Here's to another 100 Years 🎉
Raise a glass to 100 years of Book Tower with the Centennial Celebration, a specialty cocktail now available at Bar Rotunda through the end of the month. 🥂
This gin-based cocktail blends strawberry amaro, egg white, vanilla and fresh lemon juice for a light, celebratory sip. It’s finished with a delicate dusting of dehydrated strawberry powder. A fitting toast to a century of Book Tower!

A defining presence in Detroit’s skyline, the historic Book Tower has been honored with a 2026 AIA New York State Design Award.
Originally completed in 1926, the 38-story Italian Renaissance landmark was carefully restored through a preservation-first approach that balances historic integrity with modern performance. The work included 2,483 historically accurate window replacements, full restoration of the ornamental crown and caryatid figures, and a precise reconstruction of the 6,000-piece stained glass domed skylight within the three-story atrium.
Today, Book Tower supports residential, hospitality and retail uses that bring renewed energy to Washington Boulevard. This recognition reflects Bedrock’s focus on preserving Detroit’s historic legacy while creating places that advance the city's evolution.
Book Tower residents rang in the new year together during the Pop, Fizz, Clink gathering at Bar Rotunda for champagne toasts, laughter and great conversation. 🥂 The evening was a celebration of fresh beginnings and the close-knit community that makes Book Tower feel like home.
