Not everyone likes a beach holiday, if you prefer your relaxation time with a side of the supernatural then shiver away at these spine-chilling spots instead, each come with their own selection of spooky stories…

Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, Los Angeles

If you’re a fan of old Hollywood, this is probably the place for you. If you’re a fan of ghost Hollywood, this is definitely the place for you! The hotel’s range of great bars, illustrious clientele, and location in the swanky heart of LA are already reason enough to visit, but beneath all that glitz is supposedly the ghost of Marilyn Monroe. Yes, the Marilyn Monroe. Guests and staff alike have reportedly caught glimpses of a ghostly blonde woman in Marilyn’s former suite. It’s probably the most glamorous haunting ever!

Dalhousie Castle Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh

Avid Harry Potter fans will no doubt recognise the moniker of the most famous ghost of this 13th-century fortress-turned-hotel – Lady Catherine, or the Grey Lady, who supposedly died of a broken heart and has made spectral visits ever since. If you’re keen to see her, why not dine in the dungeon restaurant?

Jamaica Inn, Cornwall

The setting of the Daphne du Maurier novel of the same name, this old inn is a hotbed of creepy occurrences. An already fascinating history as a popular smugglers’ hiding place has been added to over the years by stories of mysterious noises (footsteps, voices, horses, carriages) and strange visitors (who disappear through the walls).

Hotel del Coronado, San Diego

The mystery of Kate Morgan fuels the ghostly activity here – in 1892, she checked into the hotel to meet her estranged husband. The meeting never took place, but six days later, Morgan’s body was found on the hotel steps leading down to the beach. Room 302, the room she stayed in, has never been the same…

Langham Hotel, London

The most haunted hotel in London, the ethereal visitors spotted by Langham guests include a man in Victorian garb, a former German prince, and Napoleon III. Perfect for those who like their spooky encounters with a political twist.

Ballygally Castle Hotel, Northern Ireland

The ghost of Lady Shaw is believed to have been wandering the castle ever since falling to her death from her bedroom window, where her husband locked her away after the birth of their son. So beware of bringing children here…

Grand Hyatt Hotel, Taipei

This luxurious spot in the centre of Taipei looks like the last place you’d ever encounter anything creepy. But the sacred scrolls in the lobby hint otherwise – built over a wartime political prison, the hotel has entertained ghostly goings-on ever since it opened.

Hotel Chelsea, New York

Another great spot for spotting famous visitors – particularly of the otherworldly sort! The Chelsea’s ghostly guests include poet Dylan Thomas, novelist Thomas Wolfe, and Sex Pistols member Sid Vicious. Drop in if you feel like some highbrow haunting!

Hotel Burchianti, Florence

Despite being frequented by artists, musicians, and politicians in the early half of the 20th century, the Hotel Burchianti features a more mundane array of spooks – popular sightings include a woman knitting in a chair, a maid doing her cleaning rounds, and children skipping down the halls.

Decebal Hotel, Bacau

Treasure Island meets The Woman in Black: visitors to the Baile Herculane spa in Romania’s Decebal Hotel have reported sightings of a woman in a long white gown, who supposedly guards an ancient treasure hidden somewhere in the area.
