Generally the Bowery Hotel conjures thoughts of fun parties, swank decor and fashion-forward guests, but there are some who are convinced the Downtown hot spot is actually, well, the other kind of hot spot. Dr. Phil Schoenberg, who leads the Ghosts of NY tour, says this space is haunted. Perhaps the proximity to the Marble Cemetery may be to blame. Apparently the elevators regularly go out of control at 1am and many blame poltergeists.

The Hotel Chelsea, currently undergoing renovations, is said to be haunted by several famous ghosts, though most notably Sid and Nancy (in case you know nothing about rock history: Sid Vicious, bassist of the Sex Pistols, murdered his girlfriend Nancy Spungen in room 100, then later died of heroin OD the hotel). Another fun, celebrity related ghost story: Sopranos actor Michael Imperioli revealed on trashtastic show Celebrity Ghost Sightings that he had been visited by a ghost in the Hotel Chelsea named Mary. After some investigation, it turns out that there was a guest named Mary who hung herself in the hotel after her husband died in the Titanic.

The Brittany Hotel is actually now an NYU Dorm, but the ghosts haven't left despite all the obnoxious students. Current students have experienced regular, strange phenomena, including an apparition of a little girl who supposedly fell down the elevator shaft at one point in time. Besides unexplained noises and lights, residents also report they feel like they're being watched.

The Algonquin Hotel, which opened in 1902, may be most known for The Round Table Room meetings, which was home to the famous "Vicious Circle" of writers, actors and playwrights including Dorothy Parker, the most well known member to this day. However, there are some who believe ghosts dwell in this 174-room hotel designed by architect Goldwin Starrett. In 2004 the hotel was renovated, and as paranormal buffs know: ghosts HATE structural changes. Following the renovation, strange noises have been heard, and there have even been some reports of guests seeing apparitions. Many believe the ghosts are members of the Vicious Circle.

The Plaza has such a presence and history in New York, how could it not be haunted? There have been reports of shadowy figures, doors that refuse to open and disembodied voices.

Architect George M. Pollard designed this stunning Neo-Gothic building. Built in 1915, it's actually residences rather than a hotel, but that doesn't really mean much to the ghosts that are trapped here. There have been numerous reports of ghosts who touch people.
