integrating historic culture
The Godfrey Detroit
Located in Detroit’s historic Corktown neighborhood, The Godfrey Hotel was designed to be a natural addition to the community. Everything from the vibrant murals and repetitive nature of the windows, to the Detroit-centric embellishments represent Corktown and the industrious spirit of the city.
vision
The hotel is designed to welcome travelers to the unique, historic neighborhood while supporting those who call Corktown home. The project team took special care to understand the needs of the community through visioning sessions and surveys, which is reflected in the design.
