Daxton Hotel

Daxton Hotel

Walk through the doors on Old Woodward Avenue and the first thing that registers is the art: hundreds of Saatchi-curated pieces running the length of the halls, a scale of collection few hotels anywhere attempt, let alone one with only 151 rooms. Daxton Hotel, part of Curio - A Collection by Hilton, opened in 2021 across five floors in the center of Birmingham, Michigan, close enough to the shopping district and restaurants that a coat and a good pair of shoes is all the planning required. The daily hotel fee earns its keep here rather than padding the bill: it covers premium wifi, a $10 credit toward dinner or drinks at Madam or Café Dax, a stocked pantry on every floor, coffee until 11am, and bike rental when the weather allows. Rooms range from a standard king around 340 square feet to a corner king suite past 500, several with private terraces and city views, and accessible rooms with roll-in showers and lowered viewports are part of the standard inventory rather than an afterthought. Doormen and 24-hour reception handle the arrival end of things; a fitness center with Peloton bikes covers the early mornings; Geode Bar & Lounge and the walk-up window Daxton Delights cover the evenings. Guests traveling with a pet pay a flat $150 for the stay. This suits a couple marking an anniversary with dinner reservations already made, or a solo traveler who wants a serious hotel bar and doesn't need a pool. It will feel like overkill to anyone who just wants a bed near the highway exit. The art collection alone puts it in a different category than the business hotels clustered nearby. Daxton Hotel pairs a Saatchi-curated art collection with 151 rooms in central Birmingham, Michigan, and a daily fee that funds wifi, a food credit, and morning coffee rather than padding the bill. Terraces, corner suites, and roll-in-shower accessible rooms cover most requests, though guests wanting resort-style extras should ask first.
