The Ashley was once known as Detroit's historic Milner Hotel built in 1915. 100 years later in 2015, The Ashley was lovingly transformed into thoughtfully designed one- and two-bedroom apartment homes in the center of downtown Detroit. As you step inside your home, you will enjoy 9-Foot ceilings, ample storage space, faux hardwood floors, plush carpeting, a microwave, dishwasher, blinds, and large kitchens with shaker cabinets. Our community offers keyless entry, 24-Hour emergency maintenance, elevators, package receiving, and convenient access to dry cleaning services.
Location is the key component to The Ashley, where top Detroit highlights; such as the Detroit Athletic Club, Ford Field, Comerica Park, Fox Theater, Detroit Opera House, numerous restaurants, shops and The Detroit People Mover, are all within walking distance. The Ashley is also closely positioned near the Detroit Air Xpress bus, which provides easy, affordable, and dependable transportation to the Metro Detroit Airport for downtown residents.
