VIP Haunted Hotel Experience: Ghost Hunting plus Cocktail (opens in a new tab)

47 1 h 45 min

Looking for a true paranormal adventure? Gain exclusive access to one of the city’s most haunted hotels, where you’ll dive into its ghostly past using modern ghost hunting tools. The evening begins with a haunted cocktail at Fior d’Italia, where you’ll take part in a summoning spell and hear chilling stories of the restaurant’s dark history. Then, head upstairs to the historic San Remo Hotel, a Victorian-era building that once housed workers rebuilding the city after the devastating 1906 earthquake. You’ll explore one of the hotel’s vintage rooms with a range of ghost hunting tools, including EMF meters, a Spirit Box, dowsing rods, a laser grid, and EVP recorders. Then, wander the narrow corridors, searching for your own paranormal evidence and leaving messages for the spirits that might still roam the halls. To wrap up, we’ll gather outside for a closing ritual to send you off with positive energy—and perhaps a keepsake from your otherworldly encounter.
