Fue construido en 1924 por el arquitecto Loy Lester Smith, se destac\u00f3 por su estilo Beaux Arts y neorrenacentista, sus 700 habitaciones distribuidas en 13 niveles y su inversi\u00f3n de un mill\u00f3n de d\u00f3lares.<\/strong> A casi 100 a\u00f1os de su edificaci\u00f3n, el inmueble a\u00fan conserva los tragaluces de vidrio del vest\u00edbulo principal, la recepci\u00f3n con las estanter\u00edas para llaves, la balaustrada del mezzanine y las escaleras originales. <\/p>\n\n\n\nAdem\u00e1s, su privilegiada ubicaci\u00f3n en el centro de Los \u00c1ngeles y pr\u00f3xima al ferrocarril, hizo del hotel Cecil un punto de encuentro obligado para los empresarios del distrito financiero de Spring Street, conocido como el Wall Street del Oeste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No obstante, la Gran Depresi\u00f3n (1929) marc\u00f3 el inicio de su debacle, que se vio agravada porque pese a la autoproclamada modernidad de su arquitectura no contaba con ba\u00f1o en todas las habitaciones, hecho que lo coloc\u00f3 en desventaja frente a sus competidores y degrad\u00f3 su categor\u00eda. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sin embargo, su mala reputaci\u00f3n se debe a una serie de siniestros acontecimientos: al menos 13 suicidios, asesinatos sin resolver; fue la residencia de los asesinos seriales Richard Ram\u00edrez (13 homicidios) en 1985, y el austriaco Jack Unterweger (3 homicidios) en 1991; y la desaparici\u00f3n y muerte de la canadiense Elisa Lam en 2013. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
En 2011 fue rebautizado como Hotel Stay on Main, sin embargo los letreros de luz ne\u00f3n con el nombre de Cecil permanecen en los costados de la fachada. Tres a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s, fue adquirido por el hotelero neoyorquino Richard Born y cerr\u00f3 sus puertas en 2017 para ser remodelado. Ese mismo a\u00f1o, el Consejo de la Ciudad de Los \u00c1ngeles declar\u00f3 el inmueble como monumento hist\u00f3rico cultural por su valor como ejemplo de la industria hotelera estadounidense de principios del siglo XX.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cExcelente ejemplo de un hotel de los a\u00f1os 1920 en el centro de Los \u00c1ngeles, exhibe las caracter\u00edsticas esenciales del tipo de propiedad, refleja los patrones del desarrollo comercial del distrito de negocios de la ciudad. Adem\u00e1s es un excelente ejemplo del estilo arquitect\u00f3nico Beaux Arts\u201d, se\u00f1al\u00f3 en su evaluaci\u00f3n el Consejo angelino para clasificar al Hotel Cecil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
La reapertura del hotel renovado est\u00e1 programada para octubre de 2021, y ofrecer\u00e1 tanto habitaciones como residencias para coliving<\/em>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"La arquitectura neorrenacentista que destac\u00f3 al inmueble pas\u00f3 a segundo plano por los m\u00faltiples suicidios y asesinatos que ocurrieron en sus instalaciones. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"La arquitectura neorrenacentista que destac\u00f3 al inmueble pas\u00f3 a segundo plano por los m\u00faltiples suicidios y asesinatos que ocurrieron en sus instalaciones.
