Although Halloween is mostly known to be celebrated in the USA, with images of kids in all kinds of costumes going trick-or-treating, pumpkins and spooky decorations everywhere coming to everyone’s mind with the mention of this holiday, it actually originated in the Catholic parts of Britain and especially in Ireland. Irish emigrants to the USA in the 19th century brought their tradition along with them, and today celebrations of every kind and themed decorations can be spotted all around the world!

We have gathered 7 hotels in various parts of the world that know how jolly spooky fun can be and have prepared Halloween-themed specials or events that guests can enjoy with their families or friends. From North America to Europe, Asia and Oceania, you can find hotels imbued with the Halloween spirit for the most exciting holiday!

The hotel’s beachfront becomes a place for spook-tastic fun at this time of the year, with events like pumpkin carving or Halloween movie watching under the stars. Bonfires are also lit at the beach at night, where guests gather, roast s’mores and tell ghost stories. This is not all, though, as at the hotel’s front lawn you can dress up, taste candies and spirits (pun intended), have your fortune told, dance and participate in face paintings, spending your Halloween evening in the most entertaining way.
