The Leland Hotel was built by Detroit-based Continental-Leland Corporation. It was remodeled in 1963 and became the Leland Motor Inn. In 1986, the Radisson Hotel purchased the property and spent $5.5 million in renovations. It closed in 1990. In 2001, the Leland was redesigned as apartments for Senior Citizens, in the heart of downtown. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
