The Bibliothèque nationale de France holds, within the Société de Géographie collection, an album of forty views of Oran. Plate 140 carries the printed caption “La Poste et la Place de la Bastille”. It shows the garden square, its palms and its basin, the main post office beyond — and, along the entire left edge of the frame, the façade of the Grand Hôtel.
It is the same square. It changed name in 1962; the hotel has kept the same address.
On the left, the entrance in the 1920s: a fan-shaped canopy of iron and glass, spreading far over the pavement. On the right, the same archway today. The present canopy is a different structure, smaller and flatter — but the round arch, its voussoirs and its line are those of 1920.
These four names are carried by Oran’s collective memory and repeated by the local press. To this day, none of these stays is dated by a consultable document. We publish them as such, and we are looking for the dates.
Six categories across five floors. All look onto the square or onto the streets of the centre.
The entry category of the house. Original volumes, original ceiling height, a tall window onto the streets of the centre. Queen-size bed, private bathroom, individual air conditioning.
Same volumes as the Classic, with higher finishes and a walk-in shower. Open view over the city.
Two rooms joined by an interior door: each keeps its own key and bathroom. The hotel has five.
Open to residents and to the people of Oran alike: the restaurant carries the name the square bore for a century.
Three rooms, on the lower level of the house.
The hotel occupies the corner of place du Maghreb, opposite the main post office. Historic Oran begins on the pavement outside.
