Stanley Hotel

Location. Positioned six miles from the natural wonders of Rocky Mountain National Park, the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colo., is recognized by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The allure of this mountain getaway extends beyond the property's boundaries, as attractions such as Stanley Park and Lake Estes Marina, located within one mile, invite guests to explore Colorado's grandeur.
Hotel Features. Magnificent mountains shadow the Stanley Hotel while sensational stories hover over the property's mesmerizing past and present. Erected by inventor F.O. Stanley in 1909, this stately Georgian- revival hotel inspired Stephen King's bestseller, "The Shining." The property features 16,000 square feet of unique conference space. Event catering services and use of a business center equipped with complimentary high-speed Internet access enhance this hotel's corporate appeal. On-site recreational opportunities include a seasonal outdoor lap pool and a spa that offers revitalizing beauty and body treatments. The Cascades Restaurant and Lounge specializes in continental cuisine with a regional flair. Colorado game takes culinary center stage, where during warmer months, guests can dine on the outdoor patio adjacent to a playful waterfall.

Guestrooms. The four-story Stanley Hotel offers 140 guestrooms that range from historic to classic, and from suites to villas. The Presidential Cottage features five sleeping rooms, a kitchenette, dining and living room areas, and a private deck that captures unbridled views of the Rockies. Accommodations provide coffeemakers and complimentary weekday newspapers. Dial-up and television-based Internet access are available for a fee, and wireless Internet access is complimentary.

Expert Tip. Many past residents still call The Stanley Hotel "home." The original owners make their presence known in the billiards room and in the music room by randomly playing music on the piano. The sounds of children permeate the hallways of the old servant quarters on the fourth floor, with most of the ghostly activity occurring in Room 418. The hotel's resident poltergeist expert narrates the hotel's spooky history accompanied by hot chocolate and treats by the fire pit in the courtyard.
       
Please Note:
Due to the smoking ban in Colorado, the Stanley Hotel is now a non-smoking establishment.
