The Hotel del Coronado opened in 1888 — the Victorian beach resort where 'Some Like It Hot' was filmed, where the Prince of Wales met Wallis Simpson's circle, where the American resort hotel reached its most photographed form. And in November 1892, a guest registered as Kate Morgan was found dead on the stairs to the beach — ruled suicide, debated ever since. The file's spine is the hotel's glamour with the death at its center: America's grandest beach resort keeping one guest's documented death as its permanent register. KATE MORGAN IN 3327 Kate Morgan checked in alone, waited days for a man who never came, and was found dead on the beach stairs — the death ruled suicide, the circumstances debated for over a century. Guests and staff report her — cold spots, moved objects, a woman in period dress — in Room 3327 and the halls. The hotel keeps the account on its own materials. Room 3327 is the file's geography — the room where Morgan stayed being the hotel's most requested and most reported, the guest who never checked out reportedly still in the building. WHY THIS FILE MATTERS The Del is the archive's most famous hotel-ghost file — a documented 1892 death, a debated verdict, a named ghost in a specific room, and a hotel that keeps the account on its own materials. The suicide ruling is the record; the debate and the reports are the legend's hundred-year run. A resort where a guest died waiting for someone who never came keeps her — the file's suggestion being that Kate Morgan's wait never ended, Room 3327 holding the guest the stairs couldn't release.
