1926 The foundation of the Carlton
Founded in 1926 by Marcel Jomeau, the Carlton Hotel has become a symbol of elegance in Tunis. Ideally located on Avenue Jules Ferry, now known as Avenue Habib Bourguiba, one of the city's most prominent streets, the hotel embodies luxury and sophistication.
During the French protectorate, this avenue was already a key district in Tunis, and it continues to be a central hub in the city today. Marcel Jomeau, a visionary entrepreneur, initially considered selling the hotel, as indicated by an advertisement in the Gazette d'Alger. However, he chose to retain the Carlton, which quickly established itself as one of the most prestigious hotels in Tunis, attracting a distinguished clientele, including the renowned French actress Suzy Vernon.
Under Jomeau's leadership, the Carlton became a symbol of refinement and elegance, reflecting the luxury and charm of its time. Today, this historic hotel remains a cornerstone of Tunisian hospitality, continuing to uphold a legacy of elegance and exceptional service.
