Rooftop Urban Cabins
Built high atop the El Moore, our four rooftop urban cabins are the perfect getaway in the heart of the city. The cabins feature many reclaimed materials original to our 1898 building, as well as some of the El Moore’s 21st century innovations. Guests will enjoy beds custom made by a Detroit furniture maker, artisan poured concrete countertops and stunning views of Midtown and Downtown Detroit from private balconies. Each of our cabins is appointed with either queen or king sized beds, kitchenettes, plenty of storage, and boast an abundance of natural light from multiple windows.
In addition, the Cabins are key to our sustainability practices – their sloped roofs are the perfect home for our photovoltaic solar panels and direct rainwater into a 4500 gallon cistern to water our native landscaping.
