The opening of the Carlton
The Carlton Hotel is a jewel of architecture with its listed Art Deco facade dating from 1926. As was customary at the time, the architect, Joseph Abita, inscribed the year of construction in the medallion of the facade.
A
rare photo taken from inside the hotel. You can feel the atmosphere of the
time.
In
the small press release published in the Echo d'Alger on August 18, 1926, you
can read the birth certificate of the Carlton Tunis. Still under construction,
it was offered for rent before even opening!
In
1926, its opening was announced in the "Gazette des touristes." Take
the time to read the details of the exceptional comfort that the Carlton hotel
offered for its time.
