NoMad, by Hilton, has announced its debut in Michigan following an agreement with Ford Motor Company to open a nearly 180-guest-room hotel in Detroit. The hotel will be housed within The Station at Michigan Central, a 30-acre tech and cultural hub.
Founded in 2011 and led by lifestyle hospitality veteran Andrew Zobler, NoMad has built a strong reputation for creative placemaking—most notably helping to revitalize the New York neighborhood that now shares its name.
From iconic architecture to guest-centric design
Set to open in 2027, NoMad Detroit will occupy the top five floors of the Station’s tower, marking the first use of these historic levels since the building’s opening in 1913. The hotel will feature nearly 180 guest rooms, including 30 suites, and feature wellness spaces, a cocktail bar, and signature dining venues located in the restored restaurant and carriage house. Luxury spa amenities will also be included.
Design will draw from both NoMad’s globally recognized aesthetic and Detroit’s UNESCO City of Design designation, incorporating contributions from local artists and makers throughout guest and public areas.
A strategic addition to Hilton’s global luxury growth
This signing strengthens Hilton’s global luxury portfolio, now totaling over 500 properties, with nearly 100 more in development. Recent luxury openings include Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica Punta Cacique, Waldorf Astoria Osaka, Sax Paris, LXR Hotels & Resorts, and Signia by Hilton Amman.
Bill Ford, Executive Chair, Ford Motor Company, said, “Together with NoMad and Hilton, we are now announcing the next phase of our ambitious vision offering visitors and the community a unique hotel destination and memorable food and beverage experiences in this iconic landmark. The new NoMad Detroit hotel will not just be a place to stay, but an energetic and exciting gathering place for years to come.”
