The Ben Lomond Hotel opened in 1927 in downtown Ogden and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. It was later renamed the Bigelow, converted to apartments in 2019, and its grand ballroom and event spaces reopened in 2024. Its best-known legend, told by Visit Utah and Visit Ogden, is of a bride said to have drowned in the bathtub of Room 1102, with guests reporting the sound of running water and sudden chills, and of her grieving son in the adjoining room.
No longer a traditional hotel: it is now apartments with an event venue. The exterior can be seen from Washington Blvd; interior access is mostly through events.
