The
famed hotelier E.M. Statler saw great promise in Detroit
when he selected the city as the site for the third
of his "complete hotels". When it opened in
February 1915 it was clear that Statler's genius, Detroit's
prosperity, and the artistic ability of its designers
had created one of the great marvels of hotel architecture.
