Bisbee Grand Hotel

Bisbee Grand Hotel Haunted Hotels in Bisbee Arizona

Address: 61 Main St, Bisbee, AZ 85603

Phenomenons reported: Male/female apparitions, Victorian dress, serving tray, phantom piano, rose scent

Absolutely gorgeous room! Definitely like time traveling. The entire town is incredibly hospitable and welcoming! Guest check in was a breeze but it's in the saloon next door, just fyi. We stayed in the Victorian Suite and it's said to be haunted but unfortunately no paranormal activity for us. Absolutely and highly recommend this sweet spot. Easy to walk all over town. Be weary in the hotter months, as many older buildings, the Grand does not have AC.
Dani DeShong
The Bisbee Grand was such a unique and cool stay! Highly recommend! The hotel is very small and feels very personal. The free breakfast was amazing and probably the best hotel breakfast I’ve had! A few things to note: the beds weren’t super comfortable and the blankets were basically sheets. We stayed in the green room and there was a large gap between the bed and wall so often our pillows fell behind the bed. As other people stated, the walls are very thin. We didn’t have any troubles with the bar, but it seems like Bisbee is a popular spot for people to get wasted. We often woke up to people yelling and shouting. But that’s no fault of the hotel’s, it was the other rude patrons. We did notice our doors kept getting unlocked at night, but that can be attributed to one of the hotel’s ghosts Pearl. Otherwise, the staff was super friendly and I would recommend staying here if nothing else for the experience alone!

Why it's Haunted

Bisbee Grand Hotel in Bisbee, Arizona operates as an elegant Victorian establishment where at least two primary apparitions—a male spirit on the lower floor and a female presence on the upper level—maintain their eternal residence in the 1906 building that originally housed traveling mining executives during the copper boom era. The hotel’s most frequently encountered ghost is a young woman dressed in Victorian-era clothing who appears in guest rooms 2 and 3 holding a serving tray, her presence accompanied by the chilling sounds of an old piano playing on its own and the distinct scent of roses that lingers wherever she roams throughout the property. Built during Bisbee’s golden age when the copper mining town nearly became Arizona’s capital due to its mineral wealth, the hotel closed in the late 1980s for complete renovation before reopening as today’s antique-decorated accommodation that preserved both its historical elegance and supernatural residents.

Paranormal activity manifests throughout all 13 guest rooms, where items are mysteriously overturned, towels become misplaced without explanation, and unexplained noises emanate from the former miner boarding house, while guests report doors closing on their own after hearing sounds of objects being moved. The hotel’s ghostly inhabitants are characterized as quiet and harmless entities who show themselves to witnesses but refrain from making unusual racket or aggressive disturbances, creating an atmosphere where Victorian-era spirits coexist peacefully with modern guests.

Located in the Mule Mountains where Bisbee thrived as a bustling copper mining center from 1880 to 1975, the Bisbee Grand Hotel represents the preservation of Old West mining culture through both its architectural restoration and the benevolent spirits of wealthy executives who continue to call this elegant establishment their permanent home.

Phenomenons reported: Toiletry rummaging, lavender perfume scent, bed climbing, phantom piano

I give this place 5 stars! This is not a Marriott 5 stars, it was 5 stars for experience. It was a great place to stay for visiting Bisbee and was in theme with the town. Originally a miner boarding house. Built in 1916. Has more of a hostel feel. Some rooms have in suite bathrooms but some don't. There is a kitchen with a refrigerator and hot plate. Coffee and Tea. Then there are 3ish cozy rooms to sit. One room has a screen where you can watch a DVD or VHS. Read the flyer photo to see if this is going to be your type of place. Reported ghosts! Every time I woke up during the night I looked around for one but didn't see one. It is right above the thick of the old downtown. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The walls are very thin and you can hear everything. They provide ear plugs. Might not want a front room during the weekend. You can hear people walking by. We enjoyed our stay.
Becky Torres
We had an amazing stay. We really enjoyed the atmosphere that the historic building and the care that gets put into running it has. The location was great for enjoying ourselves on Brewery Lane and being able to walk back was very convenient. Lucy takes great pride in running the hotel and she is very attentive to detail and customer service. We stayed in the haunted cat room. Unfortunately we didn't get visited but we still enjoyed our stay. Thank you!
CW
Wonderful and historical property! Very kind reception, well maintained and very comfortable. My only complaint is, we didn't see any ghosts! 🙂

Why it's Haunted

Hotel La More at The Bisbee Inn in Bisbee, Arizona serves as a supernatural headquarters for the mining town’s most diverse collection of ghostly residents, where Room 11 houses a cowboy spirit who rummages through guests’ toiletries and opens toothpaste tubes while dressed in his white shirt, vest, dark pants, and boots from the early mining era.

Built in 1915 to serve Bisbee’s copper miners during the town’s boom period, the hotel has operated continuously as lodging for over a century, accumulating layers of human experience that manifest in room-specific hauntings throughout the historic 45 OK Street building. Room 12 welcomes guests with the lavender perfume scent of Abigail’s spirit, while Room 15 hosts an invisible entity that climbs into bed with visitors seeking eternal rest, and Room 23 serves as the ethereal playground for a ghost cat that has made this space its permanent supernatural territory. The Lady in White graces the hallways alongside an elderly woman spirit most commonly found in Room 13, while the sounds of a phantom piano echo through empty spaces when no living musician is present.

The hotel’s reputation as one of Bisbee’s most haunted destinations stems from its century-plus service to miners whose dangerous profession created ideal conditions for spirits who refuse to check out, though guests consistently report that while paranormal activity abounds with sudden temperature drops, disembodied voices, and unexplained footsteps, these mining town ghosts remain benevolent entities who cause no harm to the living. Hotel La More represents the perfect convergence of Old West mining history and supernatural preservation, where former clientele continue their eternal residence in rooms 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 23.

The Oliver House

The Oliver House in Bisbee AZ haunted hotel

Address: 26 Sowles Ave, Bisbee, AZ 85603

Phenomenons reported: Gunshot murder, drowning tragedy, cop murder spree, phantom parties, icy cold spots

Will Langston
The hotel is great. It feels like a real old west experience. The rooms are just a bed and a lamp. If you get a private bathroom, it’s pretty bare bones. But, it’s nice and it’s clean. The decor is also fun. Supposedly 26 people have died in the hotel and it’s still haunted by at least some of them. While we were hanging out in the lobby area playing cards in the evening two ghost tours came through. I heard that you should try for room 13 if that’s your jam. We haven’t actually spent the night yet, but maybe we’ll have a ghost in room 12. The location is good and the staff were super helpful.
Jason House
Locals refer to it as the "26 Souls House", as legend has it that at least 26 people met their fate within its walls. Let me tell you—it lived up to the hype and then some. I spent nearly five hours inside, and I was on edge the entire time. From its gorgeous antique furniture and historic decor to the creaky floors and unexplained noises echoing around me, the atmosphere was absolutely haunting. And for those who enjoy a little thrill with their drinks, the house even has a beer & wine speakeasy called "26 Souls," open on weekend evenings to the public. If you love haunted houses, paranormal intrigue, or just historic gems with a story to tell, this is a must-visit! Would you dare to stay the night? 👻
Katrina Minor
This was our second time here in Bisbee and we loved it! Important to know about the Oliver House is there are shared bathrooms. However we never had any issues in waiting. There are two on each floor. There's a nice bar that is beer and wine only one the first floor. Breakfast in the morning and there's a large shared balcony, court yard and fire pit area also. Another thing to remember is you have to park and walk up to this pretty house. Oh and say hi to the ghosts, lol.

Why it's Haunted

The Oliver House in Bisbee, Arizona stands as Arizona’s most actively haunted hotel, where 27 documented deaths within the 1908 mining executive building created a supernatural concentration that makes Room 13 the epicenter of encounters with Nathaniel ‘Nat’ Anderson, who was shot between the eyes by a debtor during a heated argument.

Built in 1909 as offices for Calumet & Arizona Mining Company executives and later converted to a boarding house for miners, the Oliver House preserved the violent emotions and tragic deaths that characterized Bisbee’s dangerous copper mining era through the early 1900s. Room 13 houses Nat Anderson’s restless spirit, while the hotel’s other supernatural residents include Billy, the playful ghost of an 8-year-old boy who drowned in the San Pedro River after spending his childhood beloved by guests and staff throughout the hotel’s corridors. The Blue Room harbors the violent energy of a jealous cop’s murdering spree, the Grandma Room hosts the calm spirit of an elderly woman, and the Purple Sage Room features doors and windows that open and close independently, demonstrating the variety of paranormal personalities that inhabit this mining town landmark.

Phantom footsteps echo through empty corridors while spectral parties emanate from unoccupied rooms, ghostly maintenance work sounds through long-removed pipes, and icy cold spots materialize even during Arizona’s desert heat, creating an environment so actively haunted that Ghost Adventures, The Travel Channel, and Discovery Channel have featured the property. The Oliver House operates as a bed and breakfast where the living and spirit world coexist in what management describes as ‘happy synchronicity,’ offering paranormal investigations and comfortable accommodations where 26 deaths created one of the American Southwest’s most documented supernatural destinations.

Copper Queen Hotel

Copper Queen Hotel - Bisbee

Address: 11 Howell Ave, Bisbee, AZ 85603

Phenomenons reported: Prostitute suicide, drowning tragedy, phantom cigar smoke, TV/coin manipulation

Janet French
I was excited to finally make it here to the Copper Queen and I’m still excited but finding parking is awful. The restaurant was closed today and I had to walk around town for a restaurant. Everything is pretty much uphill, the elevator is over a 100 years old and it works when it wants to. To tell you I was kinda afraid to get in it, so walking up 4 flights of stairs was no picnic. To tell you the truth I’m on the fence about making a recommendation? But being here is one of the haunted hotels I wanted to visit so I guess it’s okay I’m staying in Billy’s room which is supposed to be haunted the room is nice. Hopefully we will have a good night sleep after all our driving today.
Trinity Kearns
Location is amazing and the most scary and haunted thing about this place is its severly the price is inflated for what you get. They say theres an ice machine on second floor....there isn't, we asked where should we get water from(usually next to ice machines are water dispensers), the front desk staff said use the tap water from sink bathroom 🤢. There mold and lots of issues with the bathroom, as well as an ominously creaky tub that feels like its going to break. I honestly haven't really enjoyed my stay. Its not worth it just go elsewhere 😮‍💨 its cool to look at and awww and ohhh at but stay elsewhere please. I booked it for one night and im thanking myself for only doing one night.
Linda V
I am a 72-year-old whose daughters arranged a double-room family stay for Dec. 21, 2024. It never occurred to us to inquire about handicapped accommodations, and when we arrived we discovered the vintage elevator was out of order, and we were on the 4th floor! It was a real challenge, but I left my walker in the lobby and made it all the way up... But when it sank in how many times I’d have to scale those stairs, it became pretty daunting. The receptionist had offered a lower floor room for me, but my daughters had hoped we could remain together. (We were excited about sharing a haunted experience!) Randy, the General Manager, had assisted me earlier that afternoon and was so gracious... By night-time he saw how tired I was and arrived at a solution around both stairs and parking. Then he offered us a room on the 2nd floor next to the drawing room. AND, it was an upgrade to boot. We accepted his proposal with gratitude! He also gave my daughter a $35 credit towards our next stay. We were overjoyed, and will definitely return. Thank you, Randy.

Why it's Haunted

Copper Queen Hotel in Bisbee, Arizona stands as Arizona’s longest continuously operating hotel since 1902, where the tragic spirit of Julia Lowell continues her eternal residence in Room 315 after taking her own life when her beloved client rejected her desperate confession of love.

Built by the Phelps Dodge Corporation from 1898 to 1902 to accommodate investors and dignitaries visiting the copper mines, the hotel has accumulated sixteen documented spirits who create such intense paranormal activity that staff maintains a logbook filled with guests’ supernatural encounters. Julia Lowell’s ghost appears only to male guests in the renamed Julia Lowell Room, where she whispers in sleeping men’s ears, tickles their feet, rips off bed covers, and dances provocatively at the foot of stairs, her desperate search for masculine affection continuing beyond death in the hotel where she once worked as a prostitute.

The hotel’s supernatural residents include Billy, a playful child spirit who drowned and whose body was brought back to the hotel, where he now moves coins around, changes TV channels, hangs out in the dining room, and cries when guests run bath water, triggering memories of his tragic drowning. The mysterious Cigar Man materializes on the fourth floor wearing a top hat and black cape, his phantom tobacco aroma preceding and following his appearances despite the hotel’s strict no-smoking policy, while other documented spirits create phenomena that earned the hotel features on Ghost Hunters and Ghost Adventures. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and hosting famous guests including Nancy Reagan, John McCain, and Julia Roberts, the Copper Queen Hotel embraces its supernatural reputation with staff readily acknowledging that ‘every room here is haunted,’ making this Victorian villa-style establishment a premier destination for paranormal enthusiasts seeking encounters with Arizona’s most documented collection of benevolent mining town spirits.

Darlene Wilson
Matt and Karen are the perfect host to this beautiful renovated hotel. Absolutely stunning. The rooms are so big and roomy. It's like you have stepped back in time when you enter this hotel. They have worked hard restoring this hotel. I was there with friends and everyone had a wonderful stay. Relaxing, elegant and beautiful. I will be back in April with people from my tour and we have booked all the rooms. I want everyone to see how spectacular this place is. And meet Matt and Karen. So kind, friendly and helpful. I was there scoping out the town for my Haunted Arizona Tour in April and was extremely pleased with the whole town and the nicest people you would ever want to meet. As far as the Clifton Hotel, I would stay there again and again.

Why it's Haunted

Clifton Hotel in Clifton, Arizona stands on the Devil’s Highway (U.S. Route 191, formerly Route 666) within what residents claim is ‘the most haunted community you’ve never heard of,’ where phantom cigar smoke and old-fashioned perfume create olfactory hauntings that even skeptical co-owner Karen Frye cannot explain.

Built in 1890 by a local judge and his wife, the hotel houses the violent spirit of a murdered dancer whose boyfriend killed her on the exact spot where the restrooms now stand, her ghostly perfume still detectable near the bar despite no logical source for the floral scent.

The hotel’s paranormal activity includes phantom cigar smoke in the parlor room when no guests are present, mysterious screaming echoing through empty corridors, shadow figures moving past witnesses, and disembodied footsteps that accompany the ghostly apparitions reported throughout this former cowboy establishment. Clifton itself has earned such a reputation for supernatural encounters that the Ghost Hunters television team was invited to investigate the hotel, jail, and Elk’s Lodge, while multiple paranormal investigation groups have documented the town’s extraordinary concentration of unexplained phenomena. The hotel’s location on the infamously cursed Devil’s Highway adds an additional layer of supernatural significance, as this stretch of road has accumulated decades of accident reports and mysterious occurrences that enhance the already intense paranormal activity within Clifton’s haunted business district. Two-hour Haunted History Walking Tours begin after sundown on weekends, allowing visitors to experience the Wild West mining town’s reputation as Arizona’s most supernaturally active community.

Haunted Hotels in Grand Canyon Village, AZ

El Tovar Hotel

Haunted hotel El Tovar Hotel - Grand Canyon Village

Address: 1 El Tovar Rd, Grand Canyon Village, AZ 86023

Phenomenons reported: Founder apparition, hospitality service, Harvey Girl in black dress

Elliot Alonso
The historic feel of the place is amazing if your into that. But this is the thing. I didn't see anyone else say anything about it on other reviews but this place is indeed haunted. Felt bad energy in our room all night and lights , TV and other things turn on without even being plugged in. The room was a bit small and beds were hard. The restaurant in this place though expensive is AMAZING. One of the best restaurants I've ever been in and the view is breath taking. But if your not into the old timey 1930s type of lodge then don't go here.
Mryna Johnson
Can’t beat El Tovar. This historic hotel is next to the rim and has a very large restaurant that is great for dinner (need reservations). The shuttle stop is below the hotel and across from the Grand Canyon Railway station. My friend got a room with a balcony that had a slice view of the canyon. The room was clean and neat with two queen beds and a decent size bathroom for a historic hotel. I’ve stayed here previously and the room was also nice. My friend got a ghost bonus as well. So jelly. Not uncommon there but I haven’t been that lucky. They gave her a large paranormal discount off her room bill. Excellent service and a ghost discount. Can’t beat that at all!
David Maddison
We had a last minute booking whilst driving through the area but really loved our stay at El Tovar. The hotel was cosy and historic - the perfect place to warm up out of the snow. We stayed in 6465 and had a haunting experience during the night which added to the experience. In addition to ghosts, the views here are absolutely unparalleled- Loved it

Why it's Haunted

El Tovar Hotel at the Grand Canyon stands as one of Arizona’s most haunted locations, where the spirit of Fred Harvey, founder of the Harvey Company and designer of the historic 1905 establishment, continues his eternal stewardship by strolling hallways and gazing at the canyon from the front stairs just 20 feet from the South Rim. Built as part of the Fred Harvey Company chain to serve railroad passengers visiting the Grand Canyon, the hotel has accumulated over a century of supernatural activity, with guests and employees consistently reporting phantom figures wandering across the front stairs and property before vanishing into thin air.

The hotel grounds include the grave of a young Harvey Girl who once worked at the establishment, her spirit appearing as a figure clad in a long black dress with black cape and veil, standing near her burial site or walking the property in eternal service to the guests she once served. Harvey’s benevolent presence particularly favors the third floor, where he appears as a well-dressed gentleman welcoming visitors to holiday celebrations, while his ghostly form demonstrates the dedication to hospitality that characterized his life’s work in creating the Southwest’s premier hotel and restaurant empire.

Guest encounters include mysterious presences pulling at clothing in the middle of the night, gray-bearded faces peering from television sets, unexplained lights appearing and disappearing in rooms without guest control, and paintings with eyes that seem to follow viewers throughout the hotel corridors. The hotel’s location perched on the canyon’s edge amplifies the spiritual energy, where the dramatic natural setting and historic character combine with Fred Harvey’s ongoing oversight to create paranormal encounters that have been documented by guests for decades. El Tovar Hotel represents the unique convergence of American hospitality history and natural wonder, where Fred Harvey and his Harvey Girl continue their eternal service in one of the nation’s most spiritually significant locations.

Jerome Grand Hotel

Jerome Grand Hotel - Jerome haunted hotel in arizona

Address: 200 Hill St, Jerome, AZ 86331

Phenomenons reported: Elevator murder mystery, miner/businessman suicides, maintenance ghost, phantom cat

Not for Bubs
An amazing place to stay in. We were made to feel welcome from the moment we walked in the door until we checked out in the morning. The hotel itself was a pleasure to spend time in, the room was more than big enough and felt homely. We came to Jerome primarily to stay at this hotel as we had read about it's history and the ghosts that haunt the place and although I didn't personally experience anything my two friends did. When we come back to Arizona next and to Jerome we will definitely stay here again.

The Asylum Restaurant & Jerome Grand Hotel – Haunted Elegance in Arizona’s Ghost Town Perched high on the rugged hills of Jerome, Arizona, the Jerome Grand Hotel is a hauntingly beautiful destination that blends history, charm, and breathtaking views. Housed in what was once a hospital built in the 1920s, the hotel exudes character and mystery, all while offering a surprisingly warm and welcoming stay. The restoration of this historic building is nothing short of remarkable. It’s clear that every detail has been approached with thoughtful care—maintaining its vintage soul while ensuring comfort for modern guests. You can feel the history in the creaking floorboards and see it in the architecture, yet everything feels sturdy, clean, and lovingly preserved. The Asylum Restaurant, nestled within the hotel, mirrors this balance of elegance and simplicity. The menu is light and clean—perhaps a bit limited—but every dish is prepared with fresh ingredients and an eye for presentation. It’s a fitting culinary complement to the ethereal ambiance of the hotel: refined, understated, and just a little mysterious. What truly elevates the experience are the panoramic views. Whether you’re dining at the Asylum or gazing from your room, the vistas of the Verde Valley stretch out in stunning layers of desert and sky. Sunset in Jerome is a moment to savor.
Jared Lesueur
OK, we didn’t stay here, but we hiked up here because it was on like some kind of like things to do in Jerome. And the cool thing is is this place was like used to be a hospital and I was expecting like this grand hotel but it really wasn’t that grand because the main entrance is where the emergency room used to be. But once I understood that it was actually really cool and the two ladies at the counter were the coolest people to talk to. They knew so much history we chatted for like 45 minutes. It felt like just about history there in Jerome and in the hospital and about ghosts and about giant centipedes. … Anyways, I think we wanna stay here sometime. It’s a little more money but I can see why because it’s such an amazing view and such historical building. Definitely an experience staying there

Why it's Haunted

Jerome Grand Hotel in Jerome, Arizona preserves the dark legacy of the United Verde Hospital, where Claude Harvey’s suspicious death under an elevator in 1935 created the building’s most persistent and mysterious haunting in what was once Arizona’s most modern medical facility.

Built in 1927 as a state-of-the-art hospital serving the copper mining community, the building operated until 1950 before closing when mine activity ceased, then remained in standby condition until 1971 before the Altherr family converted it into the Jerome Grand Hotel in 1996. Claude Harvey, the hospital’s maintenance man, was found pinned by the neck under the Otis elevator on April 3, 1935, but an autopsy revealed he was already dead when the elevator struck him, suggesting murder rather than accident, though the United Verde Copper Company avoided investigation to prevent liability and controversy. Harvey’s restless spirit continues his maintenance duties throughout the hotel, appearing as shadows against walls near the boiler room and basement areas, while the sounds of the creaking iron elevator echo through the building even when the elevator sits unused on the top floor, and staff working graveyard shifts hear him coughing and sneezing in the laundry room.

Room 32 earned recognition as the hotel’s most haunted space, where two suicides occurred—a wheelchair-bound miner who climbed the balcony and fell to his death, and a businessman who shot himself in the head—creating intense supernatural activity including self-opening bathroom doors and faucets that turn on full blast to awaken sleeping guests. Additional spirits include a 6-year-old boy who smiles at guests on the third floor before disappearing, a phantom cat that meows, hisses, and brushes against legs before vanishing, and apparitions of two ladies, one in white and another in a nurse’s uniform, plus a doctor in a long lab coat who represent the medical staff who never left their posts at Arizona’s most haunted former hospital.

Phenomenons reported: Playful spirit activity, doors slamming, spectral voices, headless miner searching

Rebecca Hasz
We stayed here on of all nights Halloween! And I for one can tell you that yes this B & B is indeed haunted! I didn't really believe in that sort of thing before, but I do now! We stayed in the Miners room because it had a smaller room off of the main room for my daughter! My husband wondered why workmen were allowed to work in the room above us all night! When we asked Jackie in the morning she started laughing, and then told us that there were no workmen in that room for several years! Also my husband seen me with my long brown hair in the bathroom on several occasions that night. Only one problem, I had gotten my hair cut very short earlier that day and dyed blonde! Also the radio started to play and I went and shut it off, again it started to play, well I unplugged it. That will fix it I thought! No way! It played softly even though it was unplugged! Freak me out, but never felt in danger, just very interesting! Breakfast was (pardon the pun!) out of this world! It was great fun and everywhere we went told people where we were staying, they all said "That's the best place in town!" I believe it! I want to go back when my husband and I renew our vows and stay at the Ghost City Inn, maybe just not on Halloween, although my daughter would love that! She will be my Maid of Honor and my husband loved the experience as well, I also thought that it was cool, but a little scary, but I'm a coward! Would give the Ghost City Inn a 10 star if I could! You must go and try it yourself!
Taylor Ryan
We had a lovely stay at the Ghost City Inn. We were a little disappointed because we had originally booked the Cleopatra Room since it was the most haunted but upon arrival were switched to regular room since the Cleopatra was having a sink fixed. However, we called and were kindly switched to the Miner's Suite which was very nice and spooky. The room was immaculately clean and comfortable. The bed was a little hard for my liking and the headlights from the main road contastly shined in the room, but it wasn't too bothersome and earplugs are kindly provided in the room. The view from the pation was stunning. The provided breakfast was tasty and warm and I loved the selection of hot beverages available in the lobby. Overall, it was a nice stay in a great location.
Tabitha Olad
Hotel room is very clean, not plus size friendly (if you are an XL or bigger wouldn't recommend) shower is so tiny (My husband is 6'3 big guy). Bed is on the extra firm side along with the pillows. Extra warning if you are used to setting your own room temperature you can not here. The room gets super warm at night (room temp on wall said 78 in my room) when I called to complain the lady said it's set to 70°but zero air was coming out of the vent so it was a sleepless night for me. If you are looking for a haunted or spooky vibe this isn't the place. Just a clean place to lay your head is how I would describe the hotel. Jerome is a beautiful city so worth the discomfort.

Why it's Haunted

Ghost City Inn in Jerome, Arizona operates within the heart of a copper mining town where 88 miles of underground mineshafts created a death trap that claimed thousands of miners, whose spirits earned Jerome the affectionate title of ‘Ghost City’ that gives this 1890 boarding house its supernatural name.

Built around 1890 to house middle mine management during Jerome’s copper boom, the inn later served the Garcia family for over 50 years before its 1994 conversion into a bed and breakfast, accumulating layers of human experience that manifest in the Cleopatra Hill room’s playful female spirit who frequently makes her presence known to guests.

The inn’s paranormal residents include a male spirit spotted in the hallway outside the Verde View Room and various entities responsible for doors slamming shut on their own and spectral voices heard when no living persons occupy the building. Jerome’s mining legacy provides the tragic foundation for the supernatural activity, as dangerous copper extraction claimed countless lives in accidents that left spirits like ‘Headless Charlie,’ who was decapitated in a mining mishap and continues searching for his missing head after his body was never recovered. The Ghost City Inn serves as a headquarters for experiencing Jerome’s concentrated paranormal energy, where the building’s history as an ashram, restaurant, and family residence between its mining and hospitality eras created emotional imprints that combine with the town’s mining tragedy to produce encounters that have earned recognition from Arrington Journal as a ‘Best Weekend Get-Away in America.’ Visitors to this Arizona ghost town can experience both comfortable accommodations and supernatural encounters within a community so thoroughly haunted that its very nickname celebrates the omnipresence of spirits who refuse to abandon their copper mining posts.

My boyfriend and I came here for my birthday. The hotel staff are so sweet! I had a paranormal experience here and I loved it. Pat was so awesome and told us stories of hauntings. The rooms are clean and vintage. There are lots of restaurants around there but the Cup Cafe inside was incredibly delicious! Highly recommend it! We plan on staying here again for my boyfriend’s birthday.
Statia
This historic hotel has great bones, great charm, and is wonderfully attired in beautiful turn of the century antiques and decor. It is walking distance to theaters, shops and restaurants in the old pueblo. My daughter and I throughly enjoyed our stay here, but there are things you should know before booking. On the plus side, there are two wonderful and highly rated restaurants on site. The beds are comfy and rooms are quaint and historically appointed. But be aware, the underground parking is across the street, so be prepared to haul your luggage. Also be prepared to haul it up stairs. There are bellhops should you need help for that. |You are down town, and it's busy! Music, trains, traffic and the clang clang clang of the trolly. We slept with windows open and I found all the city sounds exciting. Upon check in you will be offered ear plugs, but there are no refunds due to city noise, so know in advance. |If ghost hunting is your thing, know that there are 3 or 4 rooms that are reportedly| haunted, but they are popular and you must request them when you book. |In conclusion, I would stay there again. I enjoyed my stay at the Hotel Congress, and the restaurants.
Larry Coons
Old hotel with two nightclubs downstairs. A radio station is in one of the windows. Old furniture, neat gimmicks. Definitely not haunted though, which is why I came. Shoulda paid attention to the "club" reviews. I cancelled one of two nights. Parking across the street when the garage is full is hella sketch because its a dude with a podium that doesn't hand out receipts. I tossed him a sixer but very strange place. The vibe in Tucson right now is very much like all the losers from Seattle in the nineties had kids and moved here. Grungy with a heavy millennial feel. All the bars and restaurants pat you down to get in. Must be hella sketch. Im out after the Pima museum tomorrow.

Why it's Haunted

Hotel Congress in Tucson, Arizona earned notoriety as one of America’s most haunted hotels through its connection to John Dillinger’s infamous gang, whose capture after a 1934 hotel fire created the foundation for decades of supernatural activity in the 1919 establishment. The January 21, 1934 basement fire that spread through the elevator shaft forced Dillinger and his gang to evacuate, leaving behind thousands of dollars in robbery proceeds that they tipped firemen $12 each to retrieve, inadvertently exposing their identities when firefighter William Benedict later recognized them in True Detective magazine and alerted authorities.

Room 242 serves as the hotel’s most haunted space, where a woman’s suicide created such intense paranormal activity that the room has become legendary among ghost hunters, while Rooms 219 and 214 generate additional supernatural encounters, with Room 214 known as the ‘suicide room’ following a shotgun death that continues to traumatize guests.

The hotel’s diverse collection of spirits includes child ghosts who play in hallways when no children are registered guests, a former gangster named T.S. in a pinstripe suit who watches from second-story windows, and a woman in black who haunts the reception staircase while emanating the scent of roses. Additional supernatural residents include a dedicated maid’s ghost who continues delivering towels and turning down beds, and a WWII veteran who haunts the bar area, sitting at his favorite spot where he once spun war tales, manipulating the jukebox volume to reflect his musical preferences by turning up favorite songs and down others he dislikes. Featured on Ghost Adventures and offering séance experiences, Hotel Congress continues operating as downtown Tucson’s premier haunted destination, where staff report that guests frequently flee their rooms after 2 AM due to figures standing over beds, uneasy feelings, and mysterious noises that make the hotel a cornerstone of American paranormal tourism.

Just did a staycation here because of the history of the hotel and the Haunted history. Rooms were really old fashioned looking as expected and was pretty clean as I asked for my room to be extra clean. This service was good and Tony the manager was great. We both shared experiences of Ghost here and he took me on a tour including the old well. Oh and yes I did experience paranormal things here both times including a full apparition that appeared in front of me in the pool and balcony area. If you like Ghost and Old Hotels with a history this is your place

We didnt encounter any ghosts or bad vibes. The room was nice, clean and small. Old but well kept. Our room had a nice smell, didnt smell old like you might expect. Sheets were crisp an clean. Nice tv with regular cable. Old charm with fixtures and furniture well kept. Pool was closed for renovation. The outside patio needed some fixing but wasnt bad. Our room had a nice city view. Pretty great for the age. There is a ghost tour on Saturday night. We weren't there at that time but I think it would be fun. I can see where it might feel haunted.
Andy Biesemeyer
If you want a comfortable, cool and clean place to stay, don’t stay here. If you want to stay at a really cool supposedly haunted place, this might be the place for you. Staff were incredibly friendly but we ended up checking out after our first night because we don’t enjoy sleeping on bricks for mattresses and pillows. There is AC but there is no AC you can control and it was too hot to sleep. It was weirdly humid in the hotel and there was a smell…. Due to the age of the place and it being a historic site I can’t say this was entirely unexpected but still just outside of what I might consider acceptable. Overall I guess it’s a cool spot to look at but definitely skip the stay. Did not encounter and ghosts.

Why it's Haunted

Hotel San Carlos in Phoenix, Arizona preserves the tragic story of Leone Jensen, the 22-year-old woman who jumped to her death from the seven-story building on May 7, 1928, creating one of Arizona’s most documented and emotionally complex hotel hauntings.

Leone’s suicide note revealed a story of physical abuse by her bellboy boyfriend at the Westward Ho hotel, combined with serious health concerns including difficulty breathing and weakness that suggest she may have come to Phoenix seeking tuberculosis treatment, as the city was a renowned destination for patients with the lung disease in the 1920s. Leone’s wispy white apparition appears most frequently on the staircase of the seventh floor, as if eternally walking toward her final moments, while her ghostly figure has been witnessed in hallways by numerous hotel employees who describe her as a strange female presence that continues to inhabit the space where she died.

Built in 1928 on the site of Phoenix’s first school, Little Adobe, which operated from 1873 to 1916, the hotel stands on land that was originally Native American worshiping grounds, adding layers of spiritual significance to its haunted reputation. The hotel houses additional supernatural residents including a little girl ghost, possibly six to nine years old, who visits guest rooms at night to sit crying, while other witnesses report children’s laughter and running sounds echoing through hallways and the basement. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 and featured on Ghost Adventures and the Travel Channel’s World Travels, Hotel San Carlos has earned recognition as one of the most haunted places in Arizona, where Leone Jensen and other spirits ensure that some guests never truly check out of this downtown Phoenix landmark.

Phenomenons reported: Victorian woman apparition, bed pinning, perfume scents, elevator phenomena

Joe Dennis
Great place to stay, friendly staff; only complaint is cause it's legit haunted; like I literally didn't ask for ghosts or paranormal activity; insert "ugh" w/ eyeroll
Tiffany Hatchel
Very interesting hotel! The elevator is very old but it is extremely cool to see how elevators where so long ago. The original wood and wall paper are absolutely gorgeous. The hallways are a little too dark but that's probably to make it feel more haunted or something. The staff is really cool and will let you walk around the hotel to see everything for yourself! We walked through and took some pictures of everything. Theybalso have a Cafe and small shops attached to the hotel! Very cute and intriguing!
Desert Angie
It's an old historic building with old rooms. If you want a quiet room... Do NOT get city view or room 211 which is right above the front desk and Bistro facing the Gurley Street. The Bistro downstairs likes to play music at 6:51am and the bass was incredible even for my club kid at heart but not at 7am... Ask the front desk for earplugs which I think they should just be provided in rooms that are noisy rooms regardless. Party Miami hotels do it. At least you would know what you're in for. We did NOT know what we were in for...we wanted to be on the main drag which I get would be noisier BUT the Bistro jamming out at 6:51am was not great since we didn't roll in until 2am and maybe fell asleep around 2:30am. Front desk is as nice as they come... I can't say anything terrible about them... But maybe the noisy rooms need to come with earplugs so an additional trip doesn't need to be made downstairs. Our room faced Gurley Street where people like to cruise and walk to bars and it literally felt like you were staying on Bourbon Street during Mardi gras... Bass from cars and motorcycles and partying patrons set the mood for going out. But I think they oughtta at least seal the window panes as they rattle from the vibrations of the passing cars. It's an old building I get it... But little things like that can be fixed with some caulk of clear silicone for cheap. We had friends that stayed in rooms that were on the inside and they were happy because they didn't hear any noises like we did... But live and learn. I'm not going to rate it a 1 star bc the front desk was super nice and tried to remedy the bass from the Bistro the best they could. The shower was hot and pressure was great. But don't say I didn't warn you about specifying you want to sleep in the quiet part of the hotel if that is what you want. Cool old @ss building. Feels like it could be haunted... But I didn't see or feel anything but the bass from the Bistro.

Why it's Haunted

Hotel St. Michael in Prescott, Arizona stands as the cornerstone of historic Whiskey Row since 1901, where the ghostly presence of Mary continues her eternal residence in Room 315, appearing in Victorian-era corset and bustle skirt while emanating powerful perfume scents that permeate the third floor corridor. Built to replace the Hotel Burke after the devastating 1900 fire, the hotel was constructed complete with protective gargoyles around the exterior to safeguard guests, serving Prescott during its era as Arizona Territory’s inaugural capital when legendary figures like Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday frequented the notorious Whiskey Row establishments.

Room 315 has earned recognition as the hotel’s most haunted space, where Mary’s spirit creates such intense supernatural encounters that guests report being pinned to their beds by invisible forces, leading some visitors to flee and vow never to return to the establishment. The hotel houses Arizona’s oldest elevator, a 1925 Otis Traction Elevator that serves as another focal point for paranormal activity, with strange happenings reported in and around the historic lift that was the first elevator installed in Prescott.

Additional supernatural phenomena include footsteps echoing through empty hallways, the persistent sensation of being watched by unseen presences, and ghostly energies that staff and management flatly deny despite overwhelming guest testimonials documenting decades of encounters. Notable guests including Teddy Roosevelt, Barry Goldwater, Zane Grey, and Tom Mix have stayed at the hotel, which continues operating while maintaining what many consider a deliberate secrecy about its haunted reputation. Hotel St. Michael represents the perfect convergence of Wild West history and Victorian-era tragedy, where Mary’s spirit and other entities from Arizona Territory’s frontier period continue their residence in Prescott’s most documented paranormally active accommodation, making it a destination where the living coexist with travelers from the past who refuse to check out.

Haunted Hotels in Oatman, AZ

Oatman Hotel Restaurant & Bar

Oatman Hotel Restaurant & Bar Haunted Hotels in Oatman Arizona

Address: 181 Main St, Oatman, AZ 86433

Phenomenons reported: Hollywood honeymoon legend, whispering/laughing, poltergeist activity

Lisa Benson
If you are ever in the area of Oatman, AZ, don't miss this little tourist town with wild burros that love to be petted and fed. We were told not to feed them carrots and only to feed them the feed they sell at most stores for a reasonable price. Don't feed the baby donkeys with tags taped to their heads. They are still nursing and can choke on the burro feed and carrots. Oatman is a ghost town and the Oatman Hotel is where Clark Gable spent his honeymoon with Carole Lombard. The hotel is also supposed to be haunted. The hotel has a great bar and a cafe. If there is room at the bar and your party is all adults, eat at the bar. The food is pretty good for a ghost town.
Cat K
Ok Folks, if you've never been, you have got to go to the old mining town of Oatman, Arizona and see the old Oatman hotel and have an ice cream cone or step into the bar/restaurant on the other side and check out all the bills attached everywhere from the walls to the ceiling! The hotel is said to be haunted but we didn't get to meet the ghost ☺ The gals working at the Oatman are friendly and a wealth of knowledge about local history and legend. The town is definitely touristy but if you have never been to a historical town that has wild donkeys roaming the streets, you are missing out on a fun time! The shops have some neat things and reasonably priced! You can even get some "burro" food for a buck and feed the donkeys yourself! Can't wait to go back.
Happy Havasu
Love this place! Its haunted and the ghosts name is Odie! He turns on the beer tap when your not looking ! Lol

Why it's Haunted

Oatman Hotel in Oatman, Arizona preserves the legendary romance of Hollywood stars Clark Gable and Carole Lombard, whose alleged honeymoon stay on March 29, 1939, created such powerful emotional imprints that their spirits continue celebrating their eternal love in the historic 1902 gold mining establishment.

Built during the height of Oatman’s gold boom as the Durlin Hotel before being renamed in the late 1960s, the property served the Wild West mining community along what would become famous Route 66, accumulating layers of human experience that manifest in the whispering and laughing voices of the celebrity couple heard from empty rooms. While historical controversy surrounds whether Gable and Lombard actually stayed at the hotel, the legend has become so embedded in the building’s supernatural identity that guests and staff consistently report the pair’s ghostly presence, their love story continuing beyond death in the refurbished Gable/Lombard Room that has been restored to reflect their era.

The hotel houses additional supernatural residents including Oatie, believed to be the friendly spirit of William Ray Flour, an Irish miner who died behind the hotel and continues his benevolent presence throughout the property, while the saloon hosts playful poltergeists who lift glasses into the air and raise money off the bar in displays of otherworldly mischief. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, the Oatman Hotel no longer offers overnight accommodations but operates as a restaurant, bar, and museum where visitors experience mysterious whispering, disembodied voices, and objects moving on their own. The hotel represents the perfect convergence of Hollywood glamour and Wild West mining heritage, where the disputed but persistent legend of Clark Gable and Carole Lombard’s honeymoon has created one of Arizona’s most romantically haunted destinations along the historic Route 66 corridor.

Weatherford Hotel

Weatherford Hotel Haunted Hotels in Flagstaff Arizona

Address: 23 N Leroux St, Flagstaff, AZ 86001

Phenomenons reported: Murder-suicide, arguing voices, floating woman, moving photograph, door knocking

Kailee Prescher
Hotel monte vista messed up our reservation so the Weatherford made accommodations for us quickly. Bailey at the front desk was extremely helpful, sweet and friendly. The room itself was tiny and most definitely haunted. I did not sleep, due to the whispering in my ear, lights flickering and feeling of being watched. If you’re looking to stay somewhere haunted, this is the spot.
Melissa Morrison
This was the last stop on our Freaky Foot Tour in downtown Flagstaff. Such a unique place! Loved the bar on the third floor and the haunted history of the hotel. Bartenders were great as were the mixed drinks. Will definitely come back and possibly stay in the hotel during our next visit.
Debra Berry
Stopped in for lunch at the Weatherfood .The history and ambience made dining a delight. Food was ample ,tasty and well served w minimal wait. The staff was personable and professional and very knowledgeable. The halloween decor was delightful for this haunted hotel eatery. History written on the menu cover was worth reading. Fun afternoon in Old Flagstaff 😁

Why it's Haunted

Weatherford Hotel in Flagstaff, Arizona stands as one of the Southwest’s most haunted landmarks since opening on New Year’s Day 1900, where the tragic murder-suicide of a honeymoon couple in Room 54 during the 1930s created the hotel’s most persistent and emotionally charged paranormal activity.

The honeymoon suite tragedy unfolded when severe blizzard conditions separated the couple, leading the bride to believe her husband had died while hunting, causing her to hang herself in despair only for the groom to return and discover her body before shooting himself with his rifle in overwhelming grief. Room 54 has since been converted to a storage closet, but the couple’s angry voices continue echoing from the space while their full-bodied apparitions are witnessed entering the room despite it remaining empty, demonstrating how violent emotional trauma can transcend physical space modifications.

The Zane Grey Ballroom serves as another supernatural epicenter, where a ghostly woman floats across the room near the antique Brunswick bar from Tombstone, while one employee witnessed the people in a 1908 photograph moving fluidly like a movie until he fled in terror. The hotel’s paranormal residents also include a phantom bellhop who roams the hallways knocking on guest doors, a spirit connected to the hotel’s famous guest John Wayne during his frequent stays while filming Westerns on the nearby reservation. Built by John Weatherford as Flagstaff’s premier accommodation, the hotel embraces its supernatural reputation by offering discounts to guests who share their paranormal encounters, while rooms 42 and 59 generate the most documented activity among staff and visitors who report that despite the intense spiritual energy, the entities remain largely benevolent presences in this historic downtown landmark.

Why it's Haunted

Xanadu Ranch GetAway in Sonoita, Arizona sits as one of the area’s oldest homesteads dating back to 1912, where the property’s century-plus history and previous incarnations as a winery during the 1970s and 1980s have created layers of human experience that may harbor supernatural residues in Arizona’s wine country.

Named after Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s poem describing Kublai Khan’s dream-like summer residence, the ranch occupies a location rich with Old West heritage, situated near ghost towns like Tombstone and historic attractions that speak to the violent frontier past that characterizes southern Arizona’s haunted landscape. While specific documented paranormal activity at Xanadu Ranch itself remains elusive, the property’s strategic location places guests within easy reach of some of Arizona’s most notoriously haunted destinations, including the gunfighter ghosts of Tombstone and the mining spirits that populate the region’s abandoned settlements. The ranch’s transformation from homestead to winery to guest accommodation spans generations of human dreams, disappointments, and deaths that often create the emotional residue necessary for paranormal manifestations in Arizona’s desert climate.

Bernie and Karen Kauk’s acquisition and restoration of the property continues the cycle of hope and ambition that has characterized this land for over a century, while the surrounding area’s proximity to ghost towns and Wild West violence ensures that visitors experience the atmospheric tension between past and present that defines Arizona’s haunted heritage, making Xanadu Ranch a gateway to the supernatural Southwest.
