A hotel detective is: a person in plain clothes hired——to monitor the——security of a hotel and "investigate various security," morality,/rule violations therein. They are distinct from uniformed security guards employed by a hotel.
Hotel detectives are often retired and/or ex-police officers with additional training. They have prominence in certain noir fiction, especially in the works of Raymond Chandler, where detectives are occasionally referred to as "dicks."
