For Halloween week, we have selected the most beautiful haunted hotel. As you know, fear is an emotion that everyone is bound to experience throughout a life. For some reason, the adrenaline rush that accompanies this sensation is one unlike any other. As a result, various industries like film, entertainment and even travel, specialize in the notion of creating an experience out of fear. And for the Posh Voyage traveler searching for an enthralling Halloween getaway, look no further than the Langham Hotel of London.

Located in the heart of West End, this Victorian hotel is known as the oldest of London’s ‘grand hotels.’ The origin of the building dates back to 1797, even though the hotel opened its doors in 1865.Throughout the hotel’s history, various spooky stories have emerged, causing many people to believe that the Langham is indeed haunted.

The hotel is rumored to have seven different ghosts occupying the property. The most famous legend claims that the spirit of a Doctor, who murdered his wife during their honeymoon at the hotel, still haunts the room in which the two stayed.

In addition to its enticing history, the Langham is also one of London’s finest hotels. With a fabulous spa and award-winning dining, guests can find ways to distract themselves from the gruesome tale. And how fitting: during the month of October, the bar serves its signature cocktail, the “box-o’bones,” which consists of rye whiskey and tequila poured over a piece bone marrow.

Forget about Six Flag’s “Fright Fest.” Posh Voyage is all about mixing Halloween with luxury, and what better place to do so than the Langham?
