Conrad Hilton was still in the early stages of his career when he built the Hilton Hotel in the 1930s in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The 4th Hilton Hotel to be created, the hotel opened in 1939. The old hotel became known as the Hotel Andaluz after a renovation in the early 2000s.

Is the Hotel Andaluz Haunted?
There are several ghostly rumors told about the Hotel Andaluz. From a nervous lobby ghost to another entity that haunts the 4th-floor. While skeptics may dispute the stories, many concur that the Hotel Andaluz is haunted to this day.
Who haunts the Hotel Andaluz?
One of those spirits is a woman seen in the lobby and on some of the upper floors (the 7th floor specifically) of the hotel. Described as looking nervous and unsettled, some say that she looks and acts like she doesn’t belong in the hotel. Many describe her as wearing a dress from the 1940s or early 1950s. Though no one knows who she is, some think she might be a woman who stayed in the hotel with her lover or spouse prior to the man shipping off to World War II. If he never came back from the war, it might explain why she came back to the hotel where they were so happy together and why she seems so confused.
The Hotel Andaluz is also home to a ghostly older woman who wanders the fourth floor in an old-fashioned pink dress. Guests report seeing her appear and then disappear around sundown. The ballroom of the hotel is also haunted by a group of former guests who seem to enjoy laughing, dancing and listening to the music that no one else can hear. Though ghostly activity is common at the hotel, most of the activity occurs later in the day.

Are there any other ghosts besides the two ladies and the phantom audience that have their “parties”?
On Halloween Night, 2023, A tarot card reading in the lobby’s conference room on the southeast side revealed many lost souls seeking a way to move on. unofficially, a security guard was present when the reading was made by myself. It was one of the most amazing readings of my life
I stayed on the 6 floor in the corner. Heard low to high banging noise on a specific wall the other side of that wall was a separate parking garage 6 ft away from each other. I was told there no way I could’ve heard a noise from the garage how far it is from my room. I then googled the hotel and this website popped up.
Interesting because I am staying in the same room and exactly at midnight last night I heard the same thing. I was just in a light sleep and awoke. It sounded like it was coming from the corner of the room. I told the spirit to leave so I could sleep and I did not have any other disturbances. It was really strange. I stayed here in the same room (611) in 2017 and each morning the closet door was wide open when I made sure it was completely closed. I never felt threatened so it isn’t a mean ghost.
Stayed lastnighy in 202. Around 1030 I saw a white figure walk behind my gf. The was knocks on the closet door.
I worked there as a banquet cook/chef and was going downstairs to the bottom near banquet storage and heard a kid or baby crying then to my left I heard what sounds like ” are you ready” so I took three pics. in the second pic is what looks like a ghostly little girl poking her head out with a left sided distorted face. wish I could post those pics
As a former employee of the Andaluz I might be able to clear some of this up. Yes, the hotel is haunted. It’s over 100 years old and there are just to many stories for it not to be. Ghost #1 The woman: Seen mostly in the basement and lobby area, she appears in a white dress. After a event one night I was taking a chair down to the basement when all of a sudden i got that feeling like something was watching me, when I turned in said direction a loud bang that sounded like someone pulled a table away from the stack against the wall and then forcefully pushed it back into place occurred.. Needless to say i tan out of there real quick. Ghost #2 The little girl or “Emily” as we use to call her: Seen mostly on the Mezzanine she was pretty friendly and we would leave out toys for her to play with that would move around during the night. Now the last and ghost is the one you didn’t really want to encounter. He use to stay on the upper levels of the hotel (floors 9-10) and is mean, does not like men, and is said to grope women (a couple of our female house keepers had bad experiences). Also one night a male guest came down from his room at 3am and refused to go back up, stating there was a “black figure” standing in his room.. Security had to go up and pack his bags for him so he could check out..
