Have you ever heard of haunted serviced apartment legends? But you have heard a lot about haunted, spooky hotels, right? This Halloween, just to be at peace stay in one of our serviced apartments, where no ghost will bother you. If you still don’t believe us, here’s a list of how spooky hotels can be.
It all began at the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, where its people believed wearing costumes and lighting bonfires could ward off the ghosts that haunted them. Ever since we have fulfilled this costume-wearing nature and created a holiday that celebrates everything and anything that connotates scary.

Guaranteed to send a shiver down your spine is the story behind one of London’s grand hotels.

A Doctor’s spirit lurks around the hotel, after he supposedly murdered his wife and killed himself on the day of the couple’s honeymoon.

The Stanley Hotel, Colorado
Perhaps the most authentic of the five hotels is The Stanley Hotel. Based in the Rocky Mountain National Park this hotel was the inspiration behind Stephen King’s film The Shining.
Numerous haunted rooms are available. Particularly recommended are Rooms 217, 407 and the fourth floor due to the rumours of ghoulish activity associated with them. With a lot of very eery legends tied to the place, it is definitely the classic type of a haunted hotel.

The Queen Mary, Los Angeles
The Queen Mary became a docked hotel after it was bought back in 1967. Since though, it’s the spooky sightings which have given the Queen Mary’s its reputation.
Paranormal activity recordings include banging noises heard from the engine room, a spotted young woman in a white dress by the Queen’s salon, and ghosts haunting the swimming pool they supposedly drowned in. The fact that the ship has its own Paranormal Research Centre and had Cabin B340 closed due to many disturbances, may make you think twice before renting a room on the Queen Mary.
SITU‘s serviced apartments are warm, welcoming and cozy, there are no ghosts or eery stories tied to them and are a perfect place to enjoy your stay.
Happy Halloween!
