haunted hotels

Ghost-infested overnight stays

Hotels reputed to harbor ghosts or supernatural activity, often marketed around their spooky histories.

The phrase is fully lexicalized—a category unto itself in travel writing and tourism: We're staying at one of those haunted hotels in New Orleans.

Some are genuinely old buildings with dark pasts; others lean into manufactured atmosphere for guests who want a thrill with their overnight stay.
