The Hotel Finlen was established by James Finlen, the son of Miles Finlen, an Irish immigrant who had opened the McDermitt Hotel in Butte in 1889.[2] The Hotel Finlen opened on January 1, 1924, and was architecturally inspired by the Astor Hotel in New York City.[3] It was completed on a budget of $750,000[2] (equivalent to $13,333,981 in 2023). The tallest tower on the building was finished in 1924, and construction on a second tower began in 1927, but went unfinished due to the stock market crash of 1929.[3]
In 2018, the hotel was acquired by a group of four investors led by J. J. Adams, a professor at Montana Tech, by the Taras family, who had owned the hotel for approximately 40 years.[3]
