IMPERIAL HOTEL



Imperial Hotel Ghost Story

123 North Third Street, Cripple Creek, CO 80813 (719) 689-7777

The Imperial Hotel was built after a fire leveled most of the city in 1896. It opened as the Collins Hotel and had the most modern amenities of the time. Electric lights and steam heat.

The hotel was run by George Long who married his first cousin in Denver. They had two daughters and one son. The oldest daughter, Alice, had a severe mental disorder and was eventually locked in an apartment next to the lobby. This is now the Red Rooster bar.

George fell to his death on the narrow stairs to the basement. Rumors had it that Alice killed him, hittng him on the head with a cast iron skillet. George still haunts the hotel today. He likes to flirt with the ladies and play slots. Night guards have reported hearing the machines play late at night after the casino has closed. When they check, no one is there. The machines are checked and they are malfunction free.

Alice is also said to be around still. If staff leaves the door to the Red Rooster closed, the sounds of scratching on the other side could be heard.
