Colorado's Stanley Hotel, which served as the inspiration for the Overlook Hotel in Stephen King's novel "The Shining" and the subsequent film adaptation, will now be managed by Sage Hospitality Group.
The move follows the Colorado Educational and Cultural Facilities Authority's recent acquisition of the 68-acre property through its subsidiary, the Stanley Partnership for Art Culture and Education (SPACE). The hotel's former owner, John W. Cullen IV, will remain involved with the property as SPACE's chairman and CEO.
Located in Estes Park, the Stanley Hotel was built in 1909 and is currently home to 191 guestrooms, multiple food and beverage outlets, the Stanley Live entertainment venue, a wellness center and spa, and 25,000 square feet of meeting space.
The property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a member of the Historic Hotels of America.
"The Stanley Hotel represents everything we look for in a landmark property: a rich history, innovative programming and deep community connections," said Daniel del Olmo, president and co-CEO of Sage Hospitality Group.
The company said future plans call for a hotel expansion and a horror film museum in partnership with Blumhouse, a film and television production company.
Other Sage Hospitality properties include Perry Lane in Savannah, Georgia; One Ocean Resort in Atlantic Beach, Florida; The Lodge at Sonoma in California; and Hotel Alpenrock in Breckenridge, Colorado.
