Hotel Ducor
Hotel Ducor was one of the few 5-star hotels of Africa. It closed just before a coup in 1989 and was then squatted by the displaced residents of the civil war. There were plans of renovation when a lease contract was signed with the Lybian government, that were abandoned with the fall of Gaddafi. It is today empty and in ruins, but still overlooking Monrovia from its hilltop.
