Manger Hotels
Manger Hotels (later Manger Hotels & Motor Inns) was a major 20th-century national chain of luxury hotels, full service motor inns, and upscale motels. Originally founded in 1907 as a chain of luxury hotels by Julius and William Manger, the company shifted to extensive development of large strategically located motor inns and motels in the 1960s.
William and Julius Manger were born in Boonville, Missouri. William graduated from Valparaiso University and Julius graduated from Tulane University Law School. The brothers' first business was the International Coffee Company, which imported and sold coffee. The pair then entered the construction business, building homes in Galveston, Texas, and New York City. They eventually moved on to commercial projects, including the Builders' Exchange Building in Manhattan.
The Mangers entered the hotel business in 1907 when they traded the Builders' Exchange Building for the Plaza Hotel in Chicago. The pair then expanded their hotel operations to New York City, where they took over management of the Grand, Great Northern and Navarre hotels.
