Hotel San Carlos

Opened in 1928, the Hotel San Carlos at the edge of downtown Phoenix is frequently cited in local ghost tours and media as a site of reported paranormal activity. Guests and staff have reported unexplained sounds, footsteps, and lights in historic areas of the property, and the hotel markets aspects of this history as part of its lore. These reports are anecdotal and part of local legend; they are not scientifically verified and remain debated.
