Green Park Hotel, located in Kartepe, one of Kocaeli's important winter tourism centers, will not be able to open its doors this season either because 33 identified critical safety deficiencies have not been remedied. It was captured on camera that water is leaking from the walls of the giant hotel, which once hosted thousands of tourists, that its ceilings have collapsed, and that the facility has turned into a ruin. It was alleged that operator Adil Üstündağ left the hotel, saying, "There is no good left for me here anymore."
The latest condition of Green Park Hotel, which was one of the important winter tourism destinations in the Kartepe district of Kocaeli for years, drew attention. It was stated that the hotel, where security deficiencies were detected after inspections of tourism facilities were increased following the deadly hotel fire in Bolu Kartalkaya, had been closed for a long time. It was reported that the giant facility, viewed on site by Kocaeli Gündem, had suffered serious damage due to neglect.
NONE OF THE 33 CRITICAL DEFICIENCIES WAS REMEDIED
According to a report by Kocaeli Gündem; while inspections of tourism facilities across Turkey were tightened after the hotel fire in Kartalkaya, serious security deficiencies were also detected at Kartepe Green Park Hotel. None of the 33 critical deficiencies identified at the hotel, on which millions of liras were spent, was remedied.
It was stated that the facility, which was also reported not to have received the necessary fire department compliance approval, will not open for service this winter season either.
WATER IS LEAKING FROM THE WALLS, CEILINGS ARE COLLAPSING
The latest images of the hotel, once one of the favorite facilities of winter tourism, revealed the condition the building has reached. According to a report by Kocaeli Gündem, water was seen leaking heavily from the walls of the giant complex, while ceilings had collapsed in some sections.
It was reported that the hotel, which was stated to have been unused for a long time, has been gradually wearing down due to neglect, and the facility that once hosted tourists now resembles a ruin.
THE OPERATOR ABANDONED THE HOTEL
It was alleged that the hotel's operator, Adil Üstündağ, also left the facility. It was claimed that Üstündağ packed up his belongings and left the summit, saying, “No good will come to me from here anymore.”
No timeline was shared regarding when the hotel, one of Kartepe's important tourism investments, will become operational again.
