The Henry is the hotel to choose if The Henry Ford is the reason for your trip. It stands at 300 Town Center Drive in Fairlane Plaza, Dearborn, beside the Ford Motor Company campus and within walking distance of Fairlane Town Center, and The Henry Ford's museum, village and Rouge tour are only minutes away by car. A member of Marriott's Autograph Collection, it is known for its art: works by Picasso, Chagall, Rembrandt and Renoir hang alongside modern artists such as Peter Max and Yaacov Agam, with bronzes by Nano Lopez and hand-blown glass by April Wagner, the collection supplied through Park West Gallery. TRIA, the main restaurant, serves modern American cooking and has a bar area, and there is in-room dining. Guests have a year-round indoor pool and a free fitness center with cardio machines and weights, and self-parking is complimentary, which is a real saving compared with downtown Detroit.
Location and getting around: Dearborn is about twenty minutes west of downtown Detroit and roughly twelve miles from Detroit Metropolitan Airport, so The Henry is also a practical first or last night for flights. The hotel has no airport shuttle, but sedan service can be booked. A car or rideshare is the easiest way to reach The Henry Ford, downtown and Midtown, and with free parking a rental car makes sense here. Dearborn also has one of the largest Arab American communities in the country, and its Middle Eastern bakeries and restaurants are a highlight of any stay.
The rooms: rooms and suites are in a tower, and upper floors look out over Dearborn. They are spacious and quiet compared with downtown, and suites give families room to spread out. Check-in is from 4 p.m. and check-out at 11 a.m., and the minimum age to check in is 21.
Who it suits and what to know: car lovers, families planning two days at The Henry Ford, business travelers visiting Ford and anyone flying in late. Dogs up to forty pounds are welcome for a fee, two per room. If you want to walk out to bars and restaurants every night, downtown suits you better, but for value, space and easy parking this is the smart Dearborn base.
