We were looking for a place in Greektown last minute. Check out our computer and found a great deal for a place called The Atheneum. The minute we walk in we knew this was going to be a fun place to stay. Every employee said Hi and could they help us. The person at the front desk was very nice... More

I've always been impressed with the great service and comfortable rooms at the Atheneum. The staff treated us like royalty. The location is great. Its an easy walk to any attraction in Greektown and is across the street from the Greektown Casino. If Greektown isn't your thing, the nation's biggest Buffalo Wild Wings is just a block away. Its not... More

I work in Detroit and know it's not a very appealing city for tourism. But this hotel is the jem of the city! My brother got married at The Whitney and we all booked rooms at The Atheneum for after. What a perfect choice. The location is great, the rooms are wonderful, comfortable beds, clean bathrooms, 2 huge plasma TV's... More

Fantastic location to get to the Greektown Casino (and really any event downtown). Save yourself a few bucks and self park at the garage across the street. I was in town for business, so I was the only person in the HUGE suite. Wow. Luxurious, clean, quiet, comfortable. The staff was very nice and friendly. Continental breakfast in the morning... More

Luxurious accommodations at a reasonable cost. Walking distance to many restaurants and greektown casino. Clean rooms, friendly staff. I would definitely return. Make sure to eat at fishbones & the Mexican restaurant down the street.

We have now stayed here three times, twice in summer and once in winter, and find it consistently great. Staff are totally helpful, location is perfect for baseball/football/theatre/concerts downtown. Valet parking is very convenient. Be sure to take advantage of their free shuttle service to get to/from the local nighttime events safely and quickly. The suites are beautifully decorated, large... More

We always stay downtown for the St. Pats festivities and this year we decided to stay at the Atheneum. We had some 'luck' and got the room on an Internet special so it was only $130 which was a wonderful price for this hotel. The front desk was friendly and helpful and told us about some of the surrounding points... More

I booked a one-night stay at the last minute. The room was superb -- comfy bed, fancy bathroom, two big TVs. I interacted with a few staff members, who ranged in personality from superbly helpful to mildly surly. My biggest critique, though, is that there was no vending machine. I get that it's a fancy hotel and they'd rather me... More

We came to Detroit on 3/9/13 with another couple to go sight seeing and go to a Red Wings game over the weekend. My husband and I have family close by where we usually stay, but because we came with another couple, we decided to stay downtown (something we had never done before). My brother works for the owner of... More
