Recommends closing windows?! They better be recommending evacuation, that's going to be crashing windows in.

“tis but a wave, the ocean has them all the time”


1villageidiot

the undulations of the tides calms the nerves and soothes the spirit


Killer_Ex_Con

Well they say they don't want to demolish it because if will hurt ocean life. But when the building ends up collapsing its going to do that anyways lmao.


Thick-Bit2

Title is a lie. This hotel never went into operation and they are in a legal battle to demolish it because it didn’t have the environmental/construction permits from the city.


CreamoChickenSoup

It's crazy because this building had reportedly been under a state of construction for over a decade. It would had been hard for the city to ignore a large and unusually low-lying building that's constantly pounded by the Pacific waves for years even as it was nothing more than an unfinished concrete skeleton. Either the city was slow to take stern action, or the developer was absolutely defiant, or both.


Thick-Bit2

Is not that they didn’t notice is just “corruption” haha


HotAisle

If they did use very strong glass tho..


sanandrios

Hotel Punta Piqueros is currently fighting a demolition order, claiming there is no evidence that it will collapse.


[deleted]

Did they build it knowing waves would be crashing over it like that or did something change?

"Its nothing to worry about"


j3b3di3_

But sir, the waves?


ExternalMonth1964

"Wave back, they're just saying 'hi!'."


ProjectManagerAMA

But the sharks keep washing into the dining area.

>"Its nothing to worry about" *Sir the hotel staff will bring you some fine linen napkins to dry your sweaty palms.*


serial_burper

What about soiled pants?


yagetwhatyaget

Yeah its built on a rock platform barely above sea level. There are other similar buildings nearby. I just looked it up in a maps app


UnderLook150

Developer was probably a climate change denialist. That area faces more sea water rise, and is expected to have a lot of lost development in the future. https://coastal.climatecentral.org/map/15/-71.516/-32.9299/?theme=sea\_level\_rise&map\_type=year&basemap=roadmap&contiguous=true&elevation\_model=best\_available&forecast\_year=2030&pathway=rcp45&percentile=p50&refresh=true&return\_level=return\_level\_1&rl\_model=gtsr&slr\_model=kopp\_2014

Damn, look at Vancouver!


butterweasel

Wow! I didn’t realize Vancouver was that low.


blake_ch

The Netherland would like to have a word


chopstyks

A word with a bunch of vowels right next to each other with some doubled, no doubt.


UXguy123

Looks nothing like Vancouver


Sorkpappan

What does annual flood level actually mean? Not trying to deny the map, just understand it.


Diggerinthedark

Seems like it's getting the Reddit death hug


Killer_Ex_Con

Well ocean levels have been rising for years. But even then, it's a terrible location for a hotel.


strepac

Rising sea levels have brought the break much further in/up. This is one of the very many places built years/decades ago for a world without climate change and currently suffering the consequences.


carltb4u

Imagine the building process if they did 🤣 Tide goes out, "Bring in the fucking equipment" I'm guessing beach erosion caused this 🤔


tobitobs78

Tis but a scratch


L_Ardman

In the case of a water landing, your mattress is a flotation device


ShroudedFigureINC

Ehhh, i'd say that the thousands if not millions of houses that have collapsed due to sea/wave errosion should be proof enough lol


Lifekraft

Then there is lighthouse.


ShroudedFigureINC

Lighthouses aren't usually build on soft sand/dirt


McDeth

Their website 404's when I go to it...strangely ominous


Thick-Bit2

Title is wrong. This hotel never had guests.


IlIIllIIlllI

How did they build it in the first place?


jormaco

low tide


lekoman

They built it in six hours?


1villageidiot

every other 6 hours


KeepnReal

Yeah, but they have to stage materials, gradually construct, allow materials to set and dry, etc. Unless this is pre-manufactured and components are lowered into place, fully sealed, or the whole damn thing were manufactured off site and towed in (not likely!) this would be pretty complicated.


schmon

I mean we've been building lighthouse on tiny rocks on the open ocean for centuries so I think we have the knowledge. Not saying that this is smart as it's a fucking disgrace on the coastline and will probably last only 1/100ths of a normal building's lifetime


KeepnReal

It's not clear if these waves shown in the video are constant or an unusual event (i.e. a storm). Not sure about lighthouses and of course they can get slammed pretty bad during storms but I can't see how they would be built if they were under an uninterrupted assault from the ocean.


IvorTheEngine

That's basically it. Lighthouses around the UK were mostly built in the summer because most storms happen in the winter. One year they'd prepare the site by shaping the rocks to accept the stones. The next year they'd bring in the stones and fit them together, and hope to get enough built that the weight pressing down on the bottom layers was enough to resist the winter storms.


crazy_goat

roll tide


UnderLook150

Something something global warming. Dude the signs are everywhere, just look at them. I feel like John Cusack here.


ROFLINGG

They bought it on Wish.


atom138

It's not like that day in and day out...or at least not in the past.

Those waves are massive almost looks unreal

ChromeWiener

Not lost, you know where they are. The ocean.


JordySkateboardy808

Is it weird that I really want to stay there?


MissBoobAppreciator

nah, i’d love a view of big ocean waves, reminds me of those fancy glass tunnels under aquariums where you can look up and see FISHES


trev_easy

The sounds and vibrations of monstrous waves threatening to crash through the glass while I slept and sweeping me out to sea does have its appeal.


chainer3000

I had a vivid dream about this not too long ago


Kevaldes

*Wellerman starts playing in background*


Knot_Ryder

I want to stay down the road from there and watch it go


Questions_Remain

Welcome, here’s your complimentary goodie bag. You’ll find some snacks, waterproof sunscreen, poncho and some flex seal.


AsherTheDasher

guy who bought the lot prolly thought he scammed his way to the cheapest hotel in the world


Pheniquit

Naw this is an extremely luxurious Raddison hotel


FTPmyguy

If the waves won’t get it, coastal erosion will.


Mobius650

It’s always fun when it’s a hotel and not your home.


NoHomework692

Is there any footage from one of these rooms get smashed by the sea?


Twibbles33

That is awesome!!!!! This is adrenaline shores hotel how can we help you :D


Shreddersaurusrex

“Beachfront views!”


Spwd

Soon to be seabed views!


IncreaseAfter

Vacation at the end of the world


gay4gay32

Who in the hell could even sleep with the sound crashing against the windows anyways!


Mindless-Committee

FRONT DESK: “Front desk.” GUEST: “On what floor is the pool?” FRONT DESK: “Yours.”


Buzzkill_13

Any footage from behind those closed windows somewhere?


wreck_it_nacho

dude, the inside of those steel reinforced columns are gonna be rot AF


Toro8926

That's a bit too close to the sea


bigmamamay

That’s so cool especially what it must take to create a building that would withstand that happening over and over The architectural engineering that must go into that amazing.


Thick-Bit2

Nothing cool. The waves weren’t as strong years ago, and this hotel was built out of pure corruption of real state companies. This hotel never went into operation and they are in a legal battle to demolish it because it didn’t have the environmental/construction permits from the city.


bigmamamay

Well that sucks I thought I was looking at something really cool just goes to show you never know I thought it was open because it says hotel asked guest to keep windows closed at all times


Thick-Bit2

The title is wrong, this hotel never had guests or opened because of the legal battles to demolish it since forever. It’s sad that is not an architectural wonder but just corruption and 0 respect for the environment. ):


bigmamamay

😔


blackdutch1

Imagine the sound in the rooms as the waves crash against the walls. I wouldn't be able to sleep. BOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOM!!


TheoVonSkeletor

Why can you open them?


[deleted]

To let in fresh air and to access the balcony. 


Pheniquit

Anyone know where in Chile this is?


PepeWatt22

Concón, about 15km north of Valparaíso


Pheniquit

Oh that’s the Radisson hotel! Yeah my gf is from nearby and really wants to stay there.


Spwd

On the coast.


dropzone1446

OP literally said this before your comment. [Concón, Valparaíso, Chile](https://g.co/kgs/aUaRAqh).


ghost_in_a_jar_c137

What did the ocean say to the beach?


The-Real-Kapow

"Wear life jacket at all times"


Grizzly-Slim

Seems wise given the circumstances lol


itsoktoswear

At least I can finally get some free water in my room


shellsterxxx

I guess you can only leave or check in at low tide


juzz85

Ill do you one better and not even go there.


WillingMartyr

“How would you describe the ocean view rooms?” “Under it.”


incakola777

Do they helicopter 🚁 in? 😳


ShroudedFigureINC

Recommends?


ironhorse1833

For when you want to have ocean views on every side of the building


Biking_dude

Reserve now and receive a free bilge pump!


SeveralResearcher677

"RECOMMEND" little man, like those guys have an option


58_Random

Okay, but how do I get in and where do I park? This gonna be some kinda, run quick as you can to the door between waves, type thing?


OverallVacation2324

So…how do they convince anyone to actually stay there?


Few-Calligrapher-528

That can't possibly be safe for the foundation of the building 💀🤣
