Here's a collection of photos of 24 rotting, abandoned hotels around the world, some of them looking like horror movie sets, others like enormous follies, and still others like faerie palaces. Rotting stuff kicks ass.
Graham Hotel: You don't normally think of people seeking out gold in Georgia but that's exactly what happened in the town of Auraria before everyone started to head west. When the California gold rush happened, Auraria became a ghost town just like many western towns eventually became. There remain a few 19th Century buildings there today, including the abandoned Graham Hotel sometimes just called the Auraria Hotel.
