Stepping into the hotel's entrance foyer, the first thing that catches your eye is the enormous, glittering chandelier hanging above. Even after decades since the hotel's closure, the chandelier remains mostly intact, an extraordinary sight.
Built in the 1950s, Hotel Metalurgi was once a lively resort that accommodated visitors seeking treatment and relaxation. However, after the fall of the Soviet Union in the 1990s, the visitors stopped coming, and the hotel was closed.
The interior of the building, despite sitting empty for over two decades, appeared frozen in time. The lofty ceilings and intricate moldings exuded an air of opulence and grandeur, preserving a glimpse into a bygone era of lavish hospitality.
