ACCOMMODATIONS:
The
Westin Book Cadillac Detroit
Located at the corner of State Street and Detroit's
Washington Boulevard, once dubbed the Fifth Avenue
of the Midwest, the hotel first opened in 1924 as
the tallest hotel in the world with 33 floors and
1,136 guestrooms. Presidents, entertainers, major
sports celebrities like Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth,
and many other notables were guests of Book
Cadillac.
Designed in the Italian Renaissance style by
architect Louis Kamper, the 'Book" was the top hotel
in Detroit for several years hosting conventions,
weddings, and many high society social events. The
hotel played a role in the 1948 film State of the
Union starring Spencer Tracey, Kathryn Hepburn and
Angela Lansbury - it was room "2419" where
Presidential hopeful, Grant Matthews (Tracy),
readied for his speech to Detroit's business
leaders. A nighttime image of the hotel's marquee is
seen in the movie.
In
2006, following more than two years of planning, The
Ferchill Group of Cleveland, Ohio, worked with
Detroit's economic leadership to devise a financial
package to launch the redevelopment plan. A
management contract was signed with Starwood Hotels
& Resorts to operate the Westin Book Cadillac
Detroit, and construction began in 2007.
