Description

Construction workers were fearful during the renovation of The Biltmore Hotel, a historic landmark building in Miami. It was once a veteran’s hospital and had other previous uses. There are stories of things moving inexplicably and the sort. A receptionist who works there and lives nearby told of how she once got into the elevator and didn’t press a selection, and the elevator went to one of the floors that was not being used at the time. It is known as the Bridal floor, as a death occurred during a honeymooner’s stay. People report seeing the bride’s ghost on that floor, despite the fact that the elevator was disabled to stop there.

Another account was from a fellow traveler who stayed often at the hotel. She stayed with a colleague for four nights on business. The colleague said she saw people, which the fellow traveler didn’t observe. The two concluded that the place was haunted. This occurred on a trip from Miami to NYC. This traveler was a fairly centered, successful businesswoman who finally said that one should be more afraid of the living than the dead, which she told her colleague to subside her fears.

📝 Case Notes

Haunted Lineage note: Previously listed as "Biltmore Hotel". The official name is The Biltmore Hotel. The address and listing title were updated to reflect the correct official name and location at 1200 Anastasia Ave, Coral Gables, FL 33134. Specific hauntings are frequently reported on the 13th floor, particularly the Everglades Suite.

The Biltmore Hotel opened in 1926 in Coral Gables, Florida. During World War II, it was converted into a military hospital, and it later served as a Veterans Administration hospital and a campus for the University of Miami medical school until 1968. After sitting abandoned for years, it was renovated and reopened as a hotel in 1987. The hotel is famously associated with the 1929 murder of mobster Thomas "Fatty" Walsh on the 13th floor.
