GIVEAWAY: Parent Staycation at ALOFT Hotel

Get away for the day (and night) at the Aloft Detroit at the David Whitney – enter to win a night stay at this newly renovated downtown hotel.
Whether it’s a family adventure or an overdue date night, it’s nice to get away from the house and have some overnight fun. The Aloft Detroit at The David Whitney is located across from Comerica Park and surrounded by downtown’s most popular attractions. The beautifully restored hundred year old building is the perfect home base for a weekend downtown. Enter to win a night stay below and start making plans for a staycation!
Hop on the People Mover StationÂ
The David Whitney Building is home to the Grand Circus Park People Mover station and you don’t want to miss seeing the city from above! Stop at Greektown for dinner (and dessert), explore the Renaissance Center and get off at Times Square stop to check out family fun at Beacon Park.
Stroll Down Woodward Avenue
Do some shopping, get a picture next to the Hudson’s site for a cool before and after picture (in a few years), and make your way to Campus Martius to go ice skating at The Rink or relax in Cadillac Lodge.
Ride the QLine
The QLine stops in front of the hotel and you can take it for a ride straight to the Cultural Center in Midtown. Visit the Michigan Science Center, Detroit Institute of Arts, the Historical Museum and more!
Plan a Evening in District Detroit
Get tickets to a game or a show and avoid all of the traffic because The Fox Theatre, Fillmore and Little Caesars Arena are only steps away. Find a show for the family to enjoy – Sesame Street, Pinkalious, and Paw Patrol are coming to town in 2019 – or root for the home team as the Pistons and Red Wings fight for a spot in the play-offs.
