THE STANLEY HOTEL, Estes Park

The Stanley Hotel - A historic 1909 landmark with paranormal folklore, Tesla superchargers, and Rocky Mountain views

Situated in Estes Park hotel territory, The Stanley Hotel's white four-story Georgian Colonial building stands as a testament to F.O. Stanley's 1909 vision. The property encompasses 41000 square feet of event space against Long's Peak backdrop, featuring four distinct dining venues including Cascades Restaurant and The Whiskey Bar, which houses Colorado's largest whiskey collection. Guest accommodations span four buildings: the original Stanley structure, The Lodge with boutique-style rooms, the modern Aspire with apartment-style suites, and The Residences offering condo-style units with full kitchens. A hidden underground theater hosts world-class magicians beneath the original Carriage House. Seven Tesla supercharging stations provide up to 120kW charging capacity. Located 6 miles from Rocky Mountain National Park and 62 miles from Denver International Airport, the hotel serves as a gateway to outdoor adventures.
