Good afternoon all,
As the title of this post suggests, this was a 5 minute recce of an incredible place I am DESPERATE to return to ASAP.
We've just returned from a 3 night holiday to Torquay, and having heard about this place, I nearly crashed in shock when we drove past it, completely by accident.
We literally only had 5 minutes to stop and look, sadly, so no internal shots (except through windows) and nothing particularly interesting, however, I know this place has been done before by others, and I am desperate to return.
The Palace Hotel was closed in 2017 as far as I know, when an overseas investment company bought the place and immediately closed it down with the hope of redeveloping it. Everything inside I believe has been sold off, however the epicly huge building remains. Just being near the place sent a shiver down my spine, as hopefully the pictures below will show.
I am looking to return here ASAP (not least because we also found TWO other abandoned hotels we wanna try too) plus this place, so;
If anyone is local, or can be in the area and fancies making up a little group of 4 or 5 of us to have a look around, please let me know. Preferably if anyone knows about possible access points to the building (the grounds are easy to get into) that would be ideal too. Like I say, we only stopped for 5 minutes and that wasn't even long enough to walk round the perimeter of the building!
Have a great week guys,
Looking forward to hearing from a few of you, fingers crossed!
