Few hotels in America are so magnificent—and mystery-shrouded—as the Stanley, which you’ll call home during this Estes Park Halloween-time DreamTrip.
Stephen King was inspired to write “The Shining” after spending a night in an otherwise empty Stanley Hotel back in the 1970s. You’ll feel the deliciously eerie spirit of that book (immortalized in a film adaptation by Stanley Kubrick) as you wander the ornate front rooms and corridors. Beyond the supernatural associations, The Stanley is a sumptuously designed and breathtakingly beautiful hotel. From the Rocky Mountain views out its windows to the soothing treatments of the Amethyst Spa, the accommodations are elegant.
The hotel also offers some truly fine dining in Cascades Restaurant, as well as the classy Whiskey Bar for swapping ghost stories over a highball or glass of wine.
