Thomas Cook guide, 1908
“The Hotel St. Georges, at Mustapha Superieur, is in a very healthy situation, overlooking the Bay of Mustapha. The house is built in true Moorish style.”
Nineteen years after opening, the Saint-George was already on the circuit of the world’s first travel agent. The document is in the public domain.
