Haludovo Palace Hotel

Ruin of Haludovo Palace Hotel as seen from pool area

The Haludovo Palace Hotel is an abandoned resort hotel on the Croatian island Krk north of Malinska. The hotel is named after a nearby beach. Bob Guccione, the founder of Penthouse magazine, invested 45 million US-dollars in the project and officially opened the Penthouse Adriatic Club casino located in the hotel in 1972.[1][2] Due to constraints on foreign investment in communist Yugoslavia, the hotel was owned by the Rijeka-based Brodokomerc 'company'. Today the hotel resort is abandoned with the interior effectively destroyed while the buildings remain intact.
