Michigan Central to Bring New NoMad Hotel to Detroit

NoMad Hotels has announced its debut in Michigan, following an agreement with Ford Motor Company to open a nearly 180-guest room hotel in Detroit. The hotel will be housed within The Station at Michigan Central, a 30-acre tech and cultural hub. This is part of an ambitious effort to revitalize Detroit's historic, once-abandoned passenger rail station. NoMad Detroit closely follows the announcement of the brand's Asia debut in Singapore, after Sydell Group and Hilton partnered together last year in a joint venture to grow the NoMad brand. The NoMad brand was founded in 2011 and is led by CEO Andrew Zobler, an industry veteran in the lifestyle hospitality space. NoMad's legacy in creative place making is unmistakable, with its brand becoming a namesake for the New York neighborhood it helped revitalize.
