Grand Hotel Cirta or Hotel Cirta is a hotel in Constantine, Algeria, located in a white colonial building at 1 Avenue Rahmani Achour, on the edge of Place des Martyrs.[1][2][3] The hotel is the property of the Societe de l'Hotel Cirta, owned by Mohand Tiar, an Algerian businessman and philanthropist.

Architecture

The hotel has 76 rooms, including 30 double rooms, 33 single rooms, 1 triple room and 4 suites and 1 apartment room.[4] Lonely Planet describes it as a "grand old hotel" and "another remnant of the colonial era".[3] In 1972 one publication said of the hotel, "The grandeur of its mosque-like domed lobby, with its light blue tiles and hanging brass lanterns, may be fading somewhat in these post-colonial days of the Peoples' Democratic Republic of Algeria."[5] The hotel contains a cinema.[6]
