The Stanley Hotel is a 140-room Colonial Revival hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, United States. It is about five miles from the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. It was built by Freelan Oscar Stanley of Stanley Steamer fame and opened on July 4, 1909. It was built as a resort for rich people and a health retreat for tuberculosis victims.[1]
