This Abandoned Hotel🛌, opened in 1972, was the company’s flagship hotel at the time..Because Houston’s NASA🚀had just won the Space Race🪐, the hotel was themed accordingly, with its restaurant, titled, “The Orbit” having special lighting resembling stars💫But in 1993, it was purchased by a Hindu🛕non-profit organization, which sought to convert the 600 rooms into a meditation🧘training center..However, in 1998, the building began to degrade, violating fire safety codes🚒 Many redevelopment ideas have been brought up such as becoming workforce👷housing, apartments, or hotels🏨 again but due to lack of financing💸, these plans have fallen through..The building currently is for sale🏷️, and it sits as a shell of what it once was, a reminder of Houston’s Downtown History📖 #houston #urbex #abandoned #abandonedhotel #explore #urbanexploring #urbandecay
