The Hotel Statler in Boston opens as the first hotel in the world to offer radio service in its guest rooms. This same service is installed in the chain's other hotels, including Detroit. It is a two channel system with guest able to select the channel from a receiver and listen with either 2 headsets or radio loudspeaker. The cost of this installation in Boston was $50,000 and it cost another $750,000 to install radios in the chain's six older houses.
The Boston hotel is the last hotel E.M. will build. E.M.'s empire includes hotels in Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis, New York, Boston, and two in Buffalo.
