A Living History

Known first to the Ute and Arapaho nations and later coveted by Anglo-Irish nobility, the history of Estes Park is one of adventure, hunting and healing. Then, in the early 1900s, after F.O. Stanley made Estes Park his home, The Stanley Hotel took its place in the history books as a jewel of the park. The rest is a history that continues to grow to this very day…what story will your stay tell?

Majestic Mountains

Known as the Gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park, Estes Park is far more than a stopover before the main event; it is a destination in its own right. From the beauty of the blue lake to the 200+ breathtaking trails, nature enthusiasts of all abilities come to bask in the restorative mountain air, see the stunning wildlife, and enjoy the welcoming nightlife. Situated at the head of the park, The Stanley Hotel is perfectly positioned for mountain adventure and well-deserved wellness.

Legendary Lore

If these walls could talk, they would tell all kinds of tales… A nightmare so vivid it inspired Stephen King’s cult horror novel, stories of guests who never checked out, and mysterious natural happenings. The Stanley Hotel holds a special place on every paranormal bucket list and welcomes mystery seekers to join tours, events, and stays curated with the other side in mind.

Transformative Restoration

Estes Park has been a destination of restoration for centuries, and, whether through the peace and quiet, fresh air, or lime-rich grounds, many guests have found it here. The legacy of mountain wellness continues to this day at the Aspire Hotel & Spa, where wellness treatments, mountain views, and curated spaces are offered to rejuvenate body and spirit alike.

The Next Chapter

The Stanley is entering an exciting new chapter, building on more than a century of history while creating new opportunities for culture, storytelling, and connection in the years ahead.

As part of this vision, the 41-acre Stanley campus has been thoughtfully positioned for long-term cultural and public benefit through the Stanley Partnership for Art, Culture and Education (SPACE), a wholly controlled subsidiary of the Colorado Educational and Cultural Facilities Authority (CECFA). This partnership supports the continued evolution of The Stanley, including the highly anticipated Stanley Film Center and expanded opportunities for arts, education, entertainment, and tourism.

As this work progresses, guests may notice occasional construction activity, temporary fencing, or alternative routes in select areas of the property. Every effort is being made to thoughtfully manage activity and minimize its impact, preserving the atmosphere, comfort, and sense of escape that define a stay at The Stanley.

Throughout this new chapter, guests can continue to enjoy the experiences that have made The Stanley a destination for generations, from historic tours and spirited evenings to curated dining, sweeping mountain views, and the unmistakable sense of wonder found throughout the property.

These investments are designed to honor The Stanley’s legacy while thoughtfully shaping its future as a year-round destination for culture, creativity, and connection in the Rocky Mountains.
