I went on a road trip for a few weeks around Colorado with my best friend last August and we were able to stay at the famous Stanley Hotel that the movie The Shining is based off of. The hotel was actually built by the inventor of the Stanley Steamer car, Freelan Oscar Stanley. It is located in Estes Park, Colorado and is basically the centerpiece of the town up on a hill that allows you to see it immediately as you finally make it out of the mountains. The hotel has a Georgian and Colonial Revival style architecture and is very grand with its large build and white sides with a red roof. The vibrant colors of the hotel allow it to pop out easily and show its beauty to everyone around. The entire building is gorgeous and is located in such a beautiful area. The history of the building is amazing to hear about and there have been so many incredible historical figures that have made their way through the halls here.
