1. Brown Palace Hotel – Denver, CO

A former Socialite, Louise Crawford, lived in room 904 for 15 years.  During a tour of her room the hotel operator began receiving phone calls from that very room with only static on the other end.  The room however was under a complete renovation and no furniture or phone was present in the room.

2. Oxford Hotel – Denver, CO

Oldest hotel in Denver, built in 1891, a few stories haunt this hotel.  There’s a story of a postman that disappeared and never made his Christmas deliveries, but apparently his ghost made it to the bar for a beer.  The bartender and guests saw a postman drink the beer and mutter something about needing to deliver the packages to the kids.  After his departure the glass was still full.  There is also a story of cheating wife and her husband that killed her in room 320.  Many male guests have noted seeing a woman in the middle of the night in that very room.

3. Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel – Los Angeles, CA

Many staff and guests have noticed odd appearances and sounds on the 9^th floor, especially in front of room 928, Montgomery Clift’s old room.  Also some eerie feelings might be felt if you stay in the Marylyn Monroe Suite in the Cabana Building.

4. Hotel del Coronado Resort - San Diego, CA

Kate Morgan checked into the Del back in 1892, and never checked out, awaiting the arrival of her husband for the Thanksgiving weekend.  Unfortunately he never arrived, but she was found dead on the beach of the hotel.  Since then there have been random sittings of her ghost wearing a black lace dress.  Room 3502 seems to experience a large amount of paranormal activity.

5. Hotel Union Square – San Francisco, CA

Many mischievous and random objects appear in room 207.  This has been attributed to the haunting of Lillian Hellman’s ghost.  A vivacious woman who is rumored to have seduced a very young man the night she died at age 79.

6. Omni Parker House – Boston, MA

Given this hotels age a wide range of paranormal activity has been sited.  The third floor has seen especially a lot of odd happenings such as elevators traveling to this floor even though no buttons were pushed.  A famous actress died in her room on this floor in 1876, and a business man died in room 303.  Although the room is now a closet guests and staff used to complain of laughter and cigar smoke coming from this room.  Most recently a few guests have complained of seeing the ghost of Henry Parker, deceased (1884) hotel founder, and his inquiry into how they were enjoying their stay.

7. Palace Hotel – San Francisco, CA

The Palace, one of San Francisco’s oldest properties, is well known for its ghostly guests.  A long list of famous people have stayed and died at the Palace, including former President Warren Harding (while in office).  The body of King Kalakaua spent one night at the Palace after he died in 1891.  Romances have ended tragically at The Palace.  Guests and hotel employees alike have countless stories of ghosts that have never checked out of The Palace Hotel San Francisco, including that of the “Lady in Red” ghost who often haunts male guests in certain parts of the hotel.

8. Omni Shoreham Hotel – Washington, DC

Two mysterious deaths haunt this hotel and both occurred in the presidential suite.  In 1930 the head of housekeeping was staying in this suite with the owner’s family and died in the middle of the night while reaching for the phone.  Shortly after that the owner’s child, Helene, died in the same suite.  Guests staying in room 864, right next to the housekeeper’s room, have complained of noise in the middle of the night, when the room was unoccupied.

9. Renaissance Mayflower Hotel – Washington, DC

President Calvin Coolidge was to attend an inaugural ball here back in 1925, but missed it due to the death of his teenage soon.  It seems his ghost is still trying to make the ball.  Every January 20^th at 10:00 pm the lights dim and flicker in the grand ballroom and an elevator goes to the 8^th floor and stops there for a time.  10:00 is the time at which the ball was due to start, and the 8^th floor was the floor the late President’s room was on.

10. Biltmore Hotel – Coral Gables, FL

Famous hotel built in the early 1920’s was converted to a VA Hospital during WWII, no telling how many deaths have occurred in this hotel.  Room 702 has problems with wet spots randomly appearing on the carpet.  Al Capone crony, Fats Walsh, was murdered at this hotel in the famous suite.  His ghost is said to haunt the hotel, sometimes the elevator ascends to the 13^th floor suite without any buttons being pushed or the security key.

1. The Regent Bal Harbour – Miami, Fl

We can’t say enough about this hotel. These are the most luxurious bathrooms we have ever seen! Each bathroom has a window with a beautiful ocean view, a deep soaking tub, and an oversized rain shower. Although the hotel grounds are amazing with a spa, pool, and semi-private beach, it’s still going to be rather hard to leave this bathroom.

a

2. St. Regis – San Francisco, CA

These bathrooms are modern, large, and extremely well designed. All rooms have a large rain shower and separate tub but the “01″ 2 Double Bed Rooms feature an oversized bathroom. The King Bed Rooms can be private but can also open up to the entire room depending on which mood you want to set…if you know what we mean.

3. The Mansion on Peachtree – Atlanta, GA

Beautiful marble bathrooms that make you feel at home. Each feature a window allowing in natural light, and a separate bathroom and tub. The “01″ rooms feature an oversized bathroom that is rather exceptional. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

4. Park Hyatt Washington – Washington, DC.

Large open marble shower and bathtub area, a little unsettling at first, but rather liberating when you realize you’re taking a shower in a uniquely designed open space.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

5. The London NYC – New York City, NY

Come to bathroom Heaven in this New York Hotel. Designed by WaterWorks and set completely in mosaic tile, these bathrooms feature a double shower (2 separate shower heads). The “07″ and “10″ Rooms have a regular sized shower and a separate tub, as seen in the photo.  You’ll never complain about New York Hotel Bathrooms after staying here.

a

6. The Ritz-Carlton – Denver, CO

This new Ritz-Carlton (one would never believe it was an Embassy Suites) melds the rustic outdoorsy feel of Colorado and the modern sophistication of Ritz-Carlton in a beautiful and seamless fashion. These bathrooms are large with a separate walk-in shower and bathtub, and a rather seductive lighting motif.

a

7. Palazzo Hotel & Casino – Las Vegas, NV

The new tower at the Venetian and one of the best rooms on the strip. These bathrooms are a great place to relax and drown out the noise of Las Vegas. They’ve managed to create a private oasis in their bathrooms, and what better place to get pretty before going out.

a

8. Wynn Las Vegas – Las Vegas, NV

We know there are other great Bathrooms in Las Vegas hotels, but this is the next best on the list. Especially the Suites; rival most bathrooms we’ve seen in Presidential Suites. In the standard category room, you’ll find a well appointed bathroom with a separate shower and tub.

9. W Minneapolis, The Foshay – Minneapolis, MN

Our Favorite W Hotel. All the bathrooms are exquisitely stylish and feature a walk in shower, but a few of them have very unique window configurations (see Room 2006, 2106, 2206). Due to the 57 different room types, this hotel features, be sure to check the hotel profile here to make sure you get the best.

10. Hotel 1000 – Seattle, WA

Extremely modern hotel with all the technology you would ever want. The bathrooms feature a separate shower and tub, but the bathtub is unique in that it fills up from an opening in the ceiling. We especially like the “02″ Grand Luxe Rooms that have an oversized bathroom with a window.
