Hard Rock Hotel San Diego Transforms into 'Haunted Manor' for Halloween

The Hard Rock Hotel San Diego is set to become a sprawling Halloween attraction known as "Haunted Manor," transforming 60,000 square feet of the venue into a night of terror and entertainment. The event, scheduled for Halloween night, October 31, will feature numerous DJs across three floors, four dance floors, and seven distinct themed rooms.

The "Haunted Manor" event aims to provide an immersive Halloween experience, running from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Among the advertised attractions are "The Graveyard," "The Haunted Ballroom," and "The Forbidden Library." The latter is described as a Halloween-themed lounge offering music, cocktails, and a dark atmosphere. Another area, "The Secret Door," promises a hidden experience for guests.

Attendees can expect rooftop dancing and performances by over 15 DJs. Tickets for the event start at $91.05, with options for expedited entry via a fast pass. VIP passes are also available, with prices reaching up to $3,000. The "Haunted Manor" is exclusively for guests aged 21 and over, and re-entry will not be permitted.
