Walk on the unfinished hotel in St. Petersburg

"Northern Crown" began to build in 1988, the Yugoslav firm "Monteksgroeksport." It was supposed to build a hotel with "five stars" in the 247 rooms with a total area of ​​about 50 000 sq. m. Construction work stopped at the end of 1995, when the facility was ready for 90%. In 1991, the unfinished hotel was taken over by the mayor's office of St. Petersburg, and in 1992 became corporatized and owned by the bank "St. Petersburg". In 2004, he sold the unfinished "Eurofinance MOSNARBANK." The opening of the hotel under the name Le Meridien has been planned for 2008

... In St. Petersburg it is not so, as in Moscow and other cities: in St. Petersburg even the familiar term "unfinished 90" has a completely different look than the familiar and around Moscow concrete boxes

Demolish this hotel going for a long time - and in 2009, gathered in 2011, but still can not gather. So worth it moist, attracting foreign one roof unusual configuration, bright interiors, and mold on the "stucco" plasterboard.

Almost any abandoned building easier to get through the roof than to storm the locked doors and window grilles. In addition, in St. Petersburg in general everywhere is better to walk on the roof - it's faster and more comfortable, and the view is better.

Beautiful and very spacious, but there comes a time to go ...
It is a pity that such beauty eventually be demolished. It calms only that the historical value of the building is zero.
