The Jekyll Island Club Hotel, US

This landmark luxury hotel in Georgia, which was part of the exclusive members-only Georgia Club of the late 1800s, housed several famous wealthy Americans, including banker J P Morgan, who was known for smoking his favourite cigar at 5am every morning in the annex of the hotel. Recent guests at this building claimed to have smelled the smoke of a cigar at the same early morning hour. Samuel Spencer, a railroad executive of Southern Railway, was also a club member. Spencer died in 1906 but it is said he continues to visit his favourite suite to have his coffee while reading the morning newspapers.
