5 Truly Chilling Murders That Took Place At Hotels

Hotels can often feel like strange spaces when you’re in them. Serving as a temporary refuge for people of all walks of life, hotels seek to offer us all of the comforts of home, often when we’re hundreds or even thousands of miles away from the real thing. In this way, they occupy a sort of uncanny valley between the intimate and the unfamiliar, places where we are meant to relax in relative proximity to total strangers, where we have no idea who has been there before us and who will check in long after we leave.

It’s no wonder then that hotels serve as the setting for some of the most iconically creepy stories in our culture, from movies like Psycho and the Shining to urban legends about what happens at seedy motels on the sides of lonely highways.

Though it’s true that our imaginations often conjure far darker stories about these locations than we need seriously worry about, occasionally real life delivers something truly shocking. Today we wanted to take a look at a few examples of truly chilling murder cases that took place at hotels, some of which remain disturbingly unsolved. For this list we will be covering cases that happened at both hotels and motels, as we feel the distinction isn’t that important for the purposes of our subject matter.
