Just in time for Halloween, here are the “Top 10 Haunted Hotels” in the United States chosen by hotels.com:

Stanley Hotel – Estes Park, CO : built in 1909, the Stanley offers ghost tours of its most haunted rooms including #217 where Stephen King stayed while he was writing “The Shining”.

Heathman Hotel- Portland, OR : a ghost frequents all the rooms at Heathman ending in 03.

Green Mountain Inn- Stowe, VT : born in room #302 in 1840, Boot Berry was a local hero turned outcast. He later died after slipping from the inn’s roof rescuing a young girl during a storm, directly above the same room. Guests in #302 have reported the sounds of tap dancing on stormy nights.

Menger Hotel – San Antonio, TX : hotel staff believe the Menger’s many paranormal visitors stem from its proximity to The Alamo.

Le Pavillon Hotel – New Orleans, LA : at least four different ghosts have been seen at La Pavillion, perhaps due to a fire on the property in 1889.

Boston Omni Parker House Hotel – Boston, MA : the hotel’s founder, Harvey Parker, was a reported perfectionist involved in all aspects of the Omni’s operation so it’s no surprise that he’s still seen roaming the halls though he’s been dead since 1884.
