About Method Co. 

Method Co. is a boutique hospitality company that develops, designs, and operates a portfolio of hotels, restaurants, and apartment-style accommodations across the country.

About ROOST Detroit  

ROOST Detroit is a beautifully designed, apartment‑style hotel located inside the iconic and fully restored Book Tower in the heart of downtown Detroit. Blending the comfort of a modern residence with the service and sophistication of a boutique hotel, ROOST offers guests a warm, lived‑in experience rooted in craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and a deep sense of place. 

Each apartment‑style unit features full kitchens, custom furnishings, curated artwork, and residential‑inspired details that make long‑term stays feel effortless and short‑term visits feel elevated. The property is complemented by a collection of shared spaces—including a lush lobby lounge, library, and communal areas—that reflect Method Co.’s signature approach to hospitality: design‑forward, culturally connected, and deeply welcoming. 

Located within Book Tower’s vibrant mixed‑use community, ROOST Detroit places guests steps away from restaurants, bars, retail, and the city’s architectural and cultural landmarks. It serves as both a home base for extended stays and a stylish retreat for travelers seeking a more immersive Detroit experience.
