Hotel Vendome
230 S Cortez St, Prescott, AZ (928) 776-0900
If you stay in room 16 at the Hotel Vendome in Prescott, Arizona,
you just may find that it is haunted by the ghost of Abby Byr and
her cat, Noble. Abby came to Arizona searching for dry desert
relief from tuberculosis and soon married. She and her new
husband bought the hotel but they eventually lost it because of
unpaid taxes. Regardless, the new owners allowed Abby and her
husband to stay on in the hotel for no charge. She died in 1921
and her ghost, along with that of her cat, began to be seen after
World War II. The stories say that Abby died of starvation, along
with Noble, after her husband deserted her. She has been haunting
the place ever since.
