Spirits & Stories of Martinique New York
On this tour led by Rooms Division Manager, resident historian, and 20+ year property veteran Tara Williams, you’ll hear spine-chilling tales as you visit the hotel’s spookiest spots. Travel up to the 17th floor where you’ll learn about the thwarted Nazi spy plot that intended to disrupt operations at Grand Central Terminal, and meet the spirits of guests who have taken “the quick way” down the stairs.
Heading down to the 9th floor, you’ll screen the short 1923 film “Safety First” and hear about the daring but doomed acrobat who fell from the 9th floor of the hotel while promoting the film 100 years ago. In the beautiful ballroom, you’ll learn about some of the darker misdeeds and mishaps that have occurred on the dancefloor. Down on the lower levels of the hotel, you’ll meet Sara, the prankster spirit whose mischievous taunts have been caught on security footage.
