50 Abandoned Hotels That Are Frozen in Time

3.Hachijo Royal Hotel – Japan

Once one of Japan’s largest luxury resorts, the Hachijo Royal Hotel opened in the 1960s on Hachijojima Island, designed as a tropical getaway for affluent travelers. Styled after French palaces, its golden days were short-lived as Japan’s economic boom led to more exotic travel destinations. The hotel was shuttered in the early 2000s, and since then, lush jungle vines have consumed its sprawling courtyards. The eerie, untouched interiors still house faded murals and furniture left behind, as if the guests simply vanished overnight.
