Alberta spot named a top haunted hotel in the world
If you are a ghost hunter looking for a place to stay, a spot in Alberta was named to a list of the top haunted hotels in the world.
Conde Nast Traveller revealed that the massive Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel nabbed a spot out of the 64 places on its spooky list, making it just one of two Canadian destinations to make the cut.
The castle in the Alberta Rockies was built in 1888, with Conde Nast Traveller touting its well-known ghost tales: “Several ghosts have been reported as regulars, including a bride who supposedly fell down the stone staircase during her wedding.”

Also mentioned was Sam the bellman, who “worked at the hotel until 1975 and claimed he’d come back to haunt the joint. His spirit supposedly pulls shifts, helping people with their bags before disappearing.”
The only other Canadian spot to land on the list was the Fairmont Empress in Victoria, B.C.. International locations included the Hollywood Roosevelt in Los Angeles, California; the Mermaid Inn in Rye, England; and the Château de Marcay in Marcay, France.Â
Banff and the surrounding national park are no strangers to the spotlight, with the mountain town being named the most tranquil destination in Canada, touted as having one of the best downtowns in the Rockies, and the park being called one of the most beautiful in the country.
