Detroit
Detroit lies on the Detroit River which connects Lakes Eerie and St. Clair.
Across the river is the Canadian town of Windsor, reached through the tunnel west of the Renaissance Center, or by the Ambassador Bridge.
Detroit is not as bad as some reports make out, but it has seen better days.
The Renaissance Center, on the river, was built to help revitalise the centre of Detroit. The multipurpose complex has space for shops, offices, theatres, and hotels.
A world of fashion, specialty stores, restaurants and business offices are located in the Renaissance Center along with a Marriott Hotel.
GM World features a collection of General Motors' automobiles from the past to the present and on to the future.
Getting Around Detroit
The Detroit People Mover affects not only the image of the city but also plays a role in the attraction of conventions and tourism, businesses and entertainment to downtown Detroit.
Hop on board the Detroit People Mover and discover just how easy it is to learn about Detroit.
Where to Stay in Detroit
Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center
Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center: Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan.
The hotel's location in the GM Renaissance Center provides guests with easy access to a variety of shops, restaurants and services. Dramatic views highlight guest rooms that are elegantly styled in warm, jewel tones.
Soaring 73 floors above the Detroit River, the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center is a premier city centre hotel that rises to meet the needs of business, leisure and meeting guests alike.
Around Michigan
Michigan gets its name from Lake Michigan; a derived Algonquian term for big water.
The State of Michigan is blessed with the riches of unspoiled nature: the nation's longest freshwater coastline, lakes that feel like oceans, golden beaches, an abundance of fresh produce straight from the farm.
Whether you are a cityscape adventurer or an outdoor enthusiast, a foodie or a thrill-seeker, travelling with your family or making memories with friends, you are on the brink of planning a vacation so unique, it can only be classified as Pure Michigan.
The Great Lakes
Michigan has a Great Lakes shoreline of about 5,310 km, and boasts more beaches than Hawaii. Shame about the climate.
Ships travelling from Lake Superior to Lake Huron drop 21 feet in the canal locks at Sault Ste. Marie, northern Michigan.
Tour boats also allow visitors the chance to experience the drop.
Located 50 miles north of the Mackinac Bridge, Soo Locks Boat Tours propose an educational and fun-filled adventure in historic Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan.
Lansing
The capital of Michigan often gets missed by most visitors to the state, as it's not on the coastal route.
In the 1840s a group of New York families came here to claim the land they had purchased, only to find it didn't exist.
The area was occupied by the Chippewa people but the disillusioned families remained, and named the new settlement after their former home in New York.
