The 10 Most Haunted Hotels in America to Book This Halloween - AFAR
"Designed by Schultze and Weaver and opened in 1926, this landmark resort features a 315-foot tower modeled after the Giralda in Seville and once boasted the world’s largest swimming pool; it was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1973 and reopened as a luxury hotel after extensive renovations in 1987. During Prohibition the property housed a speakeasy and attracted gangsters, and mobster Thomas “Fatty” Walsh was fatally shot on the 13th floor in 1929—an event tied to reports of unexplained noises, flickering lights, and apparitions near the spot. The building later served as a World War II military hospital and a Veterans Administration hospital, and many guests and staff have reported sightings of men in uniform and other lingering presences believed to be former patients." - Bailey Berg
