Christmas is coming… and so are they.

Step inside The Hotel, where the holiday spirit has taken a sinister turn. Once a place of warmth, celebration, and Christmas cheer, this forgotten hotel now hides a horrifying secret behind its locked doors.

The Kringle Killers have returned. What began as a festive Christmas gathering has become a nightmarish tradition of blood, screams, and twisted holiday rituals. The halls are decorated for the season, but something is terribly wrong. Santa’s workshop has become a slaughterhouse, the Christmas carols have become screams, and the guests who checked in… never checked out.

As you make your way through the darkened rooms of The Hotel, you’ll encounter deranged holiday killers, disturbing surprises, and the remnants of Christmases that ended in terror.

There’s no silent night here... The Kringle Killers are waiting.

Check in. Try to survive. And whatever you do… don’t get on their naughty list.

The Hotel

Haunted Attraction

Open October - April

Voted as a top haunted attraction in North Carolina on NorthCarolinaHauntedHouses.com, The Hotel isn’t just a haunted attraction — it’s a full-throttle descent into fear itself. From the moment you enter, you’re no longer a guest — you’re a participant in a living nightmare. Each season brings a fresh wave of terror, with new storylines, environments, and psychological twists that ensure no two visits are ever the same. This isn’t just about jump scares. It’s about immersion. You’ll navigate dark corridors, encounter unpredictable characters, and face challenges that blur the line between fiction and reality. The fear is tailored, the experience is personal, and the horror is relentless.

Unique and unpredictable, The Hotel pushes you to new heights of dread. Whether it’s a whisper in the dark or a hand from the shadows, physical contact is part of the experience. You won’t just witness the horror… you’ll feel it.

An extreme experience is available for those who can brave a more demanding experience! (Available for ages 18 and up only)
