Zalman’s Deli — Bloomfield Hills, MI

There’s a lot we like about the interior design of Zalman’s on Woodward. This cozy diner outside of Detroit, Michigan incorporates reclaimed “Medium Pink” thin brick into its retro style.

Located on the ground floor of Double Tree Hotel, the eatery pays homage to an old-school deli that once occupied the same space. Dating back to 1958, the hotel — then called The Kingsley Inn — was built to cater to fashionable suburbanites flocking to the Bloomfield Hills area at the time.

During the property’s 2018 remodeling, the designers sought to evoke the aesthetic of classic, midcentury modern counter-serve restaurants for this popular contemporary brunch spot. Sleek, Space Age style furnishings were paired with our vintage common brick, artful woodwork, and comfy booths for a look that perfectly blends the past and future of this historic building.
