Lincoln Hotel

The Lincoln Hotel, also known as the Bessonneau Building, is one of Casablanca's most famous and architecturally significant landmarks. Designed by architect Hubert Bride and completed around 1917, it is an early, monumental Art Deco/Neo-Moorish structure located in the city center. The building fell into disrepair for decades but has been subject to a major renovation and restoration project aiming to return it to its former glory. It was declared a National Material Patrimony site in 2000, ensuring its preservation as a key piece of the city's architectural identity.
