== A Brief Social History of The Hotel Cecil, ] by ] and ] ==
On the Boulevard d’Espagne (recently renamed Boulevard Mohamed VI), Tangier, a crumbling somewhat eclectic façade of hybrid classical and Moorish architectural styles is all that remains to be seen of the Hotel Cecil, once one of the truly great Hotels of North Africa. For several decades it was patronized by members of European Royal Families, aristocrats, diplomats, high ranking military and naval offices, colonial bishops, artists and writers. Its long lost guest register was a veritable Almanach de Gotha of the Royal and noble families of the Belle Epoch and a Who’s Who of the rich and famous (see Appendix One). The Cecil was, to Tangier, what the Hotel Danelli is to Venice, Shepherd’s Hotel to Cairo, or the Pera Palace to Constantinople, a byword for elegance, sophistication and discretion! Quite simply there was no better address for visitors to the White City to stay at.

Although the Continental Hotel, built in the 1865, claims to have been Tangier’s first the Cecil might, perhaps, with some justification, claim an at least equal precedence, for the newspaper report of its inauguration, printed in Al-Moghreb Al-Aksa on February 25, 1899, makes it clear that it had merely replaced an earlier building: “The inauguration of the Hotel Cecil, situated on the beach, took place on Saturday evening. The building which was formerly occupied by Senor Recio’s Universal Hotel has been thoroughly reconstructed and the newly fitted hotel is under the able management of Mr. John Sacone.” <ref>{{Cite journal|last=Al-Moghreb|first=Al-Aksa|year=1899|title=Al-Moghreb Al-Aksa, Saturday, February 25th, 1899|journal=The Journal Al-Moghreb Al-Aksa, 1883 - 1908|volume=|pages=|via=}}</ref>
