Cecil Hotel | Episode 29 | Simply Strange

The Cecil Hotel was opened in 1927 by hotelier William Banks
Hanner. Hanner envisioned the hotel as a West Coast getaway for the
aristocratic elite. However, his plan was never quite given the
opportunity to come to fruition. Soon after the Cecil Hotel opened
it's doors, The Great Depression struck and the Cecil's halls began
to fill with vagrants, addicts, and worse. Before long, the Cecil
Hotel began to be known not for it's socially elite clientele, but
instead for the seemingly endless stream of tragedies that began to
occur there. This is the story of the Cecil Hotel   Support:
