This hotel got its fame for being the inspiration behind Stephen King’s ‘The Shining’, based on the classic 1980 film.

THE STANLEY HOTEL AND BEARS

Situated in Estes Park, The Stanley Hotel opened in 1909. Their aim is to be respectful of nature and the surrounding wildlife.

Reed Rowley, the hotel’s vice president understands that guests don’t want to encounter dangerous wildlife in the hotel lobby.

In conjunction with Colorado Parks and Wildlife, they are working to achieve that goal.

This incident that unfolded early on Thursday morning and the events inspiring King’s novel both have one thing in common; a black bear wandering the lobby.

WHAT REED ROWLEY HAD TO SAY

“We do have a hotel next to a national park,” Rowley said. “Wildlife is part of the gig.”

300 Guests were sound asleep when the bear figured out how to open the door.

He climbed over furniture which got rearranged but there was no damage.

Soon after the bear walked out the lower level door.

The Stanley Hotel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
