The Cecil Hotel located in Downtown Los Angeles has a long and spooky history of suicides, murder, and mysterious deaths. In 2011, the hotel was renamed to the Stay on Main. But no amount of rebranding will ever erase the building’s sordid past. Back in 1924, hotelier William Banks Hanner commissioned the construction of the Cecil Hotel. He envisioned a lavish, 600-room building with stained-glass windows, alabaster statues, and a gleaming marble lobby. Hanner hoped the hotel’s luxe design and accoutrements would attract tourists and businessmen alike. In 1927, the Cecil opened its doors with 700 rooms decorated in art deco style intended to attract and entertain businessmen, and it soon became a hot spot in downtown L.A.
