Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan, 48243, United States

The tallest building in Detroit, this multi-towered, glass skyscraper is visible for many miles. Erected in 1976 and designed by architect John Portman, the RenCen, as it is widely known, was a controversial attempt at downtown revival. Much criticized at first for its isolated, fortress-like layout and its labyrinthine interior, it is now more user-friendly now that it serves as the General Motors Corporation's world headquarters. The guest rooms are perfect for the business traveler and views from many rooms and restaurants in this riverside tower, Detroit's tallest building, are spectacular. The area has nightlife within walking distance. The central tower houses the Marriott Renaissance Hotel and a revolving restaurant, The Summit, at the top. Visitors can ride elevators to the 72nd floor observation tower for a panoramic view of Detroit and Windsor. Dozens of shops and restaurants, offering a wide variety of goods, dot the lower levels.
