Ghost hotels in St. Petersburg
There are so many mysteries about St. Petersburg! How many places are surrounded by a halo of mystery! If you are tired of excursions to the well-known sights of the Northern capital, pay attention to those about which the guides do not write - for example, to ghost hotels.
The abandoned three-storey building of the Ghost Hotel on Bolshaya Nevka is located near the dome of the Peterland water park. The foundation of the debarcader plunged into the water, the windows are broken, and from the construction blows something otherworldly. However, it can be called a ghost not only for the atmosphere reigning here: with all your desire you will not find it on any map!
Construction work began in the 90s and was to be completed by the 1992 Goodwill Games. From the windows of the hotel you can see the Kirov stadium, where the competitions took place. According to the developers, the hotel was supposed to be the first floating hotel in the city, but this was not destined to happen.
It is not possible to find out why the construction stopped, and there is practically no information about this on the network. In the summer, it is quite difficult to approach the ghostly hotel, since it literally stands on the water. But in winter you can get closer to the ice and see it in detail.
The Northern Crown Hotel on the embankment of the Karpovka River is another ghost hotel in St. Petersburg. Construction of the hotel began in 1988, and the building was to become a luxury hotel with five restaurants, six bars, two cafes, a fitness center and a swimming pool. The hotel was almost ready when construction suddenly stopped in 1995. And, they say, it is not accidental – this event is associated with the curse that fell on the hotel, when in the same year Metropolitan John of St. Petersburg, who arrived here for a banquet, died of a heart attack.
The hotel has repeatedly changed owners, but was never completed. And although its interior is pretty shabby, it still creates a sense of luxury. A deserted quiet courtyard, a spacious atrium with glass elevators and a gazebo in the middle – everything around is covered with dust, and the atmosphere here is truly ghostly.
