Many years ago, before becoming the Omni Royal Orleans, the old St. Louis Hotel constructed in 1960 on the corner of St. Louis Street and Royal Street had no heating or air condoning. The hotel was destroyed in the the New Orleans Hurricane of 1915.
It is told that a maid who died during the hurricane of 1915 at the hotel still comes to visit guests to warm there beds.
She would put a copper-bottom pan filled with coals at the foot of the bed and then tuck the covers in all around the bed to keep the guests warm.
However the mysterious maid doesn't always seem to be helpful, cold water faucets have been reported to turn themselves on in the middle of the night.
The identity of the ghostly maid still remains a mystery...
