About

Originally opened in 1917, the Fort Shelby represented the exuberance and optimism that fueled Detroit’s rise in the early 20th century. The hotel quickly became one of Detroit’s top luxury hotels and was expanded in 1927 with the addition of a 22-story tower designed by famed Detroit architect Albert Kahn in the Beaux-Arts style. Named after a revolutionary war era fort that was located near the site, the Fort Shelby was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
