STANLEY HOTEL TOUR
At its opening in 1909, the hotel built by the wealthy industrialist and entrepreneur Freelan Oscar Stanley is already a very popular place where you need a personal invitation from him to be able to visit. With the creation of the Rocky Mountain National Park a few years later, the hotel becomes even more popular. But it's Stephen King's arrival that will end the reputation of the establishment. Staying out of season, the writer finds himself in a near-phantom hotel with half-dated chairs on the tables and almost no soul that lives. It is in this strange and cumbersome atmosphere that the intrigue of his famous novel Shining, the light child (1977), takes place. The novel will then be adapted to the cinema successfully by the famous director Stanley Kubrick, who will prefer to change the worrying Jack Nicholson in the scenery of the Timberline Lodge in Oregon. If you like to have chicken meat, visit a Night Spirit Tour tour, and if you are interested in the historical side, plan the Historic Hotel Tour.
