對於那些尋求恐怖刺激的人來說，沒有什麼比真實的命案現場更不尋常的了！而酒店則堪稱一些離奇事件的第一高發地——轟動一時的謀殺案、吸毒過量以及自殺案件。下面我們來爲你盤點12家發生過著名命案的酒店。

1. Chelsea Hotel, New York City

1.紐約，切爾西酒店

The Chelsea Hotel is best known as the place where Sid Vicious killed his girlfriend, Nancy Spungen. Vicious was the former bass player for English punk band the Sex Pistols. On October 12, 1978, Spungen was found dead on the bathroom floor with a single knife wound in her abdomen, while Vicious walked the halls, muttering. Vicious died of a heroin overdose before he could go to trial, and rumors of a shared suicide pact continue to this day.

這家酒店因英國朋克樂隊“性手槍”前貝斯手席德•維瑟斯謀殺女友一案而聞名於世。1978年 10月12日，維瑟斯的女友南茜•斯龐根被發現在浴室地板上死去，腹部插了一把刀，而維瑟斯本人則在酒店大堂裏踱來踱去，口中喃喃自語。最後，維瑟斯在出庭前死於海洛因過量，而關於二人相約自殺的傳聞一直持續到今日。

2. Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast, Fall River, Massachusetts

2．馬薩諸塞州，法爾河地區的莉茲•玻頓酒店

After a breakfast of bananas and johnnycakes and a stroll in town, return home to receive 40 whacks with an ax. This was the nature of Andrew Borden`s last day on earth. Borden was murdered on August 4, 1892, along with his second wife. Suspicion has always fallen on their daughter Lizzie, though she was tried and found not guilty.

享用了一頓香蕉和玉米烤餅的早餐後又在城中心逛了一圈，回到酒店後，等待的是什麼呢?對於安德魯•玻頓來說，是被狂砍了40板斧，同時被害的還有他的第二任妻子。夫妻雙雙被謀殺。這發生在1982年的8月4日。雖然大家懷疑是這是他們的女兒莉茲•玻頓乾的，但她卻被審判無罪。

3. L`hôtel, Paris

3.巴黎，L'hôtel酒店

These days, the L`Hôtel was a small hotel on Paris`s Left Bank. However, when Oscar Wilde died on November 30, 1900, everything had changed. But Wilde`s last days in room 16 are shrouded in mystery. Did he die of syphilis, or cerebral meningitis resulting from an ear infection? One thing is clear: The hotel`s decor was not up to the aesthete`s standards. His last words are reputed to be, "My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. One or other of us has got to go." The hotel has transformed itself, meanwhile, into one of the most praised boutique hotels on the planet.

L'Hôtel酒店原來只是一間位於巴黎左岸的小旅館。但在1900年11月30日那天，一切都改變了。這一天，奧斯卡•王爾德在這家酒店與世長辭。在這間16號房中，他人生的最後一段日子充滿着神祕色彩。究竟是死於梅毒還是中耳炎引起的腦膜感染呢?誰都說不清楚。但是有件事非常清楚，那就是這家酒店當時完全不符合這位唯美主義者的審美標準，因爲詩人最後的遺言是這樣寫的：“我和牆紙在做殊死搏鬥，不是它死，便是我亡。”如今，這家酒店已躋身爲全球最奢華的酒店之一。

4. Cecil Hotel, Los Angeles

4. 洛杉磯，塞西爾酒店

The body of missing UBC student Elisa Lam was found in the Cecil Hotel`s rooftop water tank on February 19.

美國當地時間2013年2月19日，失蹤三週的卑詩大學華裔女生藍可兒的屍體在洛杉磯塞西爾酒店頂樓的水箱中被發現。

The hotel is famous for its hosting a ghoulish assortment of losers and killers, including "Night Stalker" Richard Ramirez and Austrian journalist-cum-murderer Jack Unterweger. Ramirez, who was found guilty of 14 murders in the 1980s, stayed on the 14th floor for several months in 1985. And Unterweger, a writer and prostitute-killer, also used the hotel as a base to pick up at least three prostitutes who were later found murdered.

這家酒店因爲一系列駭人聽聞的自殺和謀殺案而臭名昭著，其中包括美國連環殺手“午夜跟蹤者”理查德•拉米雷斯和奧地利記者兼連環殺手傑克•奧特維格。前者在上世紀80年代被認定謀殺了14人。他曾於1985年在塞西爾酒店的14樓的一個房間裏住了好幾個月的時間。而奧特維格也曾將塞西爾酒店作爲大本營，並在這裏殺害了至少3名妓女。

In 1962, a woman named Pauline Otten jumped out a window and killed a pedestrian, as well as herself, in her fall; there was another victim, Goldie Osgood, who was found strangled in her Cecil room in 1964.

1962年一位名叫葆琳•奧藤的女人從酒店樓上跳下，正好砸到一名不幸的路人，雙雙死亡。1964年還有另一爲名叫的戈爾迪•奧茲古德的女人在房間裏被勒死。

5. Beau Rivage, Geneva

5.日內瓦，寶裏瓦奇酒店

On September 10, 1898,Empress Elizabeth of Austria was leaving the Beau Rivage Hotel to catch a boat on Lake Geneva when Italian anarchist Luigi Lucheni repeatedly stabbed her with a file that penetrated her heart and lungs. When aid was administered, the empress did not allow her corset to be undone until she had reached the relative privacy of the boat; when the stays came off, she was revealed to be bleeding to death.

1898年9月10日，奧地利伊麗莎白皇后（譯者注：即著名的茜茜公主）在離開這家酒店到日內瓦湖遊船時，被意大利無政府主義者盧伊季•盧切尼用銼刀反覆刺中心肺。救援人員到達後，她不同意在公衆場合下解開胸衣，於是將她送到了較私密的場所才解開胸衣，但此時已失血過多而死。

On October 11, 1987, the prominent German politician Uwe Barschel was found dead, fully dressed in a bathtub full of water following an overdose of prescription drugs.

1987年10月11日這天，德國著名政治家烏韋•巴舍爾，被發現死在注滿水的浴缸中，穿戴整齊的他被查出死前曾大量服用處方藥物。

6. Highland Gardens Hotel, Los Angeles

6.洛杉磯，高原花園酒店

On October 4, 1970, American singer-songwriter Janis Joplin died of an alcohol-and-heroin overdose in Highland Gardens Hotel. She keeled over from her bed into an end table. When people found her body the next day, change from the lobby`s cigarette machine was still in her fist.

1970年10月4日，在這家酒店裏，美國女歌手兼創作人Janis Joplin因爲過量的酒精與毒品，跪倒在牀頭櫃上死去。當第二天人們發現她的屍體時，她手上還拿着從自動販賣機裏買香菸剩下的零錢。
