Aftermath of the demolition of the Club Med building, now reduced to a huge pile of concrete, as viewed from Fort St Catherine It was the first building ever to be imploded in Bermuda. The photo was taken from an observation point on St Davids Road, St Davids Island, St George's Parish, Bermuda, looking out across St George's Harbour towards Fort St Catherine. The Club Med Hotel has stood derelict for 20 years.The hilltop hotel with stunning views of the surrounding area, was originally opened as a Holiday Inn, but that venture failed as did later attemps to make it work by Loews and Club Med. The 688-bed hotel was badly damaged by Hurricane Emily in 1987 and closed as a Club Med facitlty in 1988. A 1000ft exclusion zone was created around the site before the building was safely demolished
