The Milner Hotel, built in 1917, is one of the oldest downtown Detroit hotels still in operation. This can be seen in the Flatiron décor of the hotel's exterior, which was a popular style of architecture in the Midwest during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This classic hotel is within walking distance of theatrical shows at the Detroit Opera and Comerica Park, home of the Detroit Tigers baseball team. The Milner Hotel offers reasonable room rates in comparison to other downtown hotels. As of 2010, rates begin at $89 per night for a double-bed room.
