Ghost hotel

This 5 storey hotel must have some story to tell.

What is its history? Who owns it? Who runs it? Is it active? Is it being maintained and who is involved in its upkeep? And why?

It’s looking pretty derelict these days, shrouded behind dirty window panes and a shuttered facade.

There are a number of key locks hanging by the front door. They are presumably there to give access to entry, but in numerous passings I have never encountered anyone using them. Noone has gone in or out.

Is it an investment property waiting patiently for a deal to come to fruition? Did its owners withdraw from the real estate market? Did they tire of the hospitality business?

There are mysterious listings taking reservations but a Yelp warning that “yelpers report this location is closed.” You can book a room through Trip Advisor from $167 although the room reviews would not encourage you to do so. At any price.
