The Berengaria Hotel was built in 1931, at Prodromos, high in the mountains of Cyprus. The Berengaria Hotel was so glamorous that it was called the “Hotel of the Kings”. It was the first hotel in the region and played an important role in attracting high-end tourism to the mountains.
It was owned by a Mr Kokkalos, who had three sons. When he died, the sons inherited equal shares in the family fortune, including the hotel. But they soon began to fight and the hotel went bankrupt, closing in 1984. Within three years, each of the sons subsequently died in mysterious circumstances, fuelling stories that the old man had cursed them should they fail to preserve his legacy. Legend has it that their ghosts now haunt the derelict hotel.
