Today, we journey into the opulent Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Florida, where luxury meets mystery. Opened in 1926, the Biltmore became a playground for celebrities, politicians, and mobsters during its heyday. Among the glamorous parties and famous guests, a darker history unfolded, most notably the 1929 murder of mobster Thomas “Fatty” Walsh. His ghost is said to still roam the 13th floor, where he was shot, and guests report hearing gunshots, phantom footsteps, and seeing shadowy figures.
We’ll unravel the rich history of this iconic hotel and delve into its transformation from a glamorous resort to a military hospital during World War II, where the lingering spirits of soldiers add another layer to its haunted legacy. Are the glamorous halls of the Biltmore really a portal to the past, or is there something far more supernatural at play?
