Weather in Detroit

Detroit has four distinct seasons, starting with a cold January when temperatures are around -7°C (18°F). Snow and ice are prevalent throughout the winter. In July, the warmest month, the average temperature is around 29°C (84°F). Summer is the busiest period for tourists, who leap on the opportunity to boat, fish, and bike around the city. Detroit is also worth visiting in the autumn when the weather is crisp and cool and the autumn foliage is at its height. Spring is unpredictable but coincides with the city's most popular music festival, Movement, which attracts throngs to the riverfront.

Featured Hotels

The Atheneum Suite Hotel Detroit

This grand property’s location in Greektown is not taken lightly in terms of interior décor: you will find Greek revival touches and portraits of Greek mythology throughout. As the name suggests, the hotel offers suites only, and the 174 rooms have marble baths and the usual modern conveniences. There is no restaurant, but the hotel is situated close to a wide choice of eateries.

Dearborn Inn

Opened in 1931, this is actually the world’s first airport hotel, and though that specific airport has long since gone, the hotel retains a certain cachet. The Georgian building enjoys a plum location within 9 hectares (23 acres) of landscaped gardens, and feels like an oasis and an escape from the urban clamour. The hotel has two restaurants and a pool.

Holiday Inn Detroit Downtown

As well as a good range of value rooms, this well-located hotel has a choice of suites with their own kitchens if you plan to stay longer. A 24-hour business centre and full breakfast service are also big pluses, and you’re not far from the conveniences of downtown.

Hotel St. Regis

Just a few blocks from the Amtrak station, this hotel located conveniently close to the Motown Museum and downtown Detroit offers comfortable rooms in classy accommodations. St. Regis is a landmark among hotels, having housed such remarkable travelers as Martin Luther King and Mick Jagger. Their on-site restaurant, La Musique, hosts entertainment and cocktails weekly, and many lovers choose this building for their private weddings.

Trumbull and Porter Hotel

Pleasant and functional, this hotel near the banks of the Detroit River is more than its outdoor murals and lobby coffee bar. While you can see the city from your room, you’re also only a mile and a half from both Greektown and the Comerica Park Baseball Stadium, where the Detroit Tigers play. Your stay comes with free parking and WiFi, and in upgraded rooms, a whirlpool tub.

Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center

Soaring 73 floors above the Detroit River, this is Metro Detroit's largest hotel: it has no fewer than 1,298 guest rooms luxuriously appointed for both business and leisure travel. The hotel's location in the GM Renaissance Center means that guests have easy access to a variety of shops, restaurants and services. Guests dining at the hotel's American restaurant Volt have great views of the Detroit River and Windsor.
