Abandoned hotel, built in the year 1925

Today, we go inside the old and forgotten Muntenia Hotel. In the past, the hotel was called Paris Hotel. Although it is completely abandoned, the building is still listed on a few websites owned by tourism companies. They even claim to guarantee your comfort. I’m sure the broken windows and the dirty front face are not shown in their ads. 😊

Muntenia Hotel is located on Academiei Street no. 19-21, next to “Ion Mincu” University of Architecture in Bucharest. The construction of the building took place between 1925 and 1930. The hotel has 5 levels. It was marked “Not Safe” due to the lack of consolidation. It is considered an imminent danger in case of an earthquake.

After you jump the street fence, the only way in, is through a metallic door with a broken window. With a little effort, you can fit in.

The interior was promising. No homeless people, electricity was working, even the elevator was working (can you imagine?). It was quite stable. I guess they really did things better back then.

The structure of the building was not stable at all. At higher levels, you could feel your legs getting stuck on the floor.

This was the administration office, full of paper (a lot to recycle actually).

The encounter with this safe was totally unexpected. Unfortunately, there was nothing left inside, except for a few files.

This is a note from 1997 in which a malfunction in the sewerage network was being reported. They had to evacuate the tourists.

The hotel logo found in the security room.

These slot machines can be found in the basement. However, I doubt that there are still coins left inside them.

In the security room, the walls were decorated with calendars and beautiful women.

The image above concluded our journey inside Muntenia Hotel, once a popular place for tourists, now doomed for an eternity of emptiness. Thanks for reading!
