The Beijing Hotel

The Beijing Hotel stands like a brooding sentinel at the edge of history, its stone walls steeped in the whispers of the Boxer Rebellion, where shadows of the past leap forth to mingle with the living. In its dimly lit corridors, a frigid breath of air swirls unexpectedly, and echoes of muffled sobs twist through the silence-each sound a ghostly reminder of the dignitaries and celebrities who once graced its rooms. Guests have skittered past the apparition of a woman in a red dress, her sorrowful gaze forever locked on something lost, and many have learned too late that some rooms hold the echoes of those who never checked out.
