Looks a grand hotel in its glory days. I check google n it was closed due to bad tourist influx in 2007.
What a waste, if it had survive until now.....look at how much tourist are flocking to batam......and lotsa new hotels going up.

When I was less than 20yo, that is more than 20y ago (I don't say how many more
), I was used to go for summer holidays in a sea town in Europe, where an old hotel was abandoned since the early '70s.
The doors were closed by walls, except a hole in the back. It was an adventure to go through the hole and explore.
It looked like The Shining (the movie). 4 floors of rooms, totally abandoned, with signs of visits by junkies, or homeless, or simply explorers like me.
What was intriguing was that it was abandoned without any removal of things. Everything was there, just ruined and covered by dust: beds, wardrobes, furniture. And lots of garbage.
At the reception desk, there was even the book with the hand-written registrations of guests of the last years of operation.
The 4th floor was not explorable: large holes in the floor and evident signs of structure failures. I climbed the stairs till 3rd floor always keeping next to the walls (to avoid collapse).

Nobody in Batam knows yet. All those who went there to check never came back.
