The Black Cat Hotel (2026)
The Hotel has changed hands. Old money, impeccable manners, exclusively evening hours.
The Black Cat Hotel has changed hands. This Halloween, The Palace Theater's immersive Hotel returns under the care of new management — old money, impeccable manners, exclusively evening hours. Check in, receive the House Rules, and make your way room by room through live performances, hidden passages and increasingly questionable hospitality. Where last year's residents were nine lives haunting the halls, this season's staff keep later hours and a colder welcome: a host of vampires, holding court in the once-luxurious Bay Area residence. The show runs about 60 minutes; allow 90 minutes for the full experience. The staff are very much looking forward to having you. The Black Cat Hotel is an immersive theatrical experience, not an operating hotel. Overnight accommodation is not available, regardless of what the staff may tell you.
