Book Tower is a 38-story mixed-use building in downtown Detroit, Michigan, United States, within the Washington Boulevard Historic District. Designed by Louis Kamper in the Italian Renaissance style, it was constructed between 1925 and 1926, as an addition to the original Book Building. It was originally an office building, and was the tallest building in Detroit at the time of its completion. Following an extensive restoration completed in the 2020s, it now contains residential apartments and a hotel.
