THE ABANDONED HOTEL, LANZOROTIE.

I thought id get my holiday urbex photo`s up, and this was a good find...this hotel was constructed in the 80s and worked stopped due to the planners getting it wrong....the rough sea did not make it a good place....and everyone chose to build a the nearby playa "Blanca" this place is accessed by a 4 mile dirt track and believe it or not someone actually lives here...........a breathtaking place !and they had even dug the pool out.

what the hell is that !

huge !

where do i check in...

anyone home ?? where are the stairs ?

a nice relaxing bath.....

ohhh very 80s

hope you all enjoyed that.....more to come soon !!

Good find and pics, Steve. That's a very strange place, indeed, in the middle of nowhere! Nice one.

Nice one Steve, what an unusuall place it looks like it fell from the sky in the first picture, I love the way it looks half built and half demolished

To tell you the truth this place really gave and gives me the creeps !!

It reminds me of some of the abandoned hotels in Northern Cyprus.

I can well understand that. Definitely a weird one!

The abandoned hotel
We follow a rough, winding track into the Rubicon desert, park when it gets too bad to drive any further, and walk towards a shell of a building on the horizon. The desert floor is spongy underfoot and littered with rocks, space plants, desert shrubs. The building looks two-dimensional from a distance but up close we see that it is an abandoned hotel complex, half built. We can see how the capsule-like rooms would have looked, there is a pile of never-plumbed-in bathtubs disintegrating outside. It’s astonishing, like a little piece of Detroit transplanted onto a volcanic island. More astonishing is the fact that some of the rooms have been colonised by people and turned into a kind of shanty town. There are green doors, windows, and inside I see a table, neatly set with a bowl and an oilcloth, a home. Poor people live here, how can it be?

The hotel overlooks a rocky coast. The rocks nearby have been worn away by the sea and they look like dinosaur bones or the foundations of a building. We perch and watch the waves crash, ultramarine and pure foaming white, huge and awesome.
