Shining Hotel

Super cool! I did not participate in the tour they offer, but you can. You can also just walk around. However they don’t let you go upstairs unless you’re a guest. Which was disappointing but also completely understandable. Scenes were absolutely stunning. There’s also a little trail around the back where you can hike up and over look the whole area.

The Stanley Hotel is an unforgettable destination, especially for fans of The Shining! I took the Shining Tour, and it was incredible. The guide was knowledgeable and entertaining, sharing fascinating stories about the hotel’s history, its connection to Stephen King’s iconic novel, and its supposed paranormal activity. The highlight for me was getting to see the famous axe, which was such a cool and eerie moment. Walking through the historic halls felt like stepping into the movie, and the beautiful architecture and stunning mountain views added to the experience. Even if you’re not into ghost stories, the Stanley Hotel is worth a visit for its history and charm. But if you’re a fan of The Shining, this tour is a must. Highly recommend!

Come on its the Stanley, you can't go wrong here guys!!!! We have visited a couple times and went to the New Years bash as well as stayed over a couple nights which was an awesome experience. I will say I did try setting a few things up for the "ghost" but didn't have anything spooky happen, but the winter maze and landscape made up for it for sure as well as the ghost tours that we really enjoyed. Great job guys and keep it up!!!!

The hotel was so fun, especially as a Stephen King fan. The bar was so cool, but they charged us $6 each for a plain ginger ale (kind of weird, but okay). Also, the room was adorable, but it wasn't the cleanest. Most hotels aren't nowadays, so the staff needs more time for proper cleaning. It was such a beautiful place, and the authenticity made it extra special (talking about that elevator!)

Very cool experience for fans visiting the shining hotel. We arrived late at night and the front desk man gave us free water bottles. The hotel and outside area looks beautiful at night. The next morning we went shopping in the basement and for a lovely coffee at the cafe down there, and walk to the maze outside and the pet cemetery behind the wedding pavilion building. The gift shop was really fun and we got some wonderful memorabilia there. Then we walked over to The Post for brunch and I had the chicken and waffles with a Red Rum drink….those chicken and waffles with the pumpkin seed butter and hot cherry jam was the best thing I ever ate. WOW!! I would love to go again and show someone else the experience! The drive is beautiful from Denver as well
