Because Of Dark Secrets, These Hotels Were Abandoned For Several Decades
4. Grossinger's Catskill Resort Hotel, New York, USA: Borscht Belt Beauty in Ruins
A legendary name from the golden age of the Catskills resorts, Grossinger's in Liberty, New York, was once a sprawling 1,200-acre playground that inspired the film "Dirty Dancing." From the 1920s to its decline in the 1980s, it hosted hundreds of thousands of guests, including celebrities, offering skiing, golfing, and grand entertainment. Changing vacation tastes and economic factors led to its closure in 1986. For decades, its once-glamorous buildings, including the iconic indoor pool and ballroom, have been slowly succumbing to nature and vandalism, a powerful symbol of a bygone era's charm left to picturesque decay.
