About this property

The Stanley Hotel is a 140-room Georgian Revival hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, United States, about 5 miles (8.0 km) from the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. The hotel is considered one of America's most haunted hotels. It includes a restaurant, spa, and bed-and-breakfast; with panoramic views of Lake Estes, the Rockies, and Longs Peak. In May 2025, it was reported that the century-old hotel had been acquired by The Stanley Partnership for Art Culture and Education for $400 million. It is a public-private partnership formed by CEFCA (Colorado Educational and Cultural Facilities Authority), former owner John Cullen IV now chairman of the ownership board, and private bond investors.
