The Royal Dearborn Hotel & Convention Center is a major conference center hotel located in the Metro Detroit suburb of Dearborn, Michigan at 600 Town Center Drive, near the intersection of M-39 and U.S. Highway 12. The building, constructed in 1976 as the Hyatt Regency Dearborn, rises 14 stories and contains 773 rooms.^[1] Originally built as an upscale hotel the building originally included a people mover to Fairlane Mall. The monorail, hotel, and mall were supposed to be part of a larger office, retail, and residential complex built by Ford's land development subsidiary. The people mover was a Ford Motor Company prototype for an Automatically Controlled Transportation System and was removed in the late 1980s.

The high-rise hotel contains a conference center, restaurants, retail area, and fitness center. The architect, Charles Luckman, designed the hotel in a contemporary Modern style with glass as the main exterior material. The hotel is adjacent to Fairlane Town Center shopping mall, near Ford World Headquarters, and The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village.

The hotel was renamed adoba® ecotel Dearborn on November 1, 2012, then renamed Royal Dearborn Hotel and Convention Center in 2015. ^[2][3]
