"American Horror Story: Hotel" may have been based off of L.A.'s Cecil Hotel but one Chicago hotel is capitalizing on its Lady Gaga connection and offering a gory Halloween package inspired by the creepy show.

The Radisson Blu Aqua is offering "A Night of Horror" package based on the FX show's Hotel Cortez. The entire 17th floor will be transformed into a "haunted hotel" featuring a business lounge turned into the sadistic owner James March's evil lair, according to TV Trippin.

Lucky guests might even run into the show's star Lady Gaga, who lives part-time in the Jeanne Gang-designed Aqua Tower. Her boyfriend "Chicago Fire" star Taylor Kinney has a place in the high-rise above the hotel, which occupies the first 18 floors.

Lady Gaga posted an Instagram this summer which appeared to have been taken from her balcony at the Aqua:

Watching over Chicago Pride from my apartment and smiling so big. So many happy people. Happy pride!! #lovewins

They're going all out on decorating the hotel rooms too, according to TV Trippin:

Individual rooms will be tricked out with unconventional amenities like a severed hand sticking out of the bed and fake hypodermic needles strewn on the coffee table - a nod to the show's drug-use theme.

Gaga's character on "AHS" loves to guzzle blood, so bags of the crimson liquid will be placed around the rooms and guests will get comped two bloody cocktails from the hotel's Filini Bar & Restaurant.

Here are a couple pictures of what the gore will look like:
