The Siren Hotel Is Going to Be Huge for Detroit's Hospitality Scene

"When working on the guest rooms, we were looking to capture a calming simplicity, something that spoke to a haven from the noise of the city still on the rise from its ashes," says Cooper. Period details like a pink vinyl ice bucket, rotary-dial phone, and ceramic tray holding snacks (not within a fridge or basket) complete the look.

"The [signature] blankets were made by Maine Heritage Weavers with a design created for the hotel by two Cranbrook students," says Cooper. They're sold in the hotel's shop.

"The idea was to create captivating bathrooms as jewel boxes, as they are so small, in a material that was inherent to the original space," says Cooper. "We modernized it, of course, with the color choices."

"The stairwells have their original terrazzo flooring, which inspired our new bathrooms," says Cooper. The palette inspiration was derived from The Guardian Building in downtown Detroit, which has Pewabic tiles on the facade and interior lobbies. Those tiles are still made in Detroit today.

In the hotel's penthouse suite, midnight-blue plush armchairs and a sofa are arranged on a Persian area rug with nods to wildlife (the wall murals) and again, the '20s (with a fringed lampshade).

Awash in pink hues, the hotel's cocktail lounge (Candy Bar) was inspired by Motown, French moderne, and the disco era.

A busy floor pattern, an ornate curtain pulled back in the doorway, and clamshell-back chairs are in the hotel's Candy Bar, a cocktail lounge.

Populace Coffee debuted in Bay City, Michigan, and now has 40 cafes around the country, including one in the hotel's lobby.

With James Beard Award-nominated chef Garrett Lipar at the helm, a Great Lakes-inspired food menu is served in this minimalist-design eatery with pendant lighting, the ceiling painted a warm yellow shade, and wide-plank wood flooring.
