A LUXURY seaside hotel left abandoned years ago has gone on sale for \u00a38 million, but the once-impressive resort needs a lot of work.<\/p>\n
The hotel boasts hundreds of rooms, tennis courts, bars and a nightclub – but after 14 years of neglect it has fallen into disrepair.<\/p>\n

Hotel Itapirub\u00e1, on the coast in Laguna, Brazil, is set to go up for auction in weeks at \u00a38 million.<\/p>\n
But the new owner will need to pour serious money and time into the once impressive building.<\/p>\n
Spread over 60 thousand square metres on the idyllic coast, the hotel was opened in 1978 but closed for good in 2009 after issues management issues.<\/p>\n
Haunting pictures show the 200 hollowed out rooms where guests once slept, and the empty swimming pool in the grounds.<\/p>\n
Other buildings and hotels only metres away offer a glimpse into the once idyllic seaside scenery Itapirub\u00e1 had been a part of.<\/p>\n Guests who stayed there enjoyed the luxury facilities, which included tennis courts and game rooms, as well as more practical modcoms like offices, meeting rooms and a garage.<\/p>\n Brighter images from years ago show the hotel in its heyday, with sparking white walls and tall palm trees lining the many swimming pools enjoyed by guests.<\/p>\n Around 50 miles from the capital of Santa Catarina, Florianopolis, the area is famous for its beautiful beaches.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n And the thousands of metres of hotel real estate left unused by the neglected hotel could now be transformed into something new – or demolished entirely.<\/p>\n It's not the only tourist resort left neglected around the globe.<\/p>\n In Tenerife, a 22-storey hotel, also on the beachfront, has sat empty for 50 years. <\/p>\n Haunting photographs show the inside of the mammoth resort – which was supposed to house 741 individual apartments.<\/p>\n And in North Korea, the enormous Ryugyong\u00a0Hotel has dominated the Pyongyang skyline for decades – despite hosting no guests.<\/p>\n The \u00a31.6billion triangular hotel has never hosted a single guest, and has been dubbed the "Hotel of Doom".<\/p>\n<\/picture>ROYAL RUIN <\/span><\/p>\n
