The Cambodian one was in Matt Dillon’s “City of Ghosts” as well.

I just stayed at the pop Century Resort and didn’t even know there was an extra abandoned building. Cool!
I was hoping there would be an article on another Orlando resort that was abandoned near Kissimmee. We drove past on the way to Disney one day and our tour guide said that it was a resort aimed at Chinese tourists. It’s a fully complete hotel that looks like it was transported to the middle of Florida from turn of the century China. He said it opened to horrible reviews because the owners had mistakenly used a color or symbol that was seen as bad luck, so no one wanted to stay there after a while and it was too expensive to fix.
It’s so eerie to see… Temples and gardens completely overgrown with bamboo and pine trees right in central Florida. I wish I knew more about it, or at least could find out more on the net…

Hmm… Guess it wasn’t a hotel resort after all like our taxi driver said… Funny how fast those places can turn into twisted urban legends. Thanks again MC!

There is something so intriguing and mysterious and beautiful about abandoned and decaying old buildings. Asylums, Hotels, Hospitals. I would love to explore and photograph these.

Does this look like Stephan Kings Overlook Hotel in The Shining to anyone else?

I was looking so hard for ghosts in the clip that when I saw actual living people I was briefly convinced they were ghosts!!

Overlooking Barcelona, there’s still some ruins of what was one of the most impressive resorts of the XXth century. The casino of La Rabassada had an amusement park and even a room where people could commit suicide discreetly after losing fortunes. It closed in 1930, but some of the structures -including a couple of tunnels of the old rollercoaster- still remain. However, most people around here haven’t even heard about it. You can read more about the place(in Spanish) and see some pictures (old and new) here:
