Elite Overview
From the editors of Elite Meetings
In the fall of 2008, following a two-year $200-million renovation, the historic Book-Cadillac Hotel reclaimed its position as the premier lodging and meeting destination in Detroit, Michigan. Now called The Westin Book Cadillac Detroit, the 32-story Italian Renaissance–style beauty stood as the tallest hotel in the world when it opened in 1924. Historic guest books list everyone from presidents Hoover, Truman Eisenhower, and Kennedy to Irving Berlin, Babe Ruth, Frank Sinatra, and Martin Luther King, Jr.
Today the famed Italian Garden and Venetian and Crystal ballrooms bask in their original period glory, while a contemporary look and vehicle accessibility highlight the new Woodward Ballroom. All meeting venues, including three executive boardrooms, boast the very latest in technology. Along with the 13 conference rooms (for groups of up to 1,000), the hotel offers 453 deluxe rooms and suites—all with sweeping views of the Detroit River or the city skyline—plus 60 luxury residential units on the top floors. Executive Club Level accommodations satisfy the most discriminating VIPs.
Gourmet dining includes the Boulevard Room for a health-minded breakfast or lunch and the 24 Grille for a casually elegant meal. Celebrity chef Michael Symon, of Iron Chef fame, heads Roast, which specializes in the fine art of locally sourced and prepared artisanal and heritage meats. Guests also enjoy the trendy Motor Bar, Starbucks cafe, fitness center, indoor pool, and full-service spa. Thanks in part to the exceptional devotion of the staff, guest satisfaction surveys place the hotel in the top ten percent of all North American Westin properties.

Recommendation to Planners:
We had a large conference at the Westin Book Cadillac and it was a good experience. The only troubles we had were: The staff was slow with setting lunch while our guests had to wait in the hallway and the AV team was lacking in support and understaffed. We used the large ballroom and our attendees loved the event. Great venue overall, many A-list celebrities stay at the hotel.
Overall Rating: 4.6/5

I can't say enough about the Westin Book Cadillac. The hotel is absolutely gorgeous and the staff is even more impressive.
