Excitement is buzzing in the Bonstelle neighborhood of Detroit with the grand opening of the AC Hotel Detroit. Nestled in a historic area, this stunning hotel stands 10 stories tall and boasts 154 spacious rooms. As the first AC Hotel in southeast Michigan and the third across the entire state, it’s already making waves in the hospitality scene!

A Collaborative Effort!

This impressive development is a joint venture between the Peachtree Group and the Roxbury Group. It’s worth noting that this hotel marks Roxbury’s third hospitality project in the vibrant city of Detroit. With a remarkable vision in mind, the developers are promising a unique blend of modern amenities with clues from the neighborhood’s storied past. The project celebrates its partnership with several financial backers like Stonehill, Flagstar Bank, Bank of Ann Arbor, and Invest Detroit.

Restoring a Theatrical Gem!

One of the standout features of this project is the restoration of the historic Bonstelle Playhouse.
