Remarks:
Opened in 1884, the�West Hotel�was�Minneapolis's first grand hotel. It had 407 luxuriously furnished rooms, 140 baths, and featured an immense and opulent�lobby�which was claimed to be the largest in the nation. These elements combined to make what was considered for a time to be the most luxurious hotel west of�Chicago. In 1906 a large fire burned though the hotel killing 10 people. That and a general business downturn caused the West to go through a period of decline and finally in 1940 the West Hotel was demolished.
