Sleep with the Spirits
New Orleans' haunted hotels offer more than just a place to rest - they provide intimate encounters with the city's supernatural residents. These historic properties have witnessed centuries of drama, tragedy, and mystery, leaving behind spirits who treat the hotels as their eternal homes. Unlike fleeting ghost tour encounters, staying in a haunted hotel means spending hours in the presence of the paranormal. You might share an elevator with a ghostly bellhop, find your belongings mysteriously rearranged, or wake to find a spectral figure watching from the foot of your bed. These hotels don't hide their hauntings - they embrace them, with staff who've learned to coexist with their supernatural colleagues. Each property has its unique cast of ghostly characters. From Civil War soldiers still standing guard to jazz musicians playing phantom concerts, from tragic lovers searching for each other to children who never grew up, these spirits have stories that unfold throughout your stay. Some hotels maintain logs of paranormal experiences, while others have rooms so active they're rarely rented to unsuspecting guests.
