Construction started in 1906 and was completed in1909 by Freelan O. Stanley of the Stanley Steamer fame.

While staying a the the Stanley Hotel, Stephen King conceived his idea of his book, the Shining and the 1997  TV miniseries was filmed on this location as "Overlook Hotel". Another notable movie, Dumb and Dumber was also filmed here naming the Stanley Hotel as "Hotel Danbury".
TAPS, The Atlantic Paranormal Society, did an investigation of the Stanley Hotel in May 2006, and returned on Halloween night of 2006 for a live six hour follow-up investigation.

The fourth floor, which was originally the servant quarters seems to have a lot of ghostly activity, in fact, room 418 has the most ghostly activity reported. It is often reported that children are heard running up and down the hall playing, when in actuality, there are no children staying at the Stanly..

Mr Stanley is often seen in the Billiard room, or the lobby. The Billiard room was Mr Stanley's favorite room when he was still alive. It is reported that he would play on the pool table for hours, with the guest, or by himself. Bartenders working at the Stanley Hotel report seeing Mr Stanley walking behind the bar and disappearing when they confront him.
Freelan's wife, Flora purportedly still plays the piano in the Music room. Guest's, hearing the music, will look in the music room and see the keys moving but when they enter the room, the movement of the keys and the music stops.

Strange noises have been reported by the cleaning crews coming from room 418 and impressions of someone or something laying on the bed have also been seen.
A guest staying at the Stanley in 2002, recorded a man with a mustache and wearing a cowboy hat staring out the window of room 408, upon checking with the front desk it was determined that no one was staying in that room.
