32 Grand Old Railway Hotels Left Vacant Along Forgotten Routes

14. The Old Station Hotel, Rhyl, Wales, UK: Seaside Resort's Faded Gateway

Directly adjacent to Rhyl's railway station, this once-bustling Victorian hotel (c. 1880s) was the epitome of arrival for holidaymakers flocking to the popular Welsh seaside resort by train. Its grand facade welcomed generations of families. However, as package holidays and car travel replaced rail excursions, the hotel's fortunes declined. It now stands visibly neglected and derelict, a prominent, decaying landmark that serves as a stark reminder of Rhyl's faded glory as a railway-dependent tourist destination.
