Baker Hotel

The Baker Hotel opened in 1929 as a luxury mineral-water spa resort in Mineral Wells, Texas. At fourteen storeys, it dominated the small town skyline. The hotel closed in 1972 and has stood as a decaying landmark since, though restoration efforts are ongoing.

The most persistent ghost story involves a woman who jumped or fell from the seventh floor, said to be a manager's mistress. A woman in white is reported on the upper floors and mezzanine. Trespassers before the restoration project reported shadow figures, disembodied voices, and equipment failures throughout the building.

The Baker Hotel is under active restoration and is not open to the public. Do not trespass — the structure is hazardous. The town of Mineral Wells is working to reopen the hotel as a functioning resort. Check project updates for future access.
