Yes! Finally, someone did a video on this! I drive by this all the time, and I've been wanting to know the history of it!
It's a pretty weird place.
@@v12productions They're better off just knocking the sucker down. It's clearly been through a lot since it was abandoned nearly a decade ago.
I said the exact same when I seen it in my feed, I been search google trying to describe this building the best way I can and also naming the exit it’s next too trying figure out wtf was it for
Club Europe used to be so dope
Just giving an update on my trip here. Me and brother decided to check this place out after seeing multiple reviews on it and it supposedly being security free. After managing to find an entry point into the lot (took about 30 mins due to barbed wire and fencing) we scouted it another 15 mins then started to look for an entry point in to the building (it is completely boarded up) we managed to pull back some of the boarding and work our way in and to the top (not as hard as everyone makes it seem). After getting to the top we made the mistake of climbing the billboard and that’s is where we were spotted by security and got the hell out of there. 5 mins went by and we were back at the bottom, walked out, climbed fencing and next thing you know police and security are swarming the place with the gates open searching for us. If you do go here make sure you are very careful!! Anyone that says no security is BS, this place is getting more and more strict.
I was there yesterday, they boarded up the stairway so that nobody could climb to the top but there’s a crack in the ceiling that lets you climb up to the next floor to take the stairs and it’s an amazing view from the top you can see downtown, mid town, sandy springs and Stone Mountain
Where is it at ?
@@sebastianpineda7975 right next to spaghetti junction highway off chamblee tucker rd
@@chrisg869 how hard is it to get to the top? like what exactly do you need to do and how do you get to the second floor stair set that’s not blocked off
@@jairx4t781 there used to be multiple ways to get to the top but they sealed off every entrance like they boarded up the doors that lead to the stairs so what you have to do is climb the roof of the first floor, then climb in the window to the second floor because you can’t get to the second floor from inside the first one you have to get to the roof first, then you look for a room with a large crack In the ceiling and climb it using the water pipes that lead up to the next floor through the cracks, the crack is big enough to fit your chest in so you should be able to fit, after that you just climb the stairs till you get to the top, that’s the only way to get there tho so if they sealed the cracks then there’s no way to get up, I say this because there’s a private security guard there sometimes in a black suv and he will try to handcuff you if you get caught but he’s not there most days so just look out for him before you go in
@@chrisg869 good looking out bro, thank you! If you ever need or want anyone to tag along with i would be down, i stay maybe 15 mins away from the building so im good to go. my ig is @jairx4t7
Man I can remember seeing this building at night and how it would changes colors beautifully and used to be purple at night on the freeway. Man years as passed.
I used to go clubbing on the first floor in the early 00s
I live in Lawrenceville so I take that highway like everyday since 2009 and I always seen that building and wondered what it is and was amazing video
Thanks! Yes, I wondered about it for many years as well.
i just came by it and always wondered what it’s history was and it’s amazing that all this time it has a big story to it.
We used to party at club Europe there lol
Great drone footage! Looks like renovation work has already begun, with the windows removed (they were still intact in the most recent Street View images).
Thanks! Yeah, I hope they fix that place up soon.
In 2016 hardly any windows were broken, sucks to see it like that. It made it seem untouched haha
The last I heard, it was sold to a developer to build a retirement community. It looks they're working behind the building if you drive down Presidential Drive. One of local media had pictures of the proposed project, and there were plans to build a couple of other buildings around it. A couple of friends always stayed there for local conventions, like Dragon Con because it was usually one of the last hotels to sell out as it wasn't easy to get to. Those suites with the big windows were pretty much small apartments as they had a master bedroom along with a sofa bed & a small kitchen and refrigerator. The rates were in the low $100's per night, and I kinda regretted not having discovered them sooner. I think when the fire marshall evicted everyone, most of the tenant's property got left behind as you couldn't move without power. The building wasn't boarded up for the longest time, and I was tempted to look inside, but I had no idea if anyone was squatting there & I'm too old to be charged with trespassing. The building suffered a couple of waves of graffiti on the outside, and I guess it got the owners motivated to get a security guard on the property. It's been gutted, so I'm not sure what lies ahead regarding its progress, but maybe they'll finish it once things get a little better. Great footage! Thanks for posting!
Thanks for sharing! It's an interesting and unusual property for sure. Hopefully someone can fix it up at some point.
@@v12productions I was there one time driving with my freinds we went in it before to check it out then we went back again saw a black suv sum dude told us he bought the building
@@v12productions this was like 10 months ago to
@@ssglbc1875 Interesting! Guess we'll see what happens. I haven't seen any progress in the last several months.
@@ssglbc1875 what time did you go ? And did that person make you leave ?
I remember partying a bit too hard and getting kicked out of that club with some friends about 22 years ago. Lol
I’m it’s prime it was close to a General Motors plant so that may have been a good piece of their business. There is also a small airport near by.
That "small airport" nearby is Peachtree DeKalab, the 2nd busiest airport in Georgia.
I think it could be a great place for a corporate headquarters. I remember that building and it gives me nostalgia seeing it. When I was a kid living in Atlanta, when my father rode in route to downtown, I saw that building from the spaghetti junction every single time. And the billboards were the most interesting part of the building. I hope they don't demolish the place, and I hope they cand find a permanent purpose for it.
Zombieland 2 shot there in 2019. I was working on the project and got to see this place up close. The whole finale to the movie uses this building as its exterior 💫
I've been seeing this hotel when I go on the highway
Hello im commenting hopping to save some people from the mistake me and my boy did. the place looks dope who wouldent however the place is covered head to toe in razer wire somehow we found a 2 inch clearence under the fence which is now blocked, after 2 hours of looking around the building noticing trail cameras in every direction we dident care. everywhere is boarded by welded metal doors we found one point that had a wood boared and sopent 40 minutes getting through. we finally got in.. however in seconds a car pulled off and nailed the bored back leaving us trapped inside the horrifing building we waiting for him to leave then as sun went down we tried throwing our bodys through the bored to get out..dident work.. apperntly the owner drove his truck away and waitied for us to try to scape once he heard us he ran to the door then asking for our phones we ran back we ended up calling the police to get us out it took an hour for them to come im still a litlle creeped by the situation..i have to pay the man 400 because he owns the whole land and we destroyed proptery the man has pressed charges on multiple kids.. tbh not the smartest move if your tryna get in this place. i promise you the owner will get you. theres alot more shit that went down that was terrifing when we were stuck in that building and the man had us traped in there but i dont want to address that publicly.
you got instagram?
i would like to hear more about what happened if your comfortable sharing
Any more info
Always wanted to know what this building use to be....
I have been in Atlanta for 14 years and always wonder what this place was wow
It's still in bad shape. But thanks for the video I've lived in the northwest Atlanta suburbs since I was a kid in 2009 but I just noticed this for the first time when yesterday I had to drive from Newnan to Lawrenceville and back it looked so weird I had to know what it was
I see this almost all the time and I always wondered what was going to happen to it
Is it possible to look around there without having a run in with cops?
Has it been torn down yet? The main reason for the problem is that over the years when Spaghetti Junction was reconfigured back in the late 1980's exists were moved and others eliminated rendering the location obsolete. Just tear it down. Circular buildings are difficult at best to configure into profitable spaces.
I drove by a cool looking apartment complex that looked abandoned, although I did see a light on but I’m sure it’s abandoned. It’s off of Old National Hwy and Jerome st in College Park. It might be a cool place to do a video
My xc team runs to this place all the time. My friend and i even found the staircase and went to the top. i also heard like zombie land or sum was filmed there too.
Is it blocked off or can you just go on property
@@rickyreddin There is a security guard that patrols the area. We used it for a film a few years ago, and at the time, there were apparently two owners of the building.
@@rickyreddin I go up there all the time theres no security guards lol
@@abramsullivan9586 yo dude what’s your Instagram?
@@Partijj abram_theposer hmu if U wanna go bro
They're going to have the same problem tearing this building down like when they tried to tear down the old C&S bank building.
The old C&S building was built in a completely different manner. There, from the central core, the floors hung off of it like tree branches. This old hotel is more conventional construction with supporting columns all around its. It from a demolition perspective would be a simple job.
OH yeah. Put seniors in there to breathe the mold!?!
I’ve seen this place in a field trip..
I thought it was just a skyscraper back then-
I used to live there when I went to Henderson middle school. My dad was one of managers that worked there.
Interesting. What was it like inside?
I remember coming here a few times and there’s was a club on the very top
Dang. You ever been inside of this hotel before it closed?
I didn't. I've heard it wasn't very nice.
V12 Productions Okay.
They are working on it. I went to the Vet today and saw some contruction going on.
Wasn’t this the Viscount at some point?
The Viscount was down the road further by Clairmont. I believe it is a Marriott now in the Century Center development.
I just got a drone An looking to explore. Would love people who enjoy this as well to connect with
I live up the street from here across 285. Remember when this place wasn't junky
Club europe used to be going crazy back in the early 2000s
Where is it located?
It's right by Spaghetti Junction in Dekalb County.
Location, location, location, matters as the people in real estate say!!! May be they are right afterall😲
In 1978, when this was built; if they borrowed an additional $500k or less in order to take this to buckhead or anywhere midtown, the owners would be among the richest in Atlanta today - just from this one property alone.
So, you can imagine what more they could have been able to do with the proceeds from it😯
Lastly, an additional $500 on that loan would have added a very negligible sum to the payment!!!
I used to spend my Friday nights at Club Europe at the base of the hotel about 12 years ago. The tower was always very creepily dark. So sad about this place.
Yo I passed by this building 😲😌
I'm thinking they built the building there to be close to the Peachtree-Dekalb airport, not Hartsfield-Jackson. Peachtree-Dekalb accept private jets from very important people
Me and my dad seen it long ago before so they probably close down
It was really stupid to build that building way out there
Club Europe was the best 🤙🏾💚🏁
lmao i live right by this place
I thought that was a satellite building
I’ve always wonder what this building is. Thanks for the insight!
that fucking thing still there? lol
This building was owned by Atlanta mobsters and they went bankrupt
Does anyone know if it’s still abandoned I wanna sneak in and smoke a blunt on the top looking at the city
Read my review above, don’t go!!
I’ve heard after the hotel or after it was a strip club and at the bottom their was offices , idk if it’s true or not but yh
Instead of making it as another senior living, it will be nice to make it for the homeless people
Click bait, it was a appartment building
Fenced off and dekalb count police around the corner
I'll be here in a few days...
