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&usp=sharing
Public transportation
The Detroit to DTW bus is available from 3:30 am - 11:00 pm every day, and will take you from the airport to downtown Detroit. The bus stop is about 4 miles from the hotel, but conveniently located a short walk from Detroit only street car line, the QLine.
The QLine is free to ride and will drop you off basically directly in front of the hotel. It operates from 8:00 AM - 12:00 AM Monday - Saturday and 8:00 AM - 9:00 PM on Sundays.
Bus tickets are $6 if you buy in advance and $8 if you book at the door: https://www.dax-bus.com/
QLine information is available here: https://www.qlinedetroit.com/how-to-ride/
It has several legs, but we will genuinely prepare a special prize for anyone who chooses the public transportation option.
You can reduce the carbon emissions of your airport to hotel trip by over 90% by choosing this option!
Cars
Otherwise, you can rent a car and drive or get an uber.
We have reserved spaces in the parking lot behind the venue with an onsite attendant / security guard for the duration of the event. You should not have to pay to park, as we have already rented the space. The entrance to the parking lot is around the corner from the venue of W Milwaukee Ave.
