Haunted Hotels in Cork

Before becoming a hotel in 2008, the building were Maldron is housed today used to be the North Infirmary Hospital in 1720 and was later used to secretly treat the wounded soldiers from the war. Due to its history, the hotel is considered one of the most haunted places in Ireland. Guests have reported seeing the ghost of a woman who is believed to have died while giving birth back when the hotel was an infirmary, while broken mirrors and equipment have terrified guests and staff alike. Rumour has it that in between rooms 318 and 319 there is a closed off room, 325, which cannot be accessed on its own and is said to be a hive of paranormal activity.

Commodore Hotel was built in 1854 and had been used as a hospital and makeshift morgue for the wounded and victims of World War I. With such a turbulent past it is no wonder that the hotel is a little more than haunted. Apart from the ghosts of the wounded who died there during the war, guests have reported hearing the eerie cries of a baby in the upper rooms, where its body is said to have been found abandoned in a suitcase in one of the rooms in the 1900s. There are also some unexplainable drops of temperature at around the time when a young British army captain took his life in the hotel.
