History

In 1920, Detroit’s WWJ became the first radio station licensed by the federal government—and its original building serves as Cambria Hotel Detroit Downtown’s current home. You’ll see subtle nods to the building’s history and origins throughout the hotel, serving as a reminder of our deep ties to local history.

Architectural Design

Designed by Albert Kahn in 1936, this building has taken many forms—first as the headquarters for WWJ radio, then as a Union Building, and finally as a hotel. We’ve taken care to preserve the building’s original structure and outward appearance, maintaining that classic Art Deco look that once defined the city of Detroit.

Art Deco Ambience

The glamor of Art Deco lies in the architectural style as much as in what it represents. Clean lines and ziggurat-style facades exude a sleek sophistication that calls to mind the modernity of the 1920s and 30s. We’ve taken care to maintain the building’s very essence, both inside and out.
