The Tremont House Hotel is one of the City Hotspot locations found in The Loop and is a landmark within Chicago in Watch Dogs.
History[]
Built in 1833, the Tremont was designed to be one of the first luxurious hotels in Chicago, and was subsequently rebuilt 3 times. Abraham Lincoln stayed here. Criminal John Stone lingered around the 2nd floor hall off and on for a few years until he was arrested and convicted for rape in 1840. Stone has the dubious distinction of being the first man to be executed in the city of Chicago.
Trivia[]
- The hotel is probably based on the original Tremont House which was built in 1833, but the old building was demolished in 1937.
- Although the John Stone referred to in the in-game description was a real convicted criminal, several details were different. Stone was hired as a wood chopper and most likely did not live in the hotel. He was also convicted and hanged for the murder of Lucretia Thompson, rather than rape.
