Centered on the mysterious Hotel Cortez in Los Angeles, California, that catches the eye of an intrepid homicide detective (Bentley). The Cortez is host to many disturbing scenarios and paranormal events, and is overseen by its enigmatic matron, The Countess (Gaga), who is a bloodsucking fashionista. The hotel is loosely based on an actual hotel built in 1893 by H. H. Holmes in Chicago, Il. for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. It became known as the 'Murder Castle' as it was built for Holmes to torture, murder, and dispose of evidence just as is the Cortez. From the 2015 season American Horror Story: Hotel, this is Sally McKenna's (Sarah Paulson) Hypodermic Sewing Needle. It's probably safe to say that Sally has a thing for needles. But her trusty sewing needle certainly comes in handy for more than just needlepoint. Used to sew up the Countess and in a flashback to sew her together to her friends in a drug induced mania, Sally’s bloody needle has seen plenty of disgusting action in episode 11 of Hotel.
