NoMad Detroit, Hilton’s first luxury lifestyle hotel in the United States, is set to open in 2027 as part of Ford Motor Company’s plan to transform Motor City’s former train depot into a tech and culture hub.

NoMad Detroit closely follows the announcement of the brand’s Asia debut in Singapore, after Sydell Group and Hilton partnered together last year in a joint venture to grow the NoMad brand.

“NoMad has built a reputation for developing hotels that take inspiration from the history, art, design and culture that make a place unique, and NoMad Detroit is poised to be no exception,” said Andrew Zobler, CEO and founder of the brand. “A city steeped in history with an incredibly bright future, NoMad Detroit is part of an ambitious project that is transforming The Station at Michigan Central into a center for commerce, innovation, community and culture. As we continue the international expansion of NoMad from the iconic London location, with plans to launch in Detroit and Singapore and more in the works, we look forward to giving travelers a chance to experience our unparalleled luxury in the most vibrant destinations.”

Located in the Corktown neighborhood, NoMad Detroit will anchor the west side of The Station and the top five floors of the building’s tower. Nearly 180 guestrooms, including 30 suites, are slated for the upper floors, marking the first time in the building’s history that floors 14-18 will be occupied. Guests will also enjoy luxury wellness facilities and additional amenities.

Originally opened in 1913, The Station was designed by architects Warren & Wetmore and Reed & Stem, the same team behind New York’s famed Grand Central. NoMad will reimagine The Station’s historic restaurant and carriage house with its signature restaurant and bar concepts. The interior design will celebrate the work of Detroit artists and makers throughout public and guest spaces, continuing NoMad’s tradition of working with local collaborators to make its hotels at once global and very rooted locally.

The announcement of NoMad Detroit comes nearly one year after Michigan Central and Ford celebrated The Station’s reopening last June.  As the centerpiece of Michigan Central’s 30-acre district, The Station is helping grow Detroit’s technology ecosystem by accommodating larger tenants and established companies, attracting technology talent, drawing in diverse businesses and integrating youth training. Since launching in April 2023, Michigan Central has grown into a diverse ecosystem with nearly 240 companies.

Michigan Central and Ford opened The Station in June 2024, after a six-year restoration, as the centerpiece of the 30-acre district. Today, The Station has become home to multinational corporations and small businesses as tenants and has welcomed nearly 300,000 visitors to experience unique cultural programming and historical tours.
