Where can I store luggage in Detroit?

Detroit is having a moment and it's been building for years. The city that gave the world Motown, the auto industry and Coney dogs has come back swinging. Downtown is buzzing again, Corktown is full of great restaurants, and the Riverwalk along the Detroit River is one of the nicest urban waterfronts in the Midwest. The DIA has a Diego Rivera mural that's worth the trip on its own.

A lot of visitors come through for Lions and Tigers games, concerts at Little Caesars Arena, conventions at the Huntington Place or just to see the comeback in person. Windsor, Ontario is right across the river if you fancy a quick trip to Canada. Whatever brings you here, dragging luggage through the city is a waste of your time.

BagsAway has luggage storage locations across Detroit inside vetted local businesses. Book online, drop your bags, go see the city. Takes about 30 seconds and every bag is insured up to $1,200.

BagsAway: Luggage Storage Across Detroit

BagsAway works like Airbnb for your bags. We partner with local shops, cafes, hotels and businesses in Detroit that have safe space to store your luggage. Each location is vetted, bags get sealed and tagged, and everything is insured up to $1,200. No lockers, no coins, no drama.

Detroit is a big city and the places worth visiting are spread out. You might start downtown, head to Corktown for brunch, swing by the Heidelberg Project in the east side, then catch a game at Comerica Park. That's a lot of ground to cover and none of it is fun with a suitcase in tow.

Where to find luggage storage in Detroit

Our BagDrop network covers the areas visitors actually spend time in:

Downtown Detroit

Downtown is the core. Campus Martius Park, the Guardian Building, the Renaissance Center and most of the big hotels are here. It's walkable and there's the People Mover if your legs need a break. The Riverwalk starts here and runs east along the Detroit River with great views of Windsor across the water. BagDrop locations downtown mean you can dump your stuff and start walking.

Corktown

Corktown is Detroit's oldest neighbourhood and it's become the food and drink destination in the city. Michigan Avenue is the main strip with spots like Slows Bar BQ, Mudgie's Deli and a bunch of craft breweries. The old Michigan Central Station has been restored by Ford and is worth seeing even from the outside. If you're spending the afternoon here, bags are the last thing you want.

Midtown and the Cultural Center

Midtown is where you'll find the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, the Detroit Historical Museum and Wayne State University. The DIA alone could take half a day. It's a walkable neighbourhood with cafes and shops along Woodward Avenue. Drop your bags before you spend the afternoon with Diego Rivera's murals.

Comerica Park and the Sports District

Comerica Park (Tigers), Ford Field (Lions) and Little Caesars Arena (Red Wings, Pistons, concerts) are all within a few blocks of each other just north of downtown. On game days and concert nights this area gets packed. A BagDrop nearby lets you enjoy the event without worrying about where to put your stuff.

Eastern Market

Eastern Market is one of the oldest and largest public markets in the country. Saturday is the big day when the sheds fill up with produce, meat, flowers and baked goods. The surrounding streets are covered in murals and there are plenty of restaurants and bars in the area. It's busy, it's fun, and it's much better without bags.

Greektown

Greektown is a compact entertainment district with restaurants, bars and a casino. It's right downtown and is an easy walk from the Convention Center and the sports venues. If you're looking for a meal and some nightlife, this is a solid spot. Leave your bags first.

Other luggage storage options in Detroit

Here's what else you'll find, so you can decide what works best.

Detroit Metro Airport (DTW)

DTW is a major airport but it doesn't have a public luggage storage service. If you've got a long layover and want to head into the city, BagsAway BagDrop locations downtown are your best option. The airport is about 25 minutes from downtown by car.

Amtrak station

Detroit's Amtrak station is in the New Center area. There are no luggage lockers or storage services at the station. If you're arriving by train and want to explore before settling in, a BagDrop nearby is your move.

Hotel storage

Downtown hotels will generally hold bags for guests before check-in or after check-out. Some might help non-guests too but it depends on the hotel and how busy they are. You're stuck going back to that hotel for pick-up, which might not work if your plans take you elsewhere.
