Book-Cadillac Hotel ghost stories

The Book-Cadillac Hotel (now the Westin Book Cadillac) in downtown Detroit has featured in local accounts and ghost-tour itineraries describing unexplained noises, shadowy figures, and other anecdotal encounters reported by guests and workers over the decades. The hotel, originally opened in the 1920s and later restored, appears frequently in media stories and tour descriptions about Detroit's haunted locations. These accounts are part of the hotel's folkloric reputation and are presented as anecdotal reports rather than verified phenomena. The building's long history and many renovations are often noted in coverage of these stories.
