The Henry, Autograph Collection

My work team stayed at the Henry for a few weeks for a project in Detroit and was certainly one of the nicer hotels we’ve stayed at. Beautiful décor and very clean; our rooms were spacious and the service was great. They had a concierge lounge open for platinum members, so my team and I would re-​group after the day with cocktails and free appetizers /​desserts. The surrounding areas of the hotel weren’t the best, but it’s not like we were walking around at night. All in all, very comfortable stay and we will definitely be returning again in the future —
Best,

I’m back and how much I love this hotel. I found long hair on the shower wall, no in the shower, literally on the shower wall. I wouldn’t expect this from a hotel where I spend my hard earned at. (Over $ 200 a night.)

Great hotel with impressive art. Very nicely appointed and with many nice touches. A step above the Ritz Carlton level consistent with the Autograph Collection feel. Definitely worth staying in Dearborn rather than downtown Detroit. Would definitely recommend to friends.

The art in the lobby is a major plus! Reasonably close to the airport, free parking, easy to get in and out of… would stay again.

This was my first visit back here since it changed names, from the Ritz Carlton. I still love this property! Rooms are very nice, staff is incredible. I went to celebrate an anniversary with my husband and we had dinner there as well. It is a great get away for locals who want to spend a nice evening at a nice hotel. However, I am sad the surrounding area isn’t what it once was. I am not sure there is much to offer outside of the hotel itself.

Great hotel, staff was incredible, parking was a little bit tough as space is limited for self parking. They do offer valet service, but didn’t catch the price.
Beautiful art gallery inside with many different types of art. Many are for sale too.
Concierge lounge was nice and attendant was very pleasant. Seemed fairly busy most of the times I visited. Loved the snacks available, nice to take back to your room.
Located right off the highway, but not many restaurants nearby. They do have a restaurant on site, but didn’t try it. Did have room service one night and pizza was good and hot.
Close to some of the attractions, but unfortunately I was here for business. I hope to stay here again in the future.

Super swanky hotel. I mean, really swanky. High ceilings, crown molding, sparkling chandeliers and wall art renders this spot a luxurious feel for an affordable price. Stay here if you come to Detroit. You’ll be 20 – 30 minutes to anywhere.
Rooms are comfortable and the linens are fantastic. Fluffy! Makes you want to just plop on the bed and take a nap. Well, we didn’t eat at the restaurant so I can’t comment on the food here. But it did seem pricey like your typical marked-​up-​for-​the service hotel. I do have to say, though, I really enjoyed the art on the walls. It is so full of color and texture. Just a really nice touch.
2 out of 3 computers weren’t working in the business center. Bummer. (my station felt like it was operating on internet speed from 1998). And I only wish there was an outdoor courtyard or dining area. This would have been such a great bonus on our recent trip during the 4^th of July. Would have been perfect for watching fireworks.
Instead, we had some really great service on July 4^th. The bartender opened our bottle of wine when we forgot our bottle opener. And the front desk agent gave us access to the 10^th floor exclusive lounge where we watched fireworks late at night — complete with a panoramic view of the Detroit skyline and ambassador bridge.
I’m really impressed with the service and the luxurious vibe here. Just get that internet crankin’ up and point me to the outdoor patio area, okay?

Ok so this hotel is amazing. I love the art I love the executive lounge and the rooms are large and have all amenities.

A little overrated. Bar is always very loud. Rooms are normal. Breakfast is expensive.

Hotel pretends to be more than it is. Overrated art adorns the lobbies (although there are a few paintings by real masters). Staff is attentive. Rooms are adequate but not luxurious. Wifi works as it should. Bed comfortable. Bedrooms not well appointed, but large. Conference rooms well below average. Food is very good but overpriced. Overall some pluses and some negatives. But compared to the hype not so great.

I finally found a place I can call home when I’m visiting Detriot!
First, it’s close enough to the airport. I love the actual hotel location as there is plenty to do right around it with decent food and shopping options.
Second, it’s an old Ritz, and a new autograph. It’s just has a classy feel with excellent service.
The rooms are very comfortable with a decent sized bathroom. The bed was excellent with different options of pillows!
They have 24 hour room service which is so nice when you get in late.
I love the art… It’s everywhere and they give art tours on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
The gym is pretty big and has plenty of equipment which is always a plus!
There is self park and valet options.
The bar and restaurant Tria is a great option!
By far the best place I have stayed while working in Detroit!

Stayed at The Henry last week for the first time in my many trips to Dearborn. This was a quick utility stop when my business trip got extended by a day; I checked out at 5AM after a one night stay. Very friendly front desk staff. Rooms are bigger than usual for a Marriott property. Comfortable beds. Artwork everywhere. The Tria restaurant is very good if pricey.
Nicely appointed bathroom with quality products.
This property has something of a reputation for not posting your Marriott Rewards points — I’ve seen reports that you actually have to request posting of points to your account. I hope that’s wrong, but 8 days after my stay and my points/​stay haven’t posted.
I prefer the Dearborn Inn — which is one of my favorite hotels and favorite Marriott properties anywhere, but if they’re full, as seems to often be the case, this will likely be my go-​to Dearborn hotel.

My husband and I had our wedding reception here (15 years ago) when it was still a Ritz-​Carlton, so when we were invited to an event here, we of course agreed!
The interior has been completely renovated and is more upscale modern than before, as it is now owned by Marriott.
The event was a charity benefit with a «strolling dinner». This just translates to «schlep all over the room to stand in line at different buffets». The food was very good, especially for buffet, but logistically was a nightmare — lines were long, each buffet station had different items, so if you wanted to try everything, you were going to be there a while. There was not a lot of opportunity to visit with your table since everyone was at different stations and coming back and eating at different times — my husband and I stayed together in the lines just so that we would not be sitting at the table eating alone while everyone else was in a line somewhere.

The Henry is wonderful. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful; during our stay, we noted that we didn’t encounter a single staff-​member that didn’t smile at us. The artwork is also such a beautiful feature. All the amenities that The Henry offers are just notably all-​around great.
Our room was on the 8^th floor, we weren’t too excited to be able to look into the offices directly across the way. That said, it didn’t interfere with our overall experience — the hotel was BEAUTIFUL, we loved our room. It was spacious and comfortable. We also really enjoyed their restaurant, Tria. We just had such a wondeful experience, this Marriott location has really earned their name. We cannot wait to return.

+ Very comfortable room, flawless internet, outstanding service, nice restaurant
— Self Parking Lot can be a long cold walk when it’s full
It’s now a year later and this hotel has improved on everything I previously mentioned in my last review. I stayed here for the Detroit auto show this past weekend and it could not have been better. The room had a nice view of the city, it was quiet, had a mini fridge, thick bed comforters, internet download speeds that were super fast for a hotel (7+ Mbps), a heating system working perfectly, and the TRIA restaurant that was wonderful for breakfast. They offer a nice breakfast buffet (eggs, bacon, sausage, french toast, various fruits, high quality breads, and a station for preparing you a custom omelette). Along with the hallways of the hotel, the inside of the restaurant has various artwork throughout and is connected to a waiting room with a classic piano. A very nice touch.
The only downside of the hotel relates to the location of the self parking lot. It’s a bit of a walk from the lot to the front entrance at peak periods, and feels even longer when it’s super cold out. But, there is a valet service which solves that issue if you really don’t want to walk. Other than that, I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the Detroit /​Dearborn area. Lots of shopping and restaurants nearby, and it being right near the highway, makes it especially convenient. And I have to say, all the staff at the hotel, from the front desk (hats off to Domingo!) to all the restaurant servers, were just outstanding. They were always smiling, chatting with you, promptly providing you with what you needed, making you feel right at home. It’s rare to find a hotel which exceeds in so many areas and I certainly look forward to my next stay at this 5 star facility!

What an absolutley beautiful hotel, but beauty isn’t only skin deep.
The beauty of the hotel is it’s décor and rooms. My daughter and some of her wedding party stayed here the night before her big day and their wedding night. The location was close to the church. The room they stayed in was huge with a separate living/​meeting with a half bath area and separate bedroom with it’s own bathroom. The bedroom area was spaceous and the bathroom huge. Very clean roomsand well stocked with amenities!
There are two things that make wedding pictures sing out beauty and quality. The first is the photographer (sorry Henry) and the second is the location/​background (Yeah, Henry). The background for photographs are outstanding whether in the room, lobby, hallway, outside or just about anywhere as eveidenced by other reviewers. Instead of a lot more pictures at the church the party decided to go back here for additional pictures. They came out great!
Now for the «not skin only deep» part. The staff was outsatnding opening with the concierge. He was quite helpful in manyways. The reception desk staff, outstanding. Everywhere we went the staff all had smiles and a friendly welcome.
One more daughter, one more wedding. I think I’ll start my wedding affairs here first.
Anybody coming in to town whether friends or business I will recommend this hotel. They won’t be dissapointed.

When I pulled up to a handsome man in a top hat I knew this was going to be a spectacular experience. I stayed here years ago when it was the Ritz Carlton and was sad to see it was now The Henry. Fortunately, the Henry left a lasting impression during my visit. This is my kind of hotel. It’s posh and luxurious. If you loved the Henry when it was the Ritz, you will love this hotel just the same.
Loved my bed, it was extremely comfortable. My view, as always, was wonderful. Nice contemporary décor and updated amenities. The workout facility is a joke. I believe there were two, maybe three treadmills and one eliptical machine. The univeral weight system seemed only slightly big enough to accomodate 1 ½ people. They really need to consider renovating the workout facility. Many travelers take great pride in continuing their workout while away from home. When there are so many hotels to choose from, many travelers, myself included, will often opt for the hotel with the better workout facility. Fortunately, I am a Marriott snob and the Henry Autograph Collection is supreme. So, I opted to work with the minimal workout offerings.
The best part about my stay was the magnificent Concierge Lounge located on the 10^th floor. Unlike most Marriott Concierge Lounges, the Henry offered what seemed to be the entire floor dedicated for Concierge service. You literally walk off of the elevator directly into the Concierge Lounge. There are always wonderful offerings throughout the day. Absolutely splended. The Renaissance Downtown Marriott should definitely take note. Their Concierge Lounge lacked in so many ways.
I will definitely return.

This is one of the best business destination hotels I’ve ever stayed at. I’ve stayed at The Henry Hotel over a dozen times in the past year and half for business. It’s absolutely beautiful from the lobby to the bedrooms; the photos don’t do it justice. The staff and service is impeccable. Everyone is friendly, professional and on their game. They don’t have high turnover, so I got to know several of the staff through my stays. The food is delicious; definitely not cheap price-​wise but not the absolute most expensive either. The chef knows how to create delicious and engaging meals that satisfy. I was forced to stay at another hotel nearby when The Henry was booked and the differences were alarming. It showed me that The Henry is well-​priced (food was worse and more expensive at the other hotel), clean (the other hotel was dirty and items in the room were broken), and has amazing staff and customer service (the other hotel staff were rude and there was no customer service present). Do yourself a favor and unwind from the day’s work here. You won’t be sorry.
