2018 - Mexico City - Hotel Geneve - 3 of 3

Another day of wandering the streets south of the Centro Historico.

 

The "Phone Bar" in Hotel Geneve.

 

The Bar showcases a collection of antique telephones in a retro Londonian atmosphere from the 1880s thru 1934 that gives this venue its name.

 

The Hotel Geneve opened its doors in 1907, during the regime of Porfirio Díaz.

 

It was surprising that the Hotel Geneve did not suffer any damage during the earthquakes of September 19 and 20, 1985, not even a broken window or a detached partition.

 

Among the hotel's most recognized guests were William Randolph Hearst, Sir Winston Churchill, Charles Lindbergh, Marlon Brando, Paul Newman, Jack Palance among many others.
