Nice place and no alarms! Good on ya, you got to see the place post-liquidation-pre-vandalized! Full day of exploring must have been great. Cheers again!
This is horrible to watch for me personally, I used to use the gym here weekly and it suddenly shut, pre Covid I must add. I feel sorry for all those who lost their jobs. I live round the corner from here and the locals were very upset to hear of the hotel closing. So sad to see how it's degraded in just a matter of months. Another interesting video, keep safe team.
Hi Alec! I enjoyed the explore, lot of fun for me. Abandoned Dec 2019 with the power still on is very strange to me. Can’t wait for your next explore! 👍❤️😊
Big place and clean pretty much. Big kitchen and lights still on in areas. Great explore 👍 up. Alec as always great job 🙂 enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing ☺️. Your pictures are GREAT.
Stayed there a number of times sad to see its demise. Always liked those bedrooms you explored near the end and interesting to see behind the scenes where a guest doesn’t get to go. Didn’t realise how big the place was. Always a friendly welcome there feel sorry the staff have lost their livelihood. Really enjoyed your explore.
Highlight of the week Alec waiting on you uploading a new video. Initially I thought this might be the Normandy Hotel but when you gained access and proceeded to show how sprawling the place that thought went out the window. So sad to see a business on its knees and try to recoup some of its losses by selling off everything. I don’t think it will be long before this place could be completely ransacked and trashed. Hope none of their previous guests asked for a room with a view cos I. Think they might have been a wee bit disappointed. Perhaps you need some subtext for your overseas viewers eg ‘ it’s howling in there’ translates as room service had not been in attendance that day . 😂Many thanks for sharing 👍
worked here for a combined two & half years, such shame to see the hotel like this :( - I actually was the last one to close the front hotel door along with my GM. So sad
Yes it’s very sad when you see a business like that go to the wall. Especially as it cost people their jobs. Do you know why the Hotel closed down? And what it was called?
Yep I was there when the place folded my last day was the Tuesday before valintines day after we got hit with the bad news on the Monday at 3pm I had wondered why they were dropping the "Hilton" name seemed rather odd but soon found out Kinda miss the place myself tbh! Shame
Yeah they should not be doing this if I was near here I would of rung the police and got them arrested for breaking and entering a premises which has close down
Great explore as always, Alec. It was sad to see it like this, I have stayed in this hotel many times with my coach parties. I always enjoyed my time here, went for a swim too. It was always a pleasure to stay, you got a tasty warm cookie when you arrived. I wish it was the Britannia hotel that had closed, it's an absolute dump! It went on fire a few years ago, unfortunately the firemen saved it! There's another abandoned hotel near the beach, don't know if you could get in to explore, it was an excellent hotel too.
I wonder why they just left.It looked like a very clean nice place to stay.at one time.someone has vandalized it.a lot could be saved or sold.what a huge olace.take care.
Any clip that starts with heavy breathing and not long after, an "Aye" , gets my attention 😛 Seeing they had the social distancing circles, maybe closed due to Covid? And having a revamp? Bloody massive place
Now demolished it was owned by Hilton before it closed they pulled out of this and their beach hotel just before covid really hit. More a down turn in the oil industry. I know a few folk in the retirement flats who bought there because of the hymn and pool avaliability
Trasladar la mente a mundos inexplorados es una hermosa manera de vivir la diferencia. Gracias por el esfuerzo que haces por darnos ese regalo. Un saludo especial desde mi hermosa Colombia.😘
Looked like the employees came back and had a drinking party and trashed some of it. But left some bottles in case they had to come back.... Very sketchy showing that window that lifts out from the outside xD. And because you can't watch every person who goes in with a group that size, if something is broken your all responsible... I do love your video's but don't show us the way you get in please, it could get you into trouble.
There's nothing in this video that has said they've broken and entered! If they found an opening then they can enter as there is no trespassing laws in Scotland either😅
@@AlanRafferty doesn't really speak any volumes tbh, could be the fact they found entrance doesn't mean it was breaking in! Could be the fact they don't want potential vandals going in and burning it! Can already see you've found them guilty without facts🙃
Poor management staff were kept in the dark from Oct 2019,company stopped communication and ran the place up until staff were informed in February of 2020 at a shock meeting I'm a former employee it was a nice place to work tbf had it not gone rupt I'd still be there as breakfast chef.
@@Corkedwolf43771 It's weird though, they must have bee doing something inside that was open to the public (just selling the stuff it was showing toward the end of the video?) as thy had social distancing markers on the floor, which didn't exist anywhere until during the pandemic.

I'm third. Hee Hee! Excellent video. Very recent abandonment. Nice, nice hotel. Wonder why? Love tripping with you Alec, so much fun and so very interesting. Cheers man. Or maybe fourth?
You guys should check out John Rogers exploring videos, doesn’t invade buildings but they are much more interesting because he somehow includes the viewer in the journey with info and speaking through the camera. Yours are ok, due to the natural curiosity but there’s no empathy with you and your journey. Fair play though for not damaging, only documenting!
Such a shame, this will be the case with many wedding venues and hotels in Scotland in the 'New Normal' With little or no funding to help keep these places afloat.
Oh my what a pleasant change a place in Scotland that has not been completely trashed with the usual idiots, I just dont get it why do they have to do it. That is a really big hotel enjoyed the explore. Stay safe.
I like your videos would love to visit one day I did DNA test my relatives came from there a couple hundreds years ago love history have learn a little would like to know more.
It's now being demolished. Flats & houses will be built on the site. www.eveningexpress.co.uk/fp/news/local/video-demolition-begins-on-former-aberdeen-treetops-hotel/
Please tell us all where this is and the name as now you have trespassed do the owners a favour and advertise this place, try get it reopened as it looks an amazing place, ❤️👍
Stayed in that aboot 4 yrs ago was decent hotel you walked right past the room i stayed in checked into there after another refusing shitty brittania hotel in bucksburn
Don’t understand why the people who have made this video,would want to make a video of this!All there doing is letting people see its not open but it’s accessible to enter .To me these people are doing more harm than good,maybe they need to stop filming outside the premises as this is letting too many people know where they are.
Oh man, this brings back loads of memories. I worked there for over 18 years so very strange to see it looking like this.
Wow that was a long time at one place of employment. Was it a well visited place?
Where is it ?

I bet that was well run in its time. Everywhere looked so clean, good to see.

Yes it’s very sad when you see a business like that go to the wall. Especially as it cost people their jobs. Do you know why the Hotel closed down? And what it was called?
The hotel was a franchise of DoubleTree by Hilton, it was called the DoubleTree by Hilton Aberdeen Treetops. It closed down due to bankruptcy:(

My graduation ball was in this hotel in June 2019 and I felt it was tired looking then didn’t realise it had been abandoned
Only closed at beginning of 2020,with promises of it only being mothballed.Demolished November 2020.The famous Aberdeen treetops.
I knew I recognised it!! Thank you. :)
That's good to know that is the treetops used to go there in the 70s

The staff got told one day in Feb 2020 that the hotel was closing with immediate effect
I met Stephen Hendry there at a snooker and dinner evening in the late 80s. Also had a drink there after my uncle's funeral. Sadly now demolished.
Great explore alec amazing building hope someone will take it on 👌👍
Thanks im sure they will soon enough
Demolished November 2020

@@ExploringwithAlec bugger what a waste.. Hopefully someone buys it before it gets trashed..
@@mishwahlert4354 I'm sure someone will
It closed before Covid last year. Given up by the hotel chain that owned it and no one took over

This is so sad. Been to many xmas works nights out at this hotel.
I Didn't know it had been demolished.
Yup its gone

Haha nice explore pal. Pleased yous got in.
Thanks
Did they close up because of Covid? It looked nice and like they just left. Good to see Arthur again. Good explore!
I just google it says they would be open throughout Covid
It closed pre COVIC so I’ve heard. Still very sad, as it would of cost people their jobs😒

All gone now. Didn't take them long to knock it down and start prepping for more ££ flats :(
Its still standing 🤦🏻♀️ its only closed cause of covid on the other hand they have built next to this hotel flats but this hotel still stands
they have demolised it

Looks like a nice place, shame it’s been abandoned.
Its now been demolished
A management team has bought over this chain of hotels , so they'll be open again at some point.
When did that happen.last I heard they were thinking of turning the hotel into flats.

I like the sounds of the seagulls
Yeah aberdeen is full of them
It that a social distance sign on the floors it can only about 3 months ish since abandoned
Looks like they where selling furniture. The hotel maybe not be making money
GOOD VID ALEC BUT DONT THINK NICOLA STURGEON WOULD BE OVER AMUSED THAT THERES NO SOCIAL DISTANCING IF SHE SEES YOUR VID LOL😂😂😂👍
Haha yeah I know
Demolition has now started round the back. Was only suggested a month ago so it's moved pretty fast. Was bought by a house builder so inevitable
Shame their knocking it down. The hotel is still in such good condition.
Another amazing find! Where is this?
Aberdeen Scotland i'll say no more than that
Was the Hilton Treetops, on the way to Hazlehead Park. There's a Hilton at the beach too, also closed down.
Hi Alec, well at least you all got in there before the spray painting vandals got there ,good tour. Is it always cold there?
No it's not always cold this summer has been quite warm for a change but when it is cold it's bloody freezing.
Stayed here for a wedding in another hotel nice but was needing modern upgrade great location
There was a ghost town near where I lived too - nobody bought the houses for some reason.
Only discovered you today! Love it so far.. Where is this? I feel like I’ve been here before 🤔 xx
