Hotel detective

Detective that works for a hotel

For the song and EP by They Might Be Giants, see (She Was A) Hotel Detective.

Not to be confused with Hotel Inspector (disambiguation).

A hotel detective is a person in plain clothes hired to monitor the security of a hotel and investigate various security, morality, or rule violations therein.[1] They are distinct from uniformed security guards employed by a hotel.

Hotel detectives are often retired and/or ex-police officers with additional training.[citation needed] They have prominence in certain noir fiction, especially in the works of Raymond Chandler, where detectives are occasionally referred to as "dicks."[2]
