This iconic hotel merges its rich history with modern luxuries, featuring preserved elements and new culinary experiences. The reopening introduces 135 stylish rooms, including 19 luxurious suites, and a main restaurant, Clara’s Table, focused on locally sourced dishes. Additional plans include colonial-style homes for more accommodations, ensuring a unique stay for all visitors. The hotel is ready to host events, offering updated spaces for gatherings of up to 850 guests.
Great news for fans of history and those looking for a cozy getaway! The Dearborn Inn, a historic gem and one of the very first airport hotels in the United States, has officially reopened its doors after an eye-catching two-year renovation. Originally opened in 1931, thanks to automotive pioneer Henry Ford, this beloved hotel is turning heads yet again, welcoming guests since March 19, 2025.
Nestled just across from the iconic Ford Airport, the Dearborn Inn has played a significant role in American hospitality for nearly a century. Recognized on the National Register of Historic Places since 1982, it has seen a multitude of guests and historical moments unfold right before its welcoming doors. The recent renovation was a joint effort between the visionary minds at Ford Land and talented partners like AvroKO and Quinn Evans, ensuring that the hotel has been artfully refreshed while keeping its historic heart alive.
The Ford family was committed to maintaining the heart and soul of the Dearborn Inn. They meticulously preserved key features like the breathtaking checkerboard Italian marble flooring in the lobby and the timeless green marble fireplace—opening their arms to both old and new guests alike. While paying homage to the hotel’s glorious past, the renovations tastefully include modern elements to provide today’s visitors with a luxurious experience without overshadowing the innate charm of yesteryear.
One of the delights of this renovation is the inclusion of treasured artifacts from the Ford archives. Guests can wander around and discover a curated collection of historical treasures, including a whimsical scrapbook filled with love letters from honeymooning couples and vintage menus signed by notable personalities, including Walt Disney! It’s a magical experience that feels like stepping into a captivating time capsule—complete with plush beds to ensure a restorative stay!
As for accommodations, the Dearborn Inn now boasts 135 stylish rooms that ooze historic charm! Among these are 19 indulgent suites, plus a sophisticated Presidential Suite complete with a living room, kitchenette, and dining area. Guests can expect to find gorgeous four-poster walnut frames, classic Eames chairs, and bathrooms adorned with unique Ford Pantone blue tiles. It’s a thoughtful blend of historical reference and contemporary comfort, making for a delightful retreat.
If you’re a food aficionado, you won’t want to miss out on Clara’s Table, the hotel’s flagship restaurant. This dining experience is inspired by none other than Henry Ford’s wife, Clara Ford, and it showcases vibrant dishes crafted from fresh ingredients grown right in the hotel’s own garden. It’s not just a meal; it’s an explosion of flavors that pays homage to local produce and rich culinary traditions.
But wait, there’s more! After indulging in delicious meals, guests can wind down at the Four Vagabonds bar, which celebrates the friendships and innovations that Henry Ford shared with pioneers of early 20th-century America. Whether you’re enjoying a cleverly crafted cocktail or a refined glass of wine, this bar is the ideal spot to relax after a day filled with adventures.
In an intriguing addition, the Dearborn Inn plans to introduce five standalone colonial-style homes, inspired by iconic literary figures such as Edgar Allan Poe. This expansion will bring 18 more guest rooms to the mix, enhancing the unique offerings for visitors who are eager for an extraordinary overnight experience filled with historic allure and modern amenities.
Are you in the process of planning a special occasion? The reimagined spaces at the Dearborn Inn can accommodate gatherings of up to 850 guests! Whether it’s a wedding, corporate event, or romantic gathering, the updated indoor and outdoor venues are set to impress and create unforgettable memories.
If the combination of historical significance and contemporary luxury sounds right up your alley, make sure to check out the Dearborn Inn. With room rates starting at $350 per night since bookings opened on March 19, 2025, each visit to this rejuvenated hotel promises to honor and celebrate a rich legacy while providing modern comforts for all its guests.
