Holiday wishes for the west side of downtown Detroit have been answered: the Westin Book Cadillac came on line just a couple of months ago and the Fort Shelby Doubletree Suites and BearClaw Coffee Shop opened their doors on Monday. The accompanying Finn & Porter steakhouse and sushi bar and Round Bar will follow later this week.
The $82 million restoration of the two buildings that comprise the property began in April 2007. A full-service conference center and two ballrooms complete the hotel's offerings, while the taller of the two structures will house 56 luxury apartments.
Fort Shelby employs 135, many of whom were hired through Michigan Works!
