A gem in the Hilton Curio Collection, the Godfrey Detroit hotel is embedded in Michigan—where the hip energy of Detroit merges with the historic charm of Corktown, the city's oldest neighborhood. In 2023, The Gettys Group elevated this boutique hotel, upgrading everything from the 227 guestrooms to the top-tier restaurant, lobby bar, and the I|O Godfrey Rooftop Lounge with its retractable glass ceiling for an outstanding indoor/outdoor experience.
Design features like the Avant wallcoverings that zigzag across guestroom walls (matching Detroit's dynamic rhythm) and the earthy-glam Terrazzo Tap detailing by the rooftop bar, to the warm-toned Rustic or sleek-gridded Namesake furniture in communal spaces, all come together to make this boutique hotel feel eclectically exclusive.
By blending neutral shades with striking patterns, sumptuous textures, and elegant, moody undertones, The Gettys Group has instilled Godfrey Detroit with key design themes:
Detroit's essence: black, white, & wood tones tie to the city's manufacturing history.
Urban-luxe lounge: the panoramic I|O Rooftop blends cool vibes with cozy indoor-outdoor living.
Enriched touches: distinct textiles & wallcoverings infuse spaces with industrial elegance.
Vibrant spots: energetic rooftop and dining areas are buzzing with character and charm.
What Makes This Project Iconic?
For Michigan residents and tourists alike, Godfrey Detroit's makeover has redefined the hotel as a premier stay in the heart of historic Detroit. Inside and out, the hotel offers a splendid backdrop for romantic weekends to social hours with friends or family. Courtesy of Momentum's eclectic-cool textile and wallcovering selections, these elements eloquently capture the industrial mood of the neighborhood with the lively spirit of Michigan Avenue.
