    This is possibly the most confusing building ever designed. But you have to visit it once, just because it's so unique. GM did some great renovations. The Wintergarden is awesome!

    Pretty in a throw back way. The steel, chrome, glass and light wood panels. The view from the court of the river and Windsor is great to see

    Amazing corperate building and they will give you a tour as well. Wave hello to Canada on the other side.

    Coach Insignia is a great place to eat at the top level with a spectacular view of Detroit and Windsor at night especially with your fine lady

    A fun place to dip into to get out of he elements when you're wandering about downtown! Admire the interior architecture and pretty unique layout.

    Take the side elevators up as high as you can to get a crazy view of downtown Detroit or Windsor (depending on which side you're on).

    Beautiful place, but easy to get lost in. Also most stores and aren't open on the weekend, and the tour isn't offered on weekends either.

    Take the free one-hour tour. It is offered twice daily, Mon-Fri at 12:00 Noon and 2:00 pm. Starts at the Pure Detroit store located in Tower 400 on Level 1 Read more

    HUGE and easy to get lost in. Also 1 of the places to sport Detroit's population decline: it was clearly built for far more traffic than it gets

    With over 70 stores and restaurants, a hotel, a 4-screen movie theater, and 5 million square feet of floor space, the Renaissance Center is so large it has its own zip code!

    Welcome to the 2011 AAJA convention hotel! You don't have to leave if you want caffeine (Coffee Beanery, Starbucks) or a quick bite (Potbelly). Be sure to check out the riverfront views of Canada! Read more

    Service in Volt Lounge was snail-like at lunch. But at least they had several veg options. Room is small-ish but awesome view (albeit a bit scary if you don't love heights). But bed seems comfy.

    The RenCen, built in the mid 1970s, is home to General Motors, Deloitte and Blue Cross-Blue Shield of Michigan. Also has a shopping area and food court.

    Be sure to take the tour. Sign up is on the first floor and the times are 12pm and 2pm. It's a little boring but they take you to the top of the building!

    If you're looking for bathrooms, go to the lower level foodcourt - it's sort of winding around the corner if you go right from the escalators.

    Its like a mini city inside a city. Enjoy the restaurants, movie theatre, and the Marriott. Marriott has the most comfortable beds ever.

    Get ready to feel like you're walking inside an MC Escher drawing. If you like walking in circles, this is the place for you!

    Whoever designed this place is retarded. there are too many different elevators in too many different parts of the building. I took 3 different elevators to get to my hotel room.

    Opened in March of 1977, the Renaissance Center is the tallest building in the state of Michigan.

    Pick Andiamo's over Joe Muer's for fine dining. You get better service and the view is the same.

    Might be the worst architectural design ever. The only way to get to anywhere is to walk around in circles. Loooong circles. At least 3 of them. Bad job, John C. Portman!
