Fort Pontchartrain Detroit, a Wyndham Hotel

Why you should go…

This 25-story hotel was dedicated on July 24, 1965 as the Hotel Pontchartrain, on the ground where the French built Fort Pontchartrain in 1701. Angular bay windows give its 367 rooms views of the Detroit River and the city, and it carried Radisson, Crowne Plaza and Sheraton names before taking its current one in 2021. You are steps from Huntington Place and within walking distance of the RiverWalk, Greektown and the Fox Theatre.

Good to know

General stay guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Rates swing with the calendar

    Midweek nights and shoulder-season dates are usually the kindest on price.

  • Read what is included

    Parking, resort fees, and breakfast are the three extras that most often land on the final bill.

  • Ask at booking, not at the desk

    Early check-in, late checkout, and room preferences go further when you request them in advance.

  • On a short trip, location wins

    What you can reach on foot from the door matters more than the amenities list.
