| Inspired by a passion for Colonial Revival architecture, Henry Ford commissioned renowned architect Albert Kahn to design The Dearborn Inn, who in 1931 would create a Georgian inn to serve Ford’s Dearborn airport. The Dearborn hotel is now recognized on the National Register of Historic Places and features 229 rooms, including 5 Colonial guest homes, built in 1937. While thoughtful interior renovations have occurred over the Dearborn hotel’s 77 year history, the exterior has remained the same as Ford’s original vision. Additional features include The Early American Room, a fine dining restaurant; the Ten Eyck Tavern, a home-style dining establishment; a seasonal outdoor pool; and 17,000 square feet of meeting space including the Alexandria Ballroom, which Ford commissioned to satisfy his love of dancing. |
