The Historic Dearborn Inn Gets a Fresh New Look!
Exciting news for history buffs and travelers alike! The Dearborn Inn, a stunning landmark originally built in 1931 by automotive pioneer Henry Ford, has officially reopened its doors after an impressive two-year makeover. Nestled on 23 acres of picturesque property, this beloved hotel has undergone a transformation that beautifully merges its rich history with modern luxury.
A Glimpse into the Past and Present
The renovation of the Dearborn Inn wasn’t just any old facelift; it was a heartfelt labor of love. With contributions from the talented Ford Motor Company, Ford Land Design Team, and the renowned firm AvroKO, among others, the inn’s restoration reflects a commitment to honoring its illustrious past while catering to today’s discerning guests. The historic hotel now proudly belongs to Marriott’s upscale Autograph Collection, a testament to its unique charm.
During the renovation, care was taken to preserve original design gems, such as the eye-catching checkerboard marble flooring and the elegant green marble fireplace. Guests can experience this blend of old and new in the inn’s 135 revamped rooms, now outfitted with cozy features like four-poster walnut beds and contemporary art to enhance comfort and style.
A Culinary Journey with a Nod to History
If you’re in the mood for a refreshing drink and a social experience, check out the newly introduced Four Vagabonds cocktail bar. This stylish spot draws inspiration from legendary road trips taken by Ford and his contemporaries, serving up small plates and craft cocktails that evoke tales of yesteryears.

These themed rooms promise a delightful and unique experience for those looking to immerse themselves in history while enjoying modern amenities.
Alongside lavish guest rooms complete with luxury features and spacious bathrooms adorned with beautiful Ford Pantone blue subway tiles, the inn ensures that guests feel pampered during their stay.
