Once the jewel in South Yorkshire’s hospitality crown, the Hallam Tower Hotel has stood derelict since 2004, an abandoned modernist icon. Situated in City’s affluent western suburbs, the unmistakable form of the Hallam Tower has dominated the skyline since 1965. Once crowned by a dazzling neon sign, years of emptiness and neglect have rendered the abandoned hotel a decaying hulk, its once-elegant interior practically destroyed by vandals and water damage.
