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
