The Abandoned Hotel, Aberdeen, April 2012

[Stussy]

Been eyeing up this hotel for a few weeks, it has been boarded up for a few months unfortunately copper thieves did get in and started stripping the place but were caught luckily. This explore was completed with JFRSteve and 2 non members.

The hotel dates from 1600 with several extensions and additions. The hotel is currently going through planning consents to convert it into flats and building numerous houses on the grounds.

Although the hotel is not really in a state of dereliction or decaying I thought I would still share. The place still has loads of contents and the bedrooms are all still fully furnished etc.

I have no external shots as I think it should remain protected for the meantime but locals of the area may know of its location.

It's only been closed for a matter of months, there was a massive hotel chain that took a Swan dive (pun intended) a couple years back. This hotel was bought fairly cheaply by a consortium in Aberdeen and it was doing very well, so it was put up for sale at 2m, didn't sell so the conversion applications went in.

As jfrsteve said, the photos are all from the main areas, the bedrooms were all very similar and not very photogenic to be honest, might get more if I return soon.
