The story
The Bisbee Grand Hotel opened during the copper mining boom of 1906 and has witnessed the full arc of Bisbee's fortunes, from prosperous mining town to modern-day heritage destination. Originally built to accommodate the growing number of miners, business travellers and visitors arriving in the bustling copper town, it remains one of Bisbee's most recognisable historic buildings. The most active spirit is believed to be a woman in Victorian dress seen in the upstairs hallway. Guests in the honeymoon suite have reported the scent of perfume with no discernible source, while others hear the sounds of a crying child in the early hours.
