The General Custer Hotel in downtown Billings—later renamed “The Grand” after its 1945 transition—was a seven‑story centerpiece of mid-century city life . Tucked beneath its lobby, the Saber (sometimes “Sabre”) Room was the place to be. Locals fondly recall a cozy bar and lounge where a pianist named Wil-lie entertained guests in the ’60s . While much of its history survives in vintage matchbook covers and dusty postcards, that intimate lounge atmosphere made it a downtown favorite—where sto-ries were shared, drinks flowed, and the pulse of Billings’ social scene beat strong.Today the building carries echoes of that era—if you look closely, you can almost picture the glow of the Saber Room’s sign after dark and hear Willie’s piano alongside quiet laughter.This design features the original logo of the historic Custer Hotel in Billings, Montana, a land-mark that reflected the design language of its era.
