Description
This is a photo of the beautiful staircase in an abandoned sanatorium. The sanatorium is being completely stripped at this moment. Work to transform this building into a hotel has recently started. The hotel will have 160 rooms, and is located in an area that is famous for its radon-carbonate mineral springs, whose natural temperature of 33–35 °C enables the water to be used without preliminary heating. The area was especially popular in the Soviet era, attracting around 125.000 visitors a year. Stalin regularly visited a bathing house here.
Since the 90's, many of these abandoned sanatoriums in the area have been devoted to housing refugees due to the conflict in Abkhazia.
