盘点全球12大惊魂酒店(上)  

For seekers of creepy kicks
there`s nothing quite like a bona fide gruesome death site. Hotels are primo spots for dubious deeds—including big-time murders
overdoses
and suicides. So here`s our list of 12 inns that hosted famous passings.
1. Chelsea Hotel
New York City
The Chelsea Hotel is best known as the place where Sid Vicious killed his girlfriend
Nancy Spungen. Vicious was the former bass player for English punk band the Sex Pistols. On October 12
1978
Spungen was found dead on the bathroom floor with a single knife wound in her abdomen
while Vicious walked the halls
muttering. Vicious died of a heroin overdose before he could go to trial
and rumors of a shared suicide pact continue to this day.
这家酒店因英国朋克乐队“性手枪”前贝斯手席德•维瑟斯谋杀女友一案而闻名于世。1978年 10月12日，维瑟斯的女友南茜•斯庞根被发现在浴室地板上死去，腹部插了一把刀，而维瑟斯本人则在酒店大堂里踱来踱去，口中喃喃自语。最后，维瑟斯在出庭前死于海洛因过量，而关于二人相约自杀的传闻一直持续到今日。
2. Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast
Fall River
Massachusetts
After a breakfast of bananas and johnnycakes and a stroll in town
return home to receive 40 whacks with an ax. This was the nature of Andrew Borden`s last day on earth. Borden was murdered on August 4
1892
along with his second wife. Suspicion has always fallen on their daughter Lizzie
though she was tried and found not guilty.
3. L`hôtel
Paris
These days
the L`Hôtel was a small hotel on Paris`s Left Bank. However
when Oscar Wilde died on November 30
1900
everything had changed. But Wilde`s last days in room 16 are shrouded in mystery. Did he die of syphilis
or cerebral meningitis resulting from an ear infection? One thing is clear: The hotel`s decor was not up to the aesthete`s standards. His last words are reputed to be
"My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. One or other of us has got to go." The hotel has transformed itself
meanwhile
into one of the most praised boutique hotels on the pla.
4. Cecil Hotel
Los Angeles
The body of missing UBC student Elisa Lam was found in the Cecil Hotel`s rooftop water tank on February 19.
The hotel is famous for its hosting a ghoulish assortment of losers and killers
including "Night Stalker" Richard Ramirez and Austrian journalist-cum-murderer Jack Unterweger. Ramirez
who was found guilty of 14 murders in the 1980s
stayed on the 14th floor for several months in 1985. And Unterweger
a writer and prostitute-killer
also used the hotel as a base to pick up at least three prostitutes who were later found murdered.
In 1962
a woman named Pauline Otten jumped out a window and killed a pedestrian
as well as herself
in her fall; there was another victim
Goldie Osgood
who was found strangled in her Cecil room in 1964.
5. Beau Rivage
Geneva
On September 10
1898
Empress Elizabeth of Austria was leaving the Beau Rivage Hotel to catch a boat on Lake Geneva when Italian anarchist Luigi Lucheni repeatedly stabbed her with a file that perated her heart and lungs. When aid was administered
the empress did not allow her corset to be undone until she had reached the relative privacy of the boat; when the stays came off
she was revealed to be bleeding to death.
On October 11
1987
the prominent German politician Uwe Barschel was found dead
fully dressed in a bathtub full of water following an overdose of prescription drugs.
6. Highland Gardens Hotel
Los Angeles
On October 4
1970
American singer-songwriter Janis Joplin died of an alcohol-and-heroin overdose in Highland Gardens Hotel. She keeled over from her bed into an end table. When people found her body the next day
change from the lobby`s cigarette machine was still in her fist.
