Q + A

The Hotel St. Regis is down the street from the venue (~5 min walk), so it is very much the most convenient option for lodging! You should be able to book using their normal online booking system and the code (PBW26), but if you have any problems, you can also give them a call and provide the code. There is an additional $20/night fee to park in the hotel's gated lot, which we would recommend. If you really want to use airbnb or vrbo, we would recommend looking a little farther from the venue (but not that far, like 2 miles max) in corktown, midtown, or downtown: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1HAM47OknVtddeyrXl33HB6I3mgKbpUo&amp;usp=sharing

This iconic Detroit landmark celebrates boxer Joe Louis' legacy in both sports and civil rights.

Monument to Joe Louis “The Fist”

Detroit's other iconic landmark is located minutes from the Fist of Joe Louis in the heart of downtown Detroit.

The Detroit Riverwalk is a 3-mile trail following the Detroit River in the heart of downtown. This is a great way to wave hello to Canada while also appreciating a long and ongoing process to restore and revitalize Detroit's industrial waterfront.

Detroit Riverwalk

The Detroit Zoo is located a little bit farther from the St. Regis Hotel, in the nearby suburb of Royal Oak.
