Books Cadillac Hotel
When this huge, 23-story hotel opened in 1924, it was the grandest hotel in the United States. The
interiors received lavish touches, with monumental Corinthian columns, rich woods and murals, gold
and bronze fixtures, colored crystal chandeliers and imported brocades. 50,000 pieces of sterling made
up the silverware. The top floor housed a radio station (bleeding edge technology at the time) and the
basement levels offered full laundry services. Presidents and royalty stayed in its suites, and
world-famous musicians performed in its grand ballrooms.
As Detroit fell on hard times, business for the hotel declined and eventually forced it into bankruptcy.
The Sheraton corporation bought it in 1951 and remodeled the interior into what could be described
as a “ketchup and mustard” horror. The hotel closed briefly in the mid 1960s and failed to turn a profit
until it was again sold and reopened from 1975 to 1984. Eventually, even infusions of city money
weren’t able to keep the hotel afloat. Tonight it sits as a dark giant on the edge of Grand Circus Park?,
a sad testament to Detroit’s bygone glory.
Right. So. This place is lovely.
I guess it used to be quite the place but now is an abandoned building downtown. On one of the
uppermost floors, there is a ballroom with a balcony (good for hiding) and a portal (good for nothing).
By this time, we've used the portal a good many times. Marcellus and Jenny Morgan tried to use it in
some bizarre ritual which involved an operation and a cat.
We've opened with Jenny's blood and let out black tendrils which Manfred swiftly burned.
We've also gone through it to another dimension of desert and fire, presumably the same prison
Achadremenos has been in this whole time, and freed Irving.
