A hotel right in the heart of the city of Lincoln, dating back to 1867. The hotel has been closed since the 2000's.

The Barbican Hotel in Lincoln was originally opened as a gentleman’s club in 1867. During the 1870s the building became the Albion Hotel, and was quite a prestigious place to stay in its time; an important early hotel it still retains original external features.
During the 1980s the hotel was renamed to the Barbican. In 2006 eight people were rescued from a blaze started in a bedroom on the second floor. The Barbican Hotel closed during the 2000s and despite being purchased by developers in 2008 has stood empty ever since.
Would love to have the money to turn this back into the spectacular hotel that it used to be, it could be amazing, make it cheap for train travellers right outside the new bus station as well. So sad its like this.
i renovated this hotel after the fire in 2006, rebuilding the room that was destroyed in the fire and re decorating from top to bottom all 26 bedrooms, it was sold to the cooperative in 2008 for around £650,000, when i enquired about renting the place they wanted £100,000 a year, thats why its still empty.

Thought it was lovely to see inside the old place again, such a shame it’s not in use and going to ruin

Woh! No wonder it’s still empty then! It’s a shame to see it falling into disrepair
