If the tales of mythical beings aren’t spine-tingling enough for you — we have a stay that will hit a little closer to home. More than 140 years ago, the Kimpton Hotel Monaco served as the city’s general post office.

Legend has it that there is still one woman waiting. Several years ago, a young woman dressed in a full-length Victorian outfit caught the attention of a construction worker doing renovations at the hotel. He said she looked anxious and was pacing back-and-forth in a courtyard area that was restricted to the public at that time. Seconds later, the woman simply vanished, turning the man’s curiosity into confusion, and having some claim the hotel is haunted by the war widow’s cries.
