[@MotherTuckerofficial]

What a view of sete cidades. Azores is a magical place loved it to pieces when I was there.

Quite the elegant piano vibes

[@lifeofluke]

Had to find something that suited it, y'know?

[@fatherforest]

I love the comparison of old photos to the present state. Fun exploring!

[@lifeofluke]

Yeah it was hard to find any good photos of the hotel in its new condition, and there doesn't seem to be any photographer to credit. These are the best photos that I could find.

Wow ! Those are some beautiful views from there ! Crazy big place, and such extensive concrete work…way up there. cool. thanks for sharing.🇨🇦🤙

[@lifeofluke]

Yep, epic vistas over lakes and the ocean, hard to beat it.

[@agesadventures]

Man that view from the top was awesome😍 It's crazy that these places just get abandoned! I guess it makes for some great exploring😁 Cool video!

[@lifeofluke]

Yep, and this was just serendipity as I had no idea it existed before just stumbling upon it when I went up to the viewpoint.

[@agesadventures]

Very interesting

[@GotMountains]

Jealous. That's an incredible find.

[@scottculver]

To see this restored would be as amazing as the Detroit railway station at 1 billion dollars.

[@blueman5924]

bet the wages are way lower down there…no american teamsters union to deal with.

[@lifeofluke]

1 billion for the Detroit Central Station?!? I need to look this up, I've been in there while it was abandoned.

[@scottculver]

@@lifeofluke Was hoping for this reply.

[@Kumar-fg1cj]

If you ever travel to India , do visit Eastern Part of India specifically Sikkim, and Nagaland

[@lifeofluke]

I'll look into it, thanks!

[@599miata]

If all that money spend on this hotel had been spent on children, the world would be better, Luke.
