Step Back in Time with a Modern Twist: The Dearborn Inn Shines Bright Again
After two long years of extensive renovations, the stunning Dearborn Inn has officially reopened its doors, inviting guests to experience a delightful blend of history and contemporary comforts. Originally constructed by the innovative Henry Ford in 1931, the inn holds a special place in the heart of many, having been added to the National Register of Historic Places back in 1982. Its latest facelift promises to marry historical elegance with modern luxury seamlessly.
A Carefully Crafted Transformation
The renovation wasn’t an easy task, but it was all about collaboration. The Ford Motor Company, along with their dedicated design team, joined forces with talented folks at design firms such as AvroKO, and local architecture experts Kraemer Design Group and Quinn Evans Architects. Together, they embarked on a quest to breathe new life into the inn, which now showcases 135 beautifully redesigned hotel rooms nestled across an expansive 23-acre property.
Throughout the renovation, numerous original design elements were carefully preserved, showcasing the stunning checkerboard marble flooring and elegant green marble fireplace. These charming touches transport visitors back in time, wrapping them in the old-world allure that originally defined this magnificent establishment.
New Heights in Hospitality
The Dearborn Inn now operates under Marriott’s Autograph Collection, elevating its status and promising an upscale experience for all guests. But what’s hospitality without some fantastic dining options? The renovation introduced two innovative dining concepts to delight palates. Clara’s Table, a farm-to-table restaurant, pays homage to Clara Ford’s passion for gardening, offering a menu inspired by her home-cooked recipes, complete with fresh herbs grown in an on-site chef’s garden.
Meanwhile, the charming Four Vagabonds cocktail bar beckons guests to indulge in small plates and craft cocktails inspired by the legendary adventures of Ford and his contemporaries. This creative atmosphere is enhanced by interactive features throughout the hotel, including a vintage photo booth reminiscent of a Ford Tri-Motor airplane and sketchbooks for guests to jot down their thoughts or ideas.
Exciting New Suites and Guest Amenities
The renovations also included five captivating standalone colonial-style homes that will host guest suites themed around famous historical figures, such as the likes of Edgar Allan Poe and Walt Whitman. These unique accommodations are set to open later this summer, adding even more flavor to the experience.
In the guest rooms, visitors can revel in modern amenities that maintain nods to tradition. Expect sumptuous four-poster walnut beds, eye-catching contemporary art, and spacious bathrooms featuring chic Ford Pantone blue subway tiles. The “labor of love” put into this transformation will ensure guests feel pampered while surrounded by history.
An Atmosphere Like No Other
With the promise of a living museum atmosphere, guests can look forward to being surrounded by carefully curated historic artifacts and the stories that come with them. A ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the big day, where local officials and members of the Ford family gathered to celebrate the grand reopening.
For those considering a getaway, the rates start at $350 per night—an inviting price for such a unique blend of history and modern luxury. The Dearborn Inn is not just a hotel but an experience that combines the elegance of the past with the amenities of the present, inviting you to create your own story amid its rich legacy.
So whether you’re a history buff, a foodie, or just in need of a cozy weekend retreat, the newly transformed Dearborn Inn is ready to welcome you with open arms and a touch of nostalgia!
