Wow! What a great building with multiple levels and great automotive displays. Great place to take a break, use a restroom, and get a bite to eat. Highly recommend stopping here to enjoy the views inside and out. Take the People Mover or walk. We did both, to and from. Everything is super close, so not a big deal to walk, but definitely a plus to take the people mover to view the entire downtown. Best of all, free to visit!

Highlands was great. Confusing to find your way around the lower levels. Not much selection for food and it feels isolated from the rest of the city. Feels old, tired and rundown.

Hard to review this place... if not for the cars shown all over the place, there's probably nothing else to see. I enjoyed the little historical museum and the evolution of the GM cars. My favorite is everyone else's favorite.... The Corvette. Wish there were more of the classic ones. Would recommend this place but not one to go back to since there's really nothing in Detroit.

The GM Renaissance Center know to Detroiter's as the "Ren Cen" is a beautiful architectural building along the Detroit riverfront. It has many amenities inside including one of the largest Marriott's, eateries, meeting areas and GM automobiles both new and old. The middle building has 75 stories and a restaurant on the top floor overlooking Canada. It's a fun place to visit and stay as it's close to everything including convention centers, baseball field and museums.

Atrocious service. Ping ponged around the place trying to get help on accessing the stairs to get to the restaurant but was denied. For people who have a phobia of elevators, they clearly didn't care and denied my business. Beautiful building, but godawful management.
There used to be a wider selection of restaurants to choose from.

Very rude; terribly over priced. Bad hotel.

The Ren Cen has certainly rejuvenated the Detroit skyline with a modern, glassy touch, thanks to its sleek, cylindrical towers. It's debatable as to whether it's helped rejuvenate the downtown area, as it sits along the river, walled off from the rest of downtown by Jefferson Avenue, rendering it almost an isolated fortress. Getting to it from downtown was itself a challenge, as when I visited recently, the DPM didn't stop at the Ren Cen, necessitating a walk from the Millender Center station across the street. Here, there is an unmarked, borderline creepy stairway in a hotel lobby that leads to a second-level glass walkway above Jefferson. The walkway itself feels like a tunnel back into the '70s, with paneling falling from the ceiling. Once inside the Ren Cen, you'll be struck by the vintage concrete vastness of the main hall, which is a GM showroom, as well as the emptiness of all the spaces around it. Perhaps some of the outlets are open on the weekdays, but on the weekends the whole venue felt like a ghost town, with absolutely nothing open. There were a handful of folks who, like me, were perusing the GM cars and the Winter Garden, but there was otherwise nothing else to do. The Winter Garden empties out onto the riverwalk. Here, there's a small plaza where you can take a break before heading onto other points along the river.
