Hotel Pontchartrain, Detroit, Michigan
01
Artifact Overview
The Hotel Pontchartrain opened in 1907 on Campus Martius in Detroit, Michigan. It boasted nearly 300 rooms -- more than half with private bathrooms -- and its bar became a popular place for automotive industry leaders to network. Despite a five-story addition in 1909, "the Pontch" was soon eclipsed by larger, more luxurious hotels. It closed in 1920 and was torn down.
