Silver Queen Hotel is a hotel located in the center of Virginia city in Nevada.[1][2] It has 28 restored rooms that dates back from the 19th century.[3][4][5] Silver Queen Hotel was built in 1876 and it is the oldest hotel in Virginia city.[6][7]
Silver Queen Hotel is also known for the painting Silver Queen. It is a 15 feet tall full-body portrait of a woman that was embedded with 3,261 morgan silver dollars, as attributed to the depth of the deepest mine in Virginia city.[3] The Silver Queen's belt was made of 28 $20 gold coins while her bracelet and necklace were made of silver quarters.[8][9]
The Silver Queen Hotel does not offer modern amenities — such as elevators, air conditioners, televisions, and Wi-Fi — in order to maintain a historical ambience.[10][11][5]
Saloonedit
A spacious saloon dating back from the 1870s is found at the main floor. It has very large single-piece wooden back bars and bar counters. The Silver Queen is also displayed at the saloon.[7][9]
The chapel was once used as a makeshift morgue during the time when the land was too cold to bury the dead.[4][6]
In popular cultureedit
Several paranormal TV shows and surveys have been conducted at the Silver Queen Hotel.[7][14][15] Owner Connie Carlson said that the hotel keeps a book where guests can write down their experience.[15] The hotel is also believed to house a ghost named Rosie, a prostitute who supposedly killed herself.[16][17]
The Silver Queen Hotel was featured five times at Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures.[7][14] In an episode, Zak Bagans returned to Silver Queen Hotel to apologize to a spirit he mocked during a previous investigation. The experience inspired Bagans to tattoo his arm with the number 11, referring to the room number where the incident occurred.[18][16]
The management, however, affirms the stories, deeming the hotel a ghost hunter's delight.[5][15]
