Daxton hotel discount code
Unless you live in the Detroit area, chances are you haven't heard of Birmingham. A 30-minute drive north of Motor City, the charming city has a modest population of around 21,000 residents, but it brims with urban perks like world-class shopping, a pedestrian-friendly downtown, and cultural offerings belying its small size.
As it turns out, everything that makes Birmingham so livable also makes it a terrific place to visit. It's no wonder why longtime resident and entrepreneur Mark Mitchell decided to venture into hospitality and open the Daxton Hotel in spring 2021.
Located on Old Woodward Avenue, which is lined with historic businesses like Birmingham 8 (a 1920s movie theater) and Harp's Lingerie (a shop that opened in 1947), the 151-room boutique property embraces a new type of luxury — one that prioritizes forward-thinking design and full-sensory experiences.
It's the diverse 400-piece art collection curated by Saatchi Art that'll first catch your eye. Doubling as a gallery, the lobby displays thought-provoking works, including Adrian Landon's gold-plated "Golden Mechanical Horse," which was commissioned by the hotel and can be set in motion with a tap of a button, as well as splashy, abstract paintings by Mitchell's friend and Australian artist Stephen Rowe. Even the oversized geodesic structure cocooning the hotel's bar is a visual stunner meticulously crafted by Michigan-based master welder Andy Dafski.
It’s a beautiful hotel 🏨 I stay there once and I love it
