The Crown Hotel is a hotel in Poole, Dorset, England. It is a traditional pub/inn with a cream painted exterior and red placard. It is reputedly haunted, with ghosts of children and of deformed twins of the 17th century who were kept locked up in a room upstairs.[1] The hotel piano is often said to play notes seemingly on its own accord.[2] A girl in a white nightdress has often been reported leaning over the banister.[3]

It became a Grade II listed building in 1974.[4]
