Johnny cash was here that's all I have I say about that. And it's the inspiration for some movie that wasn't filmed here.
Amber ConnorMarch 22, 2011
They have a paranormal investigator on staff that can teach you how to use ghost hunting tools. Ask about lucy's room in the concert hall.
Gary GristAugust 20, 2014
Really good breakfast and friendly staff!

Great view of the mountains from this room
Markus NeuertSeptember 16, 2015
Great hotel from the outside. From the inside probably a bit overrated and expensive.

Take the ghost and history tour with Tyler. He's funny, engaging and flat out awesome!
Laura Johnson-SpearsSeptember 16, 2013

Channel 1-2 (SHINE) shows The Shining on a continuous loop in every room.

Get the truffle fries in the bar.
Hans CramerNovember 29, 2013
Best view is in front of pool

If you have a ghost in your room and you dont want to be bothered ask it to leave... in our case ask 4 different times nicely.
Lindsay KoehlerFebruary 20, 2011
Take lots of pics on the tour using your rapid fire camera setting. Post any usual exposures to their Facebook page.

Wonderful place
Ryan FreitasOctober 15, 2011
The Delta Chi convention was held here in 1929. Hazing was abolished this year..or so it's said.
Melinda McCulloughApril 29, 2019
History! Views! It was snowing in April though!
DJ David SmithOctober 25, 2011

Though 1994's "Dumb and Dumber" claims to take place in Aspen Colorado, the fictional "Danbuy Hotel" was actually the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park. Read more

The whiskey selection is out of this world. But, the food is average and expensive.

Hit the bar and get the charcutery board.
Scott BrownJanuary 3, 2011
If you stay, they have one TV channel that continuously plays The Shining (though, as others have said, none of the movie was filmed here).
Jake JohnsonJune 16, 2013
You should try the pulled pork sandwich!
Dave FloydAugust 13, 2012
Been here 5+ times
If you can get up to the 4th floor, try to find the ghostly perfume.
Patty McPhieJuly 19, 2012
Try the Thin Aire or the Longs Peak Lemonade!
Jana AbramsheOctober 13, 2014
Very gimmicky and over-priced. Most of the employees are grouchy and unfriendly. Oh and paid $500 for an upgraded experience only to find out there's no breakfast for people staying in main building.
Norman ApplegateSeptember 14, 2011
Had the local trout, one of the best I've tasted.
Donna McSwainJuly 20, 2015
Ghost tours! Beautiful historic hotel!
Leah ISeptember 2, 2010
next time Im doing the Ghost Hunt Tour. You actually ghost hunt with people that specialize in paranomal activities..... This is where Stephen King got his idea for the shining....
Joanna PiacenzaMay 14, 2012
Go for one of the scotch selections, the themed "speciality cocktails" are underwhelming.
Jared PottsAugust 4, 2013
This was the hotel from Dumb & Dumber... Not just "The Shining".
Kristine CarrollNovember 7, 2010
Take the tour! Kevin is an awesome and entertaining tour guide!
Hamaki KuroMarch 24, 2012
Actually no parts of Stanley Kubricks movie "The Shining" were filmd here, but the story is based here
Josh LoweNovember 5, 2014
Cool place to visit

Fan of Stephen King? Stay at the uber-famous Stanley Hotel, where The Shining was filmed. Designed with vintage decor and rumored to be haunted. Come during Christmas where a fancy feast is served!
Ben GaspariniSeptember 7, 2016
Was definitely creepy in some areas.
Duncan PJSeptember 23, 2014
urge to kill rising.....
Adam HevenorNovember 12, 2011
None of the Shining was actually filmed here but Stephen King wrote the book after spending a night in room 217.
Victor RobertsJune 13, 2014
Take the haunted history tour.
James YoungJuly 8, 2012
Tough Call. Pretty to look at, but because it's an old building, you can hear even the most normal conversation in your neighbor's room. Burned out by the endless tourist throng, staff manners suck.
Todd TumbergJune 19, 2015
The ghosts, of course.
DV Green🌀July 29, 2011
Randomly start saying "Redrum Redrum"..neither the hotel staff or guests will care.

If you like ghosts, ask for room 401!

They don't like having non-guests hunt for ghosts upstairs.
