The Sheraton Detroit Riverside Hotel (formerly "Hotel Pontchartrain") is a high-rise hotel in downtown Detroit, Michigan, across the street from Cobo Center and from 150 West Jefferson, as well as neighbouring Hotel Fort Shelby to the south. It stands on the site of the former Fort Pontchartrain. The building was constructed in 1965 to a height of 25 floors (75 metres, or 245 feet). It contains 367 rooms, and is used as a hotel, restaurant, and fitness center. The Pontchartrain was designed in the modern architectural style employing angular bay windows in its design which provide enhanced views of the riverfront.
