The Most Beautiful National Park Hotels in the US | Condé Nast Traveler
"About a 10-minute drive from the Fall River and Beaver Meadows entrances to Rocky Mountain National Park, I find the iconic Stanley Hotel in Estes Park to be a historic property that has hosted visitors since 1909 and is famed for inspiring Stephen King’s The Shining; guests can book historic day or night tours (including spooky ones), enjoy whiskey tastings, and choose from historic rooms, renovated boutique units, or apartments while using the hotel as a base for hiking, horseback riding, fishing, snowshoeing, or driving Trail Ridge Road." - Caitlin Morton
