Houseperson- The Siren Hotel in Detroit, Michigan at ASH People LLC

About ASH

ASH Hotels designs, develops, owns and operates a very special collection of properties. In our

world, a hotel is much more than a destination to meet, dine, or sleep. Rather, it is a dynamic site of imagery and emotions, interactions and sensations manifesting within the walls of a beautifully restored local legend - a living movie set. An ASH hotel is a connection to the past and a beacon for the future, layered in nuanced storytelling that invites exploration time and again.

About The Siren

Embracing the traces of downtown Detroit’s legacy, music, history and design buffs alike are drawn to The Siren. Adorned with a mix of contemporary fixtures and vintage items sourced from around the world, The Siren is a metaphor: a beckoning call to the city of Detroit and its ever-enduring wonder. It’s an ode that’s achieved the impossible; we’ve woven Detroit's pre-modern zeitgeist – motown, avant-garde architecture, urban charm – with an emerging and revitalized downtown fabric. Three food & beverage spaces, a retail shop, a rooftop with panoramic views, and 106 guest rooms spread across 55,000 square feet in Detroit’s legendary Wurlitzer Building, once referred to as “the world’s largest music house.” In the building’s second coming, it pays tribute to what came before and a nod to the unwritten future of America’s most beguiling city.
