Abandoned places explored: Art Deco architecture hotel deserted on the Isle of Wight (Haunted). Built in the 1930s this seaside hotel is one of the few remaining Art Deco buildings on the Isle of Wight. Date of Visit: 01-04-2016 this place is massive and sprawled out over three floors, it took several hours to explore, under the cover of darkness. Fortunately, the majority of the hotel has been largely untouched and has remained undisturbed for quite some time with many of the original features remaining. Sadly, the easy to access part of the hotel has been largely damaged, destroyed and vandalised. For this reason, under no circumstance will the location or point of entry to the main part of the hotel be given. Planning permission was previously refused to re-develop in 2013 however, sadly planning permission was re-submitted and granted to demolish this site in October 2014, so it may not be around for much longer. The basement of the hotel housed the Control Centre for the whole PLUTO (PipeLine Under The Ocean) operation on the Isle of Wight. Operation Pluto (Pipe-Lines Under The Ocean) was a Second World War operation by British engineers, oil companies and armed forces to construct undersea oil pipelines under the English Channel between England and France in support of Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy in June 1944. Shot handheld with a Sony a7s using vanilla Picture Profile 6 (PP6). Would have preferred to shoot Slog 2 (PP7) however the High ISO noise was too much. Lens used: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS SAMYANG 8 mm f/3.5 UMC Single LED camera mounted light used. (or more correctly gaffer taped to the camera cage). Edited in Adobe Premier Pro CC 2015 Graded with Kinolut Neat Video plugin used to clean up some of the High ISO noise. Music created with MicroKorg XL and FL Studio 10 Plugins used FM8 and Absynth 5.

1. I stayed in this hotel for 2 weeks about 18 years ago :P
2. very well filmed, like
3. I love the sound effect it's creepy
4. What a waste of a good building
5. its still there, doesnt look nice from outside,
6. Don't they havr a security presence there, as there is always someone's van parked there leading me to think it is occupied in some way . All that deco ought to be preserved , demolition would be a travesty , and for what?Mmore bland yuppie rotastack hives? I despair.
7. Nick, did you seek permission from Bestival to use their trademark when you purchased bestival.info? I remember reading a planning application for the renewal of the Sandown market (that you objected against) with another director of your company suggesting traders only show up to make money from tourism, that your advertising budgets brought to the Island. Is that not exactly what you are doing with the bestival.info site?
8. Apparently it will be demolished and a new hotel built in its place. There is a lot of salvageable items in hotel, shame to just let them fade away. They should be sold off at auction or given to 2nd hand shops.
9. Back At it again with the low light footage
10. sick video! could you tell me what was this place's name was? (don't want a location or anything, just the name)
11. Awesome Location and great video! Really nice work man.
12. what a grand hotel it must of been before the rot set in
