The Bonstelle Theatre is an events space and former synagogue located in the Midtown Woodward Historic District of Detroit, Michigan. It was built in 1902 as the Temple Beth-El, a synagogue serving the eponymous reform Jewish congregation, by Albert Kahn. After the construction of a new synagogue in 1922, the building became a theater, which was eventually sold to Wayne State University, which occupied it until 2020. After a thorough renovation, the building was converted to an multi-use event space attached to a new AC Hotel in 2025. The building, as Temple Beth-El, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
