Bamer Building — the haunted hotel tower of Mexico City's historic centre

The Bamer Building in the Historic Centre of Mexico City was founded in 1953 and operated as a hotel until the 1990s. Since its closure as a hotel, the building has been associated with full apparition sightings. Former guests and staff, as well as current workers in the building, describe seeing figures in mid-20th-century clothing walking through the lobbies and corridors. The most frequently described apparition is a woman in a cocktail dress from the 1950s or 1960s who appears in the lobby area, looking as though she is waiting for someone. Other phenomena include elevator doors opening on empty floors, the sound of a big band orchestra playing in the former ballroom, and glasses clinking in the former bar area. The building sits in the heart of Mexico City's historic centre, near the Zócalo, and its mid-century modern architecture contrasts with the surrounding colonial and Aztec-era structures. The Bamer Building's ghosts represent a more recent layer of Mexico City's haunted history — the glamorous post-war period when the capital was known as 'the Paris of the Americas.'
