Grand Hotel Cirta or Hotel Cirta is a hotel in Constantine, Algeria, located in a white colonial building at 1 Ave Achour Rachmani, on the edge of Place des Martyrs.[1][2][3] 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]
