few nights earlier right next door at Wright & Company, so when I needed a place to stay while visiting town with my son, my godkids, and family friends, this hotel was perfect. I loved that the room had two queen beds and a pull-out couch — it easily accommodated all of us. The free breakfast was a huge plus, and being right next to Wright & Company made it so convenient to grab a quick to-go meal. The location couldn’t have been better. We were right off the QLine and took it straight to the Michigan Science Center. The valet staff and front desk were both super nice, and the entire hotel was spotless. It felt so good to be back in Detroit — I left in the 90s, and every time I return, I’m amazed at how much the city has grown and improved. This stay was truly excellent. The area felt safe, the location was perfect, there were plenty of great restaurant options nearby, and access to public transportation was easy. With the YMCA right across the street, everything you need is within reach. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Detroit!
