It can be a good place but everything was closed when we went there so didn’t really get to explore much but view was nice and they had some really cool cars at display. They also have some cafes and restaurants and sitting area to relax and eat.

Excellent place to visit with many shops, on Saturday unfortunately they close at like 2. Many great building views and places to walk with a cool frosted glass floor that's really weird to walk on! Great place to stop into while visiting Hart Plaza. LED displays are great with awesome views.

Did know what to expect, but it was so cool !! GM Merchandise store !! It was closed but tomorrow is a new day !!! Lots of cool cars to see!!!!

The restaurant at the top is the Highlands. The views from the top are spectacular. Canada on one side and the Detroit city on the other . There is a lounge area and a bar area just incase you do not have a reservation for the dining room. Its pricey but the views and the service is totally worth the proce Having said that the showroom in the building is beautiful. Its a visual treat to see all the vintage GM cars all stacked up for public viewing . Highly recommend this place at least once if you are a visiting Detroit!

Awesome place. Bunch of cool cars inside to see, a food court with a cafe and cool architecture. Step out to the back for cool river views to Windsor.

One of my favorite places in Michigan. I have many good memories here and making new ones. GM’s inclusion of everyone is unbelievable. Handicap access to everything, they even have made wheelchair accessible booths for doing work on a laptop with a beautiful view. Seeing the palm trees brings a warm feeling to my heart. I won’t be able to travel far enough to see them outside, so I’m very grateful just be able to have them here in Michigan. There are a lot of eateries around this area as are some shops. BIG reminder! Look on the RenCen website for parking discounts. There are 3 restaurants that allow you to get valet parking at a huge discount. If you don’t eat but shop instead, the site gives you the information needed on purchase amount and where to get a discount off of a parking garage. I typically park across Beaubien Blvd. at SP+ Parking. I’ve always gotten a good spot and it’s the least expensive garage close by that I’ve found. The interior of the RenCen has many cars and welcomes you with a huge sign in all languages. There is a conveyer in the middle that goes around showing off some of GM history with electric vehicles and the screens in the middle show a huge aquarium at times, many stories high. It is safe and has a wonderful outside area that leads to the riverside. You can see Canada and relax in one of the unique and comfortable chairs by the water. Also there are eateries in a cafeteria type environment like Burger King and some others. Not everything is always open, so if you have your heart set on an eatery or shop, call ahead or look them up on the net to see if they’re open when you plan to visit. Within walking distance are both The Joe Louis and Spirit of Detroit Monuments. I’ve never stayed at the Marriott inside the RenCen, but going here even for the day, is a day we’ll spent.

Nice place by the Detroit Riverwalk to spend an evening at. It's the General Motors headquarters and also hosts plenty of good restaurants where one can enjoy some fancy food, drinks, ambience and service.

August 2022 - what an interesting building. Nothing was open when we went in the Ren Center. Loved looking at the cars and the big fish tank. We didn't have a chance to view the inside but from what we as a family viewed we liked. I would recommend you going down town early on a Sunday, and walk around. Beautiful view from the building of the water and Canada.

Nice views of Canada and the Detroit River. Great restaurant on site. Marriott hotel check in could be a little better. The rooms could be updated as well. The people mover is connected to the building which makes getting around Detroit easy. The location is central and next to heart plaza. Greek town and campus martius is a short walk away.

I am amazed how much detroit downtown has been changed in a few years. Renaissance center is reforming with this auto industry's booming nowadays. Center inside has café, vehicle display center and shopping. Only negative thing is that they closed too early like 4 pm. Please check the time before you make your trip.

Quite the site from the other side of the river. Interesting build design with the center tower and the four outlying towers. The sign on the top can be a bit bright at night hahahaha. Always fun to walk down the river and take pictures of this magnificent shiny edifice and the other towers of Detroit. Motor City will once again shine, but as of right now.... well, we'll see haha.

The GM Renaissance Center know to Detroiter’s as the “Ren Cen” is a beautiful architectural building along the Detroit riverfront. It has many amenities inside including one of the largest Marriott’s, eateries, meeting areas and GM automobiles both new and old. It has 75 floors and has a restaurant at the top overlooking Canada. It’s a fun place to visit and stay as it’s close to everything including convention centers, baseball field and museums.

A City within a City Multi-towered skyscraper is the tallest building in Detroit that features an observation tower on the 72nd floor. The GM Renaissance Center in Detroit, Michigan, is a group of seven interconnected skyscrapers in the downtown area on the Detroit International Riverfront that is owned by General Motors as its world headquarters. The Central Tower, the 1,298-room Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center, is the third tallest all-hotel skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere and the tallest building in Michigan since it was erected in 1977. The 73-story, 727-foot luxury hotel is the centerpiece of the complex with its cylindrical design, lighted glass walkway radiating the mezzanine level, eight-story atrium lobby and 26,000-square-foot ballroom, one of the largest in the United States. The complex is designed in the Modern Architecture style with glass as a main material. It also includes four 39-story office towers that surround the 73-story hotel rising from a square-shaped podium which includes a shopping center, restaurants, brokerage houses and banks. Two additional 2l-story office towers were added in 1981. All told, Renaissance Center covers 5,552,000 square feet, making it one of the world's largest commercial complexes. Located along the Detroit River, the 14-acre site is situated in the middle of downtown Detroit, a mile north of Comerica Park and Ford Field, adjacent to the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel to Canada. It features 66 stores, restaurants and banks, including McDonald's, Subway, Burger King, Potbelly and Joseph A. Bank, even a GM showroom and a Christian Science reading room.

Great rooms and sites, in walking distance to everything downtown. They have cars that I've never seen before in the showroom and the building looks amazing. The views in the rooms are the best in Michigan hands down

It was a good place. Lake Huron acts as a natural separation between the USA and Canada. The city visible from Detroit is Windsor, Canada. The GM center itself is pretty iconic from the inside.

Beautiful inside and the views of the riverfront are amazing.

I love the building.

This is definitely the most iconic building in Detroit area. Great food court, Marriott Renaissance, board walk, Riverfront are some of attractions. I have stayed at this Marriott many a times and this offers a beautiful view of the Detroit river. The building is beautifully lit during the night.

Very cool building with cars on display. I visited a couple years ago and was impressed with how massive the building is on the inside. I also loved that it was right there on the riverfront.

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed GM world. I initially thought it would be like a show room for their vehicles but it’s much more than that. The first floor is organized into a historical telling of accomplishments of the company in well thought out stylish display. Don’t be intimidated from the outside, explore this place inside and you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Went for an appointment at the Italian Consulate in this building and was surprised to see cool cars, boutiques and restaurants inside. Parking on the side of the building was a breeze. Well organized and clean.

Nice rooms and view! Staff was courteous and professional! Update - Hotel was really busy this time which was awesome to see! Donna was amazing getting us checked in.. the rooms were perfect!

Great place!! More than I could have imagined. The receptionists and security were an absolute pleasure. Access to the parking garage was good off Beaubien coming from Jefferson. The views from the elevator going up to the 26 floor in tower 400 and from the different areas throughout took my breath away. #detroit #gmrencenter #renaissancecenter #gmrenaissancecenter

Detroit Life✊🏾💙❤🖤

The GM center stands in the middle of Detroit Riverwalk. With its several adjoined skyscrapers it's the tallest Detroit edifice easily seen and recognizable from all around. It's a huge complex with office space, hotel, food court and GM cars displayed down in the lobby (free and clean restrooms by them if you're walking the Riverwalk).

Checked out the GM animated LED displays in the atrium that we installed a few years ago, still looks fantastic!

Awesome place! Just wish the gift shops were open so I could buy merchandise. But will be back again!

That's a lot of concrete! And it's huge, big enough for a food court!! Which it totally has!

Had the chance to stay on the 68th floor.It was supposed to be 2 queen beds but it was only one king.We didn't complain because the view was amazing.We had to get a roll away bed for our third guest which was 50$ extra.Beds were comfy and the floor was quiet. Check out at noon is nice,get to sleep in if ya boozed a bit the night before.Panera bread downstairs was overpriced as usualy..10$ for a coffee and a bagel🙄

Very nice center with a great view of Canada and the Detroit River. There is a Marriott that was very nice and The Joe Muer Seafood restaurant inside is magnificent. The valet was also fabulous

2023 Detroit Grand Prix June 2 - 4, 2023, was held here at the RenCen. First 100 Corvettes were allowed to drive the track. (That's us in the red vette) The event was awesome, assess to the pits, IndyCar's and drivers. Great hospitality area and interactions.

Do not go here! My husband and I went here to celebrate our anniversary 2 months ago, and we are still fighting a bogus charge to our credit card. The customer service is horrible. They will not tell us what the charge is for. They will not provide us with proof of our signature and they insist we show proof????? Proof of a charge we didn't make??? Honestly! I have never been so frustrated. Best believe we will never stay at a Marriott again! If you do stay there, take my advice and demand a receipt and make sure the charges are correct before you leave.

Employees very courteous. Rooms nice bed a little bit too soft. Nice place to have conventions and the view is awesome. being able to walk by the lake is pretty special too.

I didn't really explore the Renaissance Center. I went for a dental appointment, which didn't require me to pass through much of it: however, from during prior visits I have always found it to be clean and well maintained. There are some retail stores, some restaurants and several GM vehicles are displayed in the lobby.

The bottom floor is filled with some cool cars, the building is really great. There are some food options on the bottom floor as well, those were good too. I enjoyed staying at the hotel, even though it was a little bit on the pricy side, but it was worth it.

Beautiful building and city. Love Detroit, home away from home. Lots to look at and visit and walk through the downtown area. While your walking you will meet nice and polite people on your journey like we did. Have fun and be safe!

It is a very beautiful building, but seeing pickup trucks models on display that cost more than your house makes you feel like the American dream is gone. Simple, no thrill, get it done pickups need to be offered again. Something a family of 4 making $2,000 a month can afford.
