1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa
A stone resort hotel built in 1886 on top of a hill, known as 'America's most haunted hotel.' Its nighttime ghost tours and rooftop bar with views are its signature attractions.
This Victorian stone hotel opened in 1886. It was once a women's college, and after 1937 the quack doctor Norman Baker turned it into a 'cancer hospital.' These stories have made it one of America's best-known haunted hotels. Every night there is a ghost tour of about 70 minutes, which requires a reservation and costs about 30 US dollars, and visits places such as the old morgue. Guests and non-guests alike can enter the lobby and gardens, and visit the SkyBar on the fourth floor for views over the town and the Ozark hills. The hotel is above the old town on Prospect Avenue. You can take the historic trolley loop or drive, though parking is limited.
