Historic Western Hotel

You are here Home  > Hotels and Inns >  Historic Western Hotel

This historic saloon and hotel was built in 1891 during the town mining boom, and is allegedly haunted by a number of spirits from a bygone era. These include a shadowy figure who peers out of windows, a lady in an old-fashioned dress who appears to art students in an upstairs studio, and a spook who likes to play with the cash register after closing hours. Each hotel room is equipped with a guestbook, many of which are brimming with ghostly tales and encounters experienced by visitors.

  1. My wife and I were just walking around Ouray and upon seeing this old hotel, had to have a look around. The staff were very friendly, and let us walk around the hotel and look in vacant rooms. I absolutely cannot imagine staying here. Felt an eerie presence on the second floor, and the third floor was completely closed, so it definitely felt forbidden. Experienced a lightbulb explode upon looking into a room, and the hallway lights flickered, almost as a haunted amusement ride. Very cool place, but no way could I sleep here.

  2. My boyfriend and I stayed here in Room 7 In October of 2018 to attend the Beaumont Hotel Halloween party.
    The only thing I heard and couldn’t explain was a voice mumbling something followed by a man’s voice saying “Oh great.” kind of faintly in the hallway of the second floor. I cant say it wasn’t someone out at the sidewalk but I wouldn’t think it would carry that far but maybe.
    I am a ghost hunter and I was inviting the ghosts to come talk to me or appear. No takers. All night. Did I mention we were the only live people in the hotel?
    I would stay again! I want to go back and investigate but the owners don’t seem to want to play up the hauntings.
