Guests and employees at Le Meridien Dallas, The Stoneleigh say they’ve experienced unexplained happenings for nearly a century.
“There’s a lot of stories about the paranormal here in this hotel,” said Stacy Martin, the hotel’s general manager.
A frequent guest of the hotel, Stewart was so enamored by it that he purchased the property and turned the 11th floor into his penthouse suite, the first penthouse suite in Dallas. He later added a 12th floor, which became his residence. A century ago, however, that those tunnels were used by a woman known as Margaret, who was rumored to be the mistress of either Stewart or the hotel’s first manager.Reportedly, in the late 30s, Margaret was pushed or fell either down the stairs or from the hotel’s top floor all the way to her death.“You can always tell when they’ve had an experience,” said front desk manager Julie Garrett. “They kind of look around, see if anybody’s listening and then they come and they tell their story.
Employees aren’t immune from these encounters either. They regularly experience lights flickering, doors opening and dogs barking when no dogs are present.“I think my employees believe that they see and hear what they see and hear,” Martin laughed.Even if one of America’s most spectacular hotels turns out to be one of the spookiest, there’s no reason to hide from it. That’s why The Stoneleigh is having a party on Thursday, Oct. 26, to celebrate its 100th anniversary.
