The Omni Royal Orleans is a hotel in the French Quarter of New Orleans, on a site where a hotel opened in 1843 and served as a military hospital in the 1860s 1. A Matador Network roundup reported accounts of several spirits at the property, among them a woman in white associated with the rooftop pool 1. The same roundup said guests who describe her usually read her as benign, as though she were checking on them while they slept 1. Visitors commonly describe a sense of being watched in guest rooms at night, a woman in white near the rooftop pool, and the feeling of someone standing at the bedside.
