Haunted Hotels You’ll Love (and Fear)
What’s better than checking into a luxury hotel? Checking into a luxury hotel with a little *extra*—like a ghost or two. Some of the most beautiful hotels in the world have more than just fine linens and spa treatments; they come with spine-tingling stories that add a whole new dimension to your stay. Here’s a roundup of haunted hotels perfect for a spooky escape, blending top-tier luxury with a touch of the supernatural.
Fairmont Banff Springs – Banff, Canada
Nestled in the Rockies, the Fairmont Banff Springs is often called the “Castle in the Rockies,” but it’s the ghostly bride that steals the spotlight. Legend has it, a young bride tragically fell to her death on the hotel’s grand staircase, and she’s still spotted roaming the halls, sometimes even dancing in her wedding dress. If the paranormal doesn’t bother you, this Virtuoso property offers VIP perks like complimentary breakfast and spa credits for those brave enough to stay. A night here offers both luxury and the thrill of a ghostly encounter.
The Langham London – London, England
London’s Langham Hotel has a reputation for being one of the most haunted hotels in the UK—and one of the most luxurious. Among its spectral guests is a German prince, believed to have leaped from a window, whose ghost is often seen gliding through the hallways. Cold spots and mysterious footsteps have been reported, adding a ghostly twist to this grand hotel’s already rich history. Whether you’re here for afternoon tea or a paranormal experience, the Langham blends impeccable service with a spooky edge.
The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans – New Orleans, USA
Right in the heart of the French Quarter, The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans brings together Southern charm and paranormal encounters. Guests report sightings of two playful young girls and an older man quietly reading in the library. This property, housed in a historic Beaux-Arts building, is ideal if you want to experience both high-end amenities and haunted hallways. Booking through me will unlock perks like room upgrades and spa credits—because even ghost hunters need to relax.
The Stanley Hotel – Estes Park, Colorado
The Stanley Hotel doesn’t just acknowledge its haunted reputation—it embraces it. This iconic property, which inspired Stephen King’s The Shining, leans into its eerie past with ghost tours and themed events. Room 217 is infamous for the lingering spirit of a maid still making up beds long after her passing. For thrill-seekers, the Stanley is a must. And if you need to unwind after your supernatural encounters, enjoy the stunning mountain views and world-class dining options.
