Book Cadillac Hotel in Detroit

The massive renovations in the Westin Book Cadillac Hotel downtown make for some premier accommodations in the city. When it was completed in 1924, it was the tallest hotel in the world. The Book brothers built it and Cadillac was the French guy who founded the city. It has been designated an historic place on the National Register. The rooms are luxurious and the meetings areas are impeccably designed. On the upper floors, private residences are available for purchase or for lease.

Roast in the Book Cadillac

If you are looking for some place special to dine, Roast in the Book Cadillac hotel, fits the bill. Chosen as metro Detroit's restaurant of the year in 2009, it is a Michael Symon creation of Iron Chef fame and a regular on the food network. Open for 2 1/2 years now, be prepared for some surprises on the menu... like "Roast Beast of the Day" and the bacon lardon salad which is served with crispy pig ear ;} We drooled over the sides: rosemary fries, spinach and feta au gratin, fried brussel sprouts and roasted beets. They decanted for us a bold and luscious Diamant from Karantes of the Languedoc-Rouissillon region in southern France and the birthday dessert was exquisite! It's open for dinner every day of the week.
