The project's developer, Detroit-based Sterling Group, confirmed Wednesday that the JW Marriott luxury brand will open in the new 25-story hotel building that is going up next door to the Huntington Place convention center, near the former site of Joe Louis Arena.

The hotel is scheduled to be done by early 2027 and will be the second JW Marriott in Michigan, after a Grand Rapids location.

The possibility of a JW Marriott next to Huntington Place was the subject of media reports last week. The hotel's construction has been underway for weeks, but the specific brand of hotel hadn't been confirmed. The hotel will connect to Huntington Place via a raised pedestrian bridge.
