Your staycation options are getting a little posher. Aparium, the Chicago-based group behind the Detroit Foundation Hotel, celebrates the grand opening of the 151-room Daxton Hotel in downtown Birmingham this month.
“Daxton Hotel is a standout in Aparium Hotel Group’s portfolio,” says General Manager Aaron Black, “as it brings a modern vision of Birmingham luxury and incorporates some of the finest art, wellness, dining, and retail that hospitality can offer.”
Hotel’s vision stems from owner Mark Mitchell
Aparium Hotel Group is readying the Daxton Hotel for its March opening. Located in Birmingham, Michigan, the hotel joins the ranks of acclaimed properties such as Kansas City’s Crossroads, the recently opened Hotel Haya, and the Detroit Foundation Hotel.
The latest launch in Aparium’s pipeline of six openings through early 2022, the Daxton Hotel’s vision stems from owner Mark Mitchell. The lifelong metro Detroit area resident pledged to create a hotel product in his local community that sets a new cultural standard for hospitality. As a local hub, and travel destination, the Daxton Hotel features a minimalist-luxe design with saturated colors in spaces such as the chartreuse lobby, lavender parlors, and meetings spaces with original artwork on display.
With restaurants hard hit by the pandemic, it s a good way to help keep them in business.
The Michigan Restaurant & Lodging Association on Thursday issued a call to action asking Michigan residents to support the hospitality industry by buying gift cards, ordering carryout and planning staycations.
Restaurants have a slew of special complete meal or side dish offerings. There s a traditional style Polish dinner, a seafood extravaganzas, cured hams and slew of side dishes.
Here s a sampling what s offered. Pre-ordering is a must and most have cut-offs for ordering very soon and specific pickup dates and times.
