Single barrels or special bottles, the Vault is a collection of The Stanley’s other spirits (ONLY available here at the hotel). Most of these selections are 1 of less than 200 bottles in existence. The Vault offers private, curated tastings exploring a little whiskey history, classifications (What’s a bourbon?), and the best way to enjoy it (however you like). Tastings accommodate all levels of spirits enthusiasts.

Immerse yourself in the history of The Stanley Hotel after dark!

For those of you who don't know Stephen King Was Inspired to Write the Book Because of a Nightmare He Had at the Hotel. In September 1974, Stephen King and his wife, Tabby, spent a night at The Stanley Hotel (room 217, to be exact) and were the only guests on the entire property. There are plenty of other ghost stories surrounding the hotel and this is your chance to get a first hand experience!

The Stanley Hotel Spirited Night Tour is a 60-minute walking tour that will take you through the dark edges of the hotel. It is a unique way to experience the hotel's spirited tales with a knowledgeable storyteller under the ambiance of nighttime in the Rocky Mountains. Each tour offers you opportunities to explore, ask questions, and perhaps leave with a few stories of your own.
