IRVING, Texas, Oct. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- This Halloween, guests at Omni Hotels

spirited suite from the luxury hotel brand's "ghost-folio" of properties.

The historic, and some say haunted, Omni Parker House in Boston prides itself
on customer service. However, some guests may get more than they bargained
for when the ghost of Harvey Parker, the hotel's founder, materializes in
certain guest rooms to inquire about their stay. In addition, elevators at
the Omni Parker House have been known to travel to the third floor -- where
novelist Charles Dickens once lived -- without a single button being pushed.
Spooky!
Guests can sleep at their own risk in the Omni Shoreham Hotel's "Ghost Suite"
in Washington, D.C. Those who have dared to do so have reported televisions
and lights turning on by themselves in the middle of the night, while guests
in adjacent rooms have heard loud noises coming from the suite -- all while it
was unoccupied.
Book a night at the Omni Mount Washington Resort in Bretton Woods, NH, and you
might awake to find the widow of the hotel's first owner, a socialite named
Princess Carolyn, at the foot of the bed, lost in thought as she brushes her
hair. Princess Carolyn's spirit is believed to watch over the hotel which was
built for her, knocking politely on doors, and visiting the ornate maple
four-poster bed in room 314, which traveled around the world with her.
To celebrate Halloween, Omni partnered with a master mixologist to create four
new signature Halloween cocktails for guests to enjoy across the brand,
including:
-- Red Widow - a mysterious mixture of Skyy Infusions Citrus, fresh lemon
juice, simple syrup and pomegranate juice, garnished with Twizzler
ropes, a lemon wheel and candy corn
-- Trick 'R' Treat - a creepy cocktail made with white rum, lime juice,
simple syrup and Midori, topped with a lime dimple and featuring
assorted Halloween candy
-- Bond's Eye - made for the martini lover, this drink fuses Plymouth
Gin,
Ketel One Vodka and Lillet finished with a Lychee "Eyeball" stuffed
with
a blueberry
-- Red Eye - a mixture of Absolut Vanilla Vodka, Grand Marnier, orange
juice and strawberry puree; also garnished with a Lychee "Eyeball"
with
blueberry and strawberry puree
