For those who live in Monte Gordo, the Yellow Praia de Monte Gordo hotel is a symbol. Those coming from outside, as soon as they see the yellow pyramid-shaped building in the distance, quickly no longer need a GPS to navigate their way towards this fishing village. Whoever thinks of Monte Gordo, thinks of Yellow. There are even those who try to book a night at this hotel through Booking, although without success.
It was the year 2022, when Yellow Praia de Monte Gordo opened its doors to its guests for the last time. Those doors have not opened again for more than two years, but the pyramid-shaped building remains there. Even closed, it remains one of the symbols of Monte Gordo. Contrary to what one might think, the hotel did not close due to financial problems.
What is known is that Yellow can no longer receive guests, due to structural problems at the base of the building. There is a risk of collapse and guests cannot be put in danger. In , much has been said about the fate of Yellow. There are those who say that it will be demolished, but there are also those who believe that it will just be restored to welcome tourists again.
For now, nothing is known about the outcome of Yellow’s story. There is no information on the hotel door about his future. The stores located at the bottom of the building remain open. Yellow continues to appear in the main accommodation search engines, although it is not possible to book your stay afterwards. All of these websites state that the facility is “temporarily closed.”
Although there is still no defined destination, what is certain is that Yellow Praia de Monte Gordo, even without guests, continues to be a reference in the village.
