The hotel that can be seen on the top of the cliff to the right, Tequendama, was recently voted as one of the Top 5 Ghost hotels in the world by hotels.com. The other four are Chelsea Hotel (New York), Queen Mary Hotel (California), Gran Bolívar Hotel (Peru), Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel (California).
As can be observed, the Tequendama Hotel is situated by the 157 meter Tequendama waterfall, a mere hour outside of Bogotá. After the hotel was inaugurated in 1928, it tragically became a favourite spot for many Colombians to end their lives by throwing themselves into the abyss. The guests staying at the Tequendama eventually started meeting these restless souls at night in their hotel rooms; whispering in their ears, pulling their hair. Some even reported waking up with scratches in their faces.
So the hotel eventually was closed down, and still is. It now definetely even looks as a ghost hotel, something that the Golden Colombia team could witness at our visit to the Tequendama falls last month:

NIce story! I bet there is something true in it. I like thematic hotels in which you can experience something different apart from the mere stay. There is a hotel in buenos aires in which famous writers and artists stayed and now you can see the marks they left!
