Michigan Central Station Upper Floors Expected To Open As Luxury Hotel In 2027

Several historic and notable hotels and museums are set to reopen or launch in 2025, emphasizing restoration and community engagement. The Wichita Falls Railroad Museum in Texas, closed since 2020, is undergoing restoration led by a new board with plans to reopen this summer and host various events, while seeking volunteers for cleanup and restoration efforts. In Connecticut, the Whaler’s Inn family has opened The Stanton House, a renovated 100-year-old building offering luxury suites and event spaces that honor Mystic’s maritime heritage. In Scotland, the historic Dreadnought Hotel in Callander has been acquired by Caledonian Travel, renamed The Caledonian Thistle Hotel, and is slated to reopen after refurbishment at the end of July. Detroit's Michigan Central Station will debut a luxury NoMad hotel on its upper floors for the first time in over a century, featuring 180 rooms and upscale amenities, marking a key phase in the building’s restoration and its evolution into a vibrant innovation hub. These projects highlight a blend of preserving historical significance while promoting modern hospitality and community use.
