Investigation Discovery Channel’s new series Horror at the Cecil Hotel is showcasing one of Los Angeles most haunted buildings. The hotel has been the home of not only serial killers, but also the scene of some unsolved crime mysteries over the years.
The grand hotel first opened its doors in 1927. No expense had been spared and it was built as a destination for the socially elite and international business travelers. The marble lobby, the alabaster statuary, elegant palm trees, and detailed stained glass completed the Art Deco styling of the building. Then the depression came and changed the face of Los Angeles. The area around the Cecil Hotel became known as Skid Row, reducing the building to a home for junkies. prostitutes, and criminals.
