When it comes to Halloween travel, there’s all kinds of spooky fun to be had if you dare—from staying in famous movie houses on Airbnb to checking into one of America’s most haunted hotels. (By the way, here’s how to tell if your accommodations are haunted—you may just be staying with guests who never checked out!)
But one New York City hotel has a particularly spine-chilling twist on Halloween travel. Located in SoHo with sweeping views of Manhattan and the Hudson River, The Dominick invites guests to experience its eerie “Haunted Hotline” that’s located in the hotel lobby.

Brave souls can step into a vintage phone booth, pick up the receiver, and listen to a collection of ghostly tales that will send shivers down your spine. Honestly, hearing a whispering voice tell scary stories through an old phone sounds far more unnerving than gathering around a campfire. (Maybe because picking up the receiver instantly recalls scenes from the movie Scream for me!)
Each ghost story is performed by a haunting voice-over that brings the supernatural to life. Listeners will encounter cursed relics, ghostly apparitions, and even eerie subway secrets buried beneath the hotel itself. In total, there are five chilling tales to explore—perfect for thrill-seekers looking to test their nerves.

“It’s a spine-tingling escape into the unknown—no reservation required, just courage,” the hotel teases.
But the haunting doesn’t end there.

Beyond the Haunted Hotline—available through November 1—The Dominick has also transformed its luxurious penthouse into a Trick or Suite, a space as glamorous as it is ghostly. Picture velvet-draped walls, flickering candelabras, and gothic-luxe decor, all best enjoyed while sipping champagne beneath a glittering chandelier.
