The Stanley Hotel
The Stanley Hotel is a historic landmark hotel established in 1909 in Estes Park, Colorado, at the heart of the Rocky Mountain National Park gateway. Discover the hotel where nature, history, and mystery come together in the beauty of the Colorado Mountains. The Historic Stanley District comprises 220 accommodations across 4 properties—The Stanley, Aspire Hotel & Spa, The Lodge, and The Residences—featuring rooms, lodges, condos, and a cottage.

When Freelan Oscar "F.O." Stanley was prescribed a stay in Estes Park for his ailing health, his recovery and summer retreats inspired him and his wife Flora to develop a luxurious hotel designed with wellness and grandeur in mind, maximizing mountain airflow and featuring electric lights, telephones, en suite bathrooms, uniformed staff, and a fleet of automobiles. The hotel's luster was revitalized in 1970 when novelist Stephen King's one fateful night inspired his masterpiece of horror, The Shining, putting The Stanley back on the map and beginning a new era.
Today, guests join from around the world to explore the impressive history, test paranormal bounds, join literary tours, rejuvenate at the biodynamic spa at Aspire, and experience the wonders of nature. The property continues restoration as an iconic destination for luxury, wellness, and culture in the Rocky Mountains.
