16 Abandoned & Decaying Hotels From Around The World


It’s a pity that marvelous old architecture is left to rot, often due to lack of funds for repairs. But there’s beauty to be found in the ruins, as you’ll see in this collection of abandoned hotels from all over. The stories these walls could tell! Pictured is the Bokor Palace Hotel and Casino in Cambodia. Link -Thanks, Andy!

Overlooking Barcelona, there's still some ruins of what was one of the most impressive resorts of the XXth century. The casino of La Rabassada had an amusement park and even a room where people could commit suicide discreetly after losing fortunes. It closed in 1930, but some of the structures -including a couple of tunnels of the old rollercoaster- still remain. However, most people around here haven't even heard about it. You can read more about the place(in Spanish) and see some pictures (old and new) here:

"Bokor Palace Hotel and Casino, Cambodia"
Does this look like Stephan Kings Overlook Hotel in The Shining to anyone else?

"Hotel Fife, Scotland"

I was looking so hard for ghosts in the clip that when I saw actual living people I was briefly convinced they were ghosts!!

There is something so intriguing and mysterious and beautiful about abandoned and decaying old buildings. Asylums, Hotels, Hospitals. I would love to explore and photograph these.

Hmm... Guess it wasn't a hotel resort after all like our taxi driver said... Funny how fast those places can turn into twisted urban legends. Thanks again MC!

THANK YOU Miss Cellania!!!

It's been bugging me for the last month! I'm forwarding the link to my dad, too. He's gonna be wicked excited to read about it :)

It seems just as likely to me that some entries on this list should instead be on "ten most bloodthirsty soldiers of all time"; or maybe "ten soldiers driven most obviously insane by the horrors of war".

Reader's choice. We are unlikely to actually know, after all.

Wow. This is neat.
Can the next list be 'Who took the longest to die.' or some such.

Sometimes I just couldn't be bothered to sign in for these.

Now, being ambushed and driving your Humvee directly at the enemy's entrenched position, after which you leap into the trench, shoot terrorists until you run out of bullets for your Marine-issue guns, then take two AK-47s and kill some more terrorists, and then you find a rocket-propelled grenade and blow the hell out of even more terrorists?

Yeah, the Iraqi invaders sure proved themselves to be total terrorists when they fought the brave US soldiers that were defending their homeland.

No we humans defintely are not violent. We are peaceful beings.

This is best illustrated by our glorification of our fiercest bloodiest fighters.....

Wheeeee real Neat these killers!

Hey Jill, tell my dad who fought in WWII that it's ancient history. These stories depict men who did what needed to be done at the time. Whether the conflict was right or wrong these soldiers were in a kill or be killed situation and they stepped up to save the lives of their fellow soldiers. War isn't pretty or neat but once the conflict is happening a soldier better do everything in their power to inflict casualties on the enemy because that is definitely what the enemy is trying to do.

@D Bozko

Probably the first time I actually agree with you. They were defiantly strict times for everyone not in control of the situation. My grandfather on my mother's side fought for the side of Hungary, because if he didn't, he was shot and killed as a traitor. A more interesting story with my dad's side is his father trained as a pilot for Germany in WWI, and fought against Germany for Canada as a pilot in WWII.
