			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/img/book_hotel_ignacio_saint_louis_st.jpg" alt="Book Hotel Ignacio Saint Louis" align="left" /><p>Not exactly a nightmare, but not for the skittish, all of these hotels and bed and breakfasts are known for reported hauntings. 1. Morse Mill Hotel, Jefferson County This old hotel, located at 8850 Morse Mill Spur Road, is a 1816 farmhouse, with famous guests like Clara Bow, Jesse James, Al Capone, and Charles Lindbergh. Also, Bertha Gifford, who lived and worked there at one point, was an infamous serial killer who poisoned children and adults with arsenic laced chocolates. There have been reportings of strange images caught on film, footsteps, voices, cold breezes, and apparitions through the years. Find out more about the hotel's history at 2. Hotel Bothwell, Sedalia This 1927 Jazz era hotel, located at 103 E. 4th Street, is the site of many reported hauntings. Ghost sightings, voices, and objects going missing are just some of them. A former worker reported scratches on the back of his neck coming from nowhere. There have also been doors opening and closing on their own, and a crank elevator working on it its own. The third floor in particular is said to be the most haunted. 3. The Elms Hotel, Excelsior Springs Harry S. Truman spent election night here in 1948. This 1912 hotel, located at 401 Regent Street, once had a basement where the lap pool now stands. Many ghost sightings down there have been reported, including the ghost of a man from speakeasy days who had been killed by the mob there, and a frantic woman looking for her child who might even pull hair or throw things. The help seems to be well supervised as well. The ghost of a young woman in a maid outfit appears to make sure the work is done right. 4. Prosperity School Bed and Breakfast, Joplin This former school stood empty for over 30 years before it was turned into a bed and breakfast. There have been reports of children running down the halls or shadowy figures and the ghost of a nurse. Perhaps creepiest are the guest reports of the sensation of a child crawling into bed with them in the middle of the night. Located at 4788 County Road 200. 5. Hotel Savoy, Kansas City This building built in 1888, located at 219 W. 9th Street, has a long history of supernatural occurrences. Room 505 was the location of the suspicious death of a woman named Betsy Ward, and reports of voices, shadows, doors opening and closing have all been reported in or near that room. On the second floor, in 1990, the restaurant manager was stabbed to death by his dishwashers, and there have been reports of the feeling of being watched in that area. There have also been EVP's and pictures showing orbs and figures including a little girl in Victorian clothing being spotted on the 4th floor.</p>]]></content:encoded>

The hotel offers New Mexico’s first indoor water park, in addition to the usual hotel amenities, such as wireless internet, in-room coffee, and a fitness center. Image by Octavio Ramos Jr. It is unclear why the Radisson Hotel is considered a haunted place, but there have been many eyewitness accounts of strange happenings in the hotel, particularly on the third floor. This floor has since been closed off after the hotel’s renovation, adding even more mystery to the place. Th...</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/img/in_its_element_new_green_built.jpg" alt="Schultz said the home touches" align="left" /><p>The Washington House hotel was built on the corner of 4th Street S. and Washington Avenue (later 1st Avenue S.), hence the name. The first owner of the hotel was John McDonnough. He began construction on the hotel in the summer of 1881, and completed in October of the same year. The 75 x 30 foot building was built by Brown &amp; Sons of St. Paul and constructed of bricks by Anderson Brick Company located in southwest Fargo. It opened on May 1, 1882. It was opened when Fargo was known and the “Divorce Capital” of the United States when residency requirement to begin divorce proceedings was ninety days. Many wealthy individuals from other states, particularly eastern states, and even from foreign countries traveled to Fargo to take up residency in order to obtain a divorce. Thus the hotel business was a very prosperous industry in Fargo during the 1880s and 1890s. When Mr. McDonnough died in November, 1883, his wife was left to operate the hotel. In 1885 she leased it to two men by the names of Thompson and Westland. They operated the hotel until the lease was turned over to Robert O’Brien. William J. Early and Alice B. Early took over the lease in 1894, and bought the hotel two years later. The Earlys installed a combination wood and coal burning steam heating plant in 1895. It was the only hotel in Fargo that had heat during the flood of 1897, since the basements of the other hotels in the city were flooded. It advertised, in 1899, rates of $1 to $1.50 per day with "good stabling" and "free bus to and from all trains." In 1910, the Earlys sold the hotel to Fred Bartholomew. Mr. Bartholomew in turn sold the hotel to Horace Russell, who in turn passed it on to his daughter, Mrs. Beth Farrar. The W. J. Lane Co. bought the hotel on October 9, 1944. The old hotel was sold to the Pure Oil Company, and they tore the building down in May 1953.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/img/the_langham_huntington_hotel_and_spa.jpg" alt="Attended the Ritz-Carlton" align="left" /><p>While stalking in Pasadena a few weeks ago I stopped into the Langham Huntington Hotel &amp; Spa to snap some pics. The Langham has long been a Pasadena institution and it is an absolutely gorgeous place to spend an afternoon or grab an evening cocktail. It is also an oft-used Pasadena filming location and celeb hang out. The Langham Hotel was originally built in 1907 and was known as the Wentworth. Never gaining much popularity under its original ownership, the property was sold to Henry E. Huntington in 1911, who hired renowned L.A. area architect Myron Hunt to renovate, expand, and improve the hotel. Three years later, in 1914, the Wentworth was reopened under its new name – the Huntington Hotel. Architect Myron Hunt is also known for designing the Rose Bowl, Occidental College, the California Institute of Technology, and Henry Huntington’s private home, which later became the museum known as the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens. After Myron’s renovations, the Huntington Hotel became an overnight success and it remained that way for more than seven decades. But in 1985, while under the ownership of the Sheraton Corporation, the Huntington had to be closed due to earthquake code violations. In 1987, the Ritz-Carlton Corporation purchased the property and, with a $100 million upgrade, brought it up to code. In 1990, the new Huntington Ritz-Carlton Hotel &amp; Spa opened its doors to the public. Just this year, the hotel was sold yet again – this time to Great Eagle Holdings who renamed it the Langham Huntington Hotel &amp; Spa. Even with all of the ownership changes, the Huntington remains the finest hotel in the Pasadena area. It also remains a favorite of both celebrities and location scouts alike.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/img/luxury_hotels_in_new_orleans.jpg" alt="New Orleans is one of the" align="left" /><p>In a large Beaux Arts building that was constructed in 1908, the Ritz-Carlton New Orleans attracts business travelers and tourists alike, thanks to its convenient location and high-end features. The common areas are decorated with a great deal of red and gold and feature straight-backed furniture and high ceilings. The internal courtyard gets lots of natural light, and includes large potted plants and trees along with several iron tables. It's also one of the few parts of the Ritz-Carlton where Wi-Fi is free (though the connection is not always reliable). The farm-to-table M Bistro and the Davenport Lounge bar are both popular with guests and locals alike, and there are live jazz performances several nights a week. The Ritz-Carlton also has an expansive reading room, with wood bookshelves, leather reading chairs, and red fabric couches - a classic design that almost makes you feel like you should be wearing a smoking jacket! Convenient location between the French Quarter and the Central Business District The Ritz-Carlton is ideally located on busy Canal Street, which separates the Central Business District from the French Quarter. This makes the hotel convenient for both business and leisure travelers. Bourbon Street is just a block away, and the city's convention center is about a 10-minute drive. There are plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance of the hotel, and a number of tram lines run in the median on Canal Street (called the "neutral ground" by locals). The airport takes just under 20 minutes to reach by car, traffic permitting. Extra-large, regally designed rooms with iPod docks and minibars The rooms at the Ritz-Carlton are extra large, and regally and colorfully designed in deep blues, purples, and golds. Even the Standard Rooms are large enough for a desk, a reading chair, and a double or king bed, and there's plenty of extra floor space. Unusual for a chain hotel, minibars operate on the honor system and items are restocked as requested. Rooms come with flat-screen TVs and iPod docks, and Wi-Fi is available for a fee. Large bathrooms have white marble tiling, shower/tub combos, and Asprey Purple Water toiletries. A farm-to-table restaurant, live jazz, a gigantic spa, and a state-of-the-art gym The hotel's popular M Bistro restaurant specializes in fresh farm-to-table cuisine, while the adjacent Davenport Lounge, the hotel's bar, often has live jazz performances. The Ritz-Carlton also has the largest spa in the city, along with an expansive fitness center full of recent-model cardio machines, weight equipment, free weights, and a small resistance pool. There are also a business center, a dedicated conference concierge, and 10 event rooms, the largest of which can accommodate receptions of up to 300 people.</p>]]></content:encoded>
