At the scene of a bomb find I took this with the Minox spy camera for something to do as we waited the soak time. I bet the area is different now.

Furama Hotel [1973-2001]

Date Place completed: 
1973-08-18
Date Place demolished: 
2001-01-01

1, Connaught Road.

Can anyone confirm the opening date for the Furama? The Emporis website says 1977. But the left edge of this photo dated 1972 shows the building almost finished, so it seems unlikely it would have sat empty for 4-5 years. [Update: opening date set to 1973, see comments below].

Wikipedia says it "closed in November, and was demolished in December 2001."
