Lonely Planet review
The white Georgian Colonial Revival hotel stands in brilliant contrast to the towering peaks of Rocky Mountain National Park that surround it. A favourite local retreat, the nearly-a-century-old hotel served as the inspiration for Stephen King's famous cult novel The Shining. Rooms are cosy and decorated to evoke the Old West, with period and replica antiques.
The grand dame of northern Colorado historic resort hotels, the Stanley boasts great mountain views, splendid dining and even ghost tours of the building on weekend nights! And if it's ghosts you're after, you should book room 401 to increase your chances of ghost-spotting – staff consider it the 'most haunted'. The public areas encompass vast open spaces warmed with stone fireplaces and plump leather couches. If you're looking for old-world charm with a bit of a supernatural twist, the Stanley is the hotel to visit.
