Hilton has unveiled plans to open a NoMad hotel inside Detroit's Michigan Central Station.
The luxury hotel will be developed through a partnership with Ford Motor Company, which acquired Michigan Central Station in 2018. The hotel will be part of The Station at Michigan Central, a former passenger rail terminal that's being redeveloped into a district that will have retail, public parks, outdoor plazas and 1.2 million square feet of commercial space across multiple restored historic buildings.
According to Hilton, the project will involve a "careful renovation" of the station. Detroit's passenger rail service ended in 1988. The largely vacant building fell into disrepair before being acquired by Ford.
Hilton acquired NoMad last year and plans to rapidly grow the NoMad brand. In addition to the NoMad Detroit, Hilton said it has 15-plus deals in various stages of development globally. Those plans include the 173-room NoMad Singapore, which is expected to open in 2027.
The new NoMad properties will join the flag's one hotel, the NoMad London, which opened in 2021.
Hilton has accelerated the addition luxury and lifestyle hotels. The company expects to add three luxury and lifestyle hotels per week through 2025; more than 150 openings are planned worldwide this year.
Hilton has approximately 1,000 luxury and lifestyle hotels globally across several brands, including Curio Collection, Tapestry Collection, Waldorf Astoria, LXR, Conrad, Graduate, Canopy, Signia, Motto and Tempo.
