Damn I want that for MY bathroom!

I wonder if it was a Jacuzzi too :-)
Text 'M' for Murder lol! And yes I have one like that, complete with old-time bell ringer. In the UK the Post Office used to rent phones to you up until the 80s because you weren't allowed to plug your own equipment into the system, so everyone had one of these!
Bathroom colours could be Thirties Deco or Fifties (there was a bit of a revival!) Makes me think of Grease for some reason - or aluminium Airstream diners...
Thirties handrails, Sixties lighting, Eighties partitions to the top of the stairwell. This place has had more facelifts over the years than Liz Taylor... and probably looks better :)
I bet the conditions need to be just right for this - big picture windows for plenty of light, a sopping wet carpet due to water ingress, and God only knows how the seeds got there. It's almost heartening to see nature reclaiming the place so quickly but scary too. If our civilisation was wiped out tomorrow by a plague or comet strike, I wonder how much would remain of our amazing, complex society in a couple of hundred years :-s
The light fitting is a late 60s / early 70s Scandinavian design. It looks quite out of place with the pastel colours and cheap sofas. I can imagine this place as a real Austin Powers pad at one time complete with leather couches, shagpile, and every shade of brown under the sun :-)

This whole place looks fairly "insitutional" for a resort and hotel. I wonder what the plan was for that, or did all the resorts look like this back then?

Phones of today stink, I hate it when you think you've anwsered it when it rings and here you've hit the wrong button and sent it to your message center instead, I'd be able to operate this old phone no problem. Like the old antique pay phone I had as a teen.
