Approximately five miles from the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park , the Stanley offers panoramic views of Lake Estes , the Rockies and especially Long 's Peak . It was built by Freelan Oscar Stanley of Stanley Steamer fame and opened on July 4 , 1909 , catering to the American upper class at the turn of the century . The hotel and its surrounding structures are listed on the National Register of Historic Places . The Stanley Hotel hosted the horror novelist Stephen King , serving as inspiration for the Overlook Hotel in his 1977 bestseller The Shining and its 1980 film adaption of the same name , as well as the location for the 1997 miniseries . Today , it includes a restaurant , spa , and bed - and - breakfast and provides guided tours which feature the history and alleged paranormal activity of the site .

The most highly recommended treatment of the day was fresh , dry air with lots of sunlight and a hearty diet . Therefore , like many `` lungers '' of his day , Stanley resolved to take the curative air of Rocky Mountain Colorado . He and Flora arrived in Denver in March and , in June , decided to spend the rest of the summer in the mountains , in Estes Park . Over the course of the season , Stanley 's health improved dramatically . Impressed by the beauty of the valley and grateful for his recovery , he decided to return every year . He lived to the ripe age of 91 , dying of a heart attack in Newton , Massachusetts , one year after his wife , in 1940 . By 1907 , Stanley had recovered completely . However , not content with the rustic accommodations , lazy pastimes and relaxed social scene of their new summer home , Stanley resolved to turn Estes Park into a resort town . In 1907 , construction began on the Hotel Stanley , a 48 - room grand hotel that catered to the class of wealthy urbanites who composed the Stanleys ' social circle back east . The 4th Earl of Dunraven and Mount - Earl The land was officially purchased in 1908 through the representatives of Lord Dunraven , the Anglo - Irish peer who had originally acquired it by stretching the provisions of the Homestead Act and pre-emption rights . Between 1872 and 1884 , Dunraven claimed 15,000 acres ( 61 km ) of the Estes Valley in an unsuccessful attempt to create a private hunting preserve , making him one of the largest foreign holders of American lands . Unpopular with the local ranchers and farmers , Dunraven left the area for the last time in 1884 relegating the ranch to the management of an overseer . Dunraven 's presence in Colorado had become so well known in the United States that his situation was parodied in Charles King 's novel Dunraven Ranch ( 1892 ) as well as James A. Michener 's Centennial ( 1974 ) . His reputation was such that , when Stanley suggested `` The Dunraven '' as a name for his new hotel , 180 people signed a buckskin petition requesting that he name it for himself instead . The structure was completed in 1909 and featured a hydraulic elevator , dual electric and gas lighting , running water , a telephone in every guest room and a fleet of specially - designed Stanley `` Model Z '' Mountain Wagons to bring guests from the train depot twenty miles away ; all of this at a time when Estes Park was little more than a locale for hunters and naturalists . Originally , Stanley chose an ocher color for the hotel 's exterior with white accents and trim . The hotel was not equipped with heat until 1983 and closed for the winter every year . The presence of the hotel and Stanley 's own involvement greatly contributed to the growth of Estes Park ( incorporated in 1917 ) and the creation of the Rocky Mountain National Park ( established in 1915 ) . Stanley operated the hotel almost as a pastime remarking once that he spent more money than he made each summer . In 1926 , he sold the Stanley to a private company incorporated for the sole purpose of running it . The venture failed and , in 1929 , Stanley purchased his property out of foreclosure selling it again , in 1930 , to fellow auto and hotel magnate Roe Emery of Denver . During Emery 's tenure as owner , the structures were painted white inside and out and most of the original electro - gas fixtures were replaced . Gallery ( edit ) June 2008 February 2011 South elevation Lobby looking east Music Room looking south Architecture ( edit ) The Stanley Hotel National Register Historic District contains eleven contributing buildings including the main hotel , a concert hall , carriage house and The Lodge , a smaller bed - and - breakfast originally called Stanley Manor . The buildings were designed by F.O. Stanley with the professional assistance of Denver architect T. Robert Wieger , Henry `` Lord Cornwallis '' Rogers , and contractor Frank Kirchoff . The site was chosen for its vantage overlooking the Estes valley and Long 's Peak within the National Park . The main building is a steel - frame structure with wood cladding resting upon a granite masonry foundation . Wood for flooring , clapboarding and finishing was brought from Kirchoff 's Denver Lumberyard and the Bluff City Lumber Company of Pine Bluff , Arkansas . The Griffith sawmill near Bierstadt Lake and Stanley 's own Hidden Valley lumber operation , located in the future national park , supplied framing material . The materials were brought to Lyons , Colorado by rail and thence to Estes Park by mule - drawn wagon . Simultaneously , Stanley oversaw the construction of a hydroelectric power plant which brought electricity to Estes Park for the first time in 1909 . Stanley claimed that his hotel was the first to be powered entirely by electricity from the lighting to the kitchens . Water was supplied by the Black Canyon Creek which was dammed in 1906 . The style of the campus is so - called Colonial Revival . Although rare in the western United States , F.O. Stanley chose the Colonial Revival for its fashionable popularity in New England where he had already designed his own home and a social club in the style . The hotel 's clientele would presumably , like the Stanleys , have identified the style with New England respectability and sophistication in contrast to the rusticity of the surrounding town . At one time , Stanley planned to build another , more economical hotel in Estes Park as well as a headquarters and residence for the superintendent of the Rocky Mountain National Park in the same style , to harmonize with his grand hotel . While the forms and layouts of the buildings are suited to their modern uses , their ornamentation exhibits the stylistic hallmarks of Georgian or Federal architecture from the staunch symmetry of the south elevation to the cupola , dormers , Palladian windows , side - and fan - lights , scroll brackets and `` swan 's neck '' pediments that articulate the exterior . Main building ( edit ) The floor plan of the main hotel building was laid out to accommodate the various activities popular with the American upper class at the turn of the twentieth century and the spaces are decorated accordingly . The music room , for instance , with its cream - colored walls ( originally green and white ) , large windows and fine , classical plaster - work was designed for letter - writing during the day and chamber music at night - cultured pursuits perceived as feminine . On the other hand , the smoking lounge ( today the Piñon Room ) and adjoining billiard room , with their dark stained - wood elements and granite fireplace were designated for enjoyment by male guests . Stanley himself , having been raised in a Protestant household in the tee - totaling State of Maine and having recovered from a serious lung disease , did not smoke cigars or drink alcohol , but these were essential after - dinner activities for most men at the time . Billiards , however , was among Stanley 's most cherished pastimes . The layout was also determined by air circulation . The window at the top of the grand stair provides a pleasant breeze across the lobby , French doors in the state rooms open onto shaded verandas and the two curving staircases connecting the guest corridors prevent stagnant air in the upper floors . Although the hotel was finally updated with central heating in 1983 , guests still depend on Rocky Mountain breezes for cooling in the summer . Also completed in 1983 , the hotel 's service tunnel connects the basement level to the staff entrance . It is cut directly through the granite on which the hotel sits . Concert hall ( edit ) The concert hall , east of the hotel , was built by Stanley in 1909 with the assistance of Henry `` Lord Cornwallis '' Rogers , the same architect who designed his summer cottage . According to popular legend , it was built as a gift for Flora Stanley who was an avid pianist despite her failing eyesight . The interior is decorated in the same manner as the smaller music room and somewhat resembles that of the Boston Symphony Hall ( McKim , Mead & White , 1900 ) with which the Stanleys may have been familiar . The stage features a trap door , used for theatrical entrances and exits . The lower level once housed a bowling alley . This feature has long since disappeared but it possibly resembled the one at the Stanley 's Hunnewell Club in Newton , pictures of which are archived in the Newton Free Library . The hall underwent extensive repair and renovation in the 2000s . The Lodge ( edit ) Once called Stanley Manor , this smaller hotel between the main structure and the concert hall is a 2 : 3 scaled - down version of the main hotel . Unlike its model , the manor was fully heated from completion in 1910 which may indicate that Stanley planned to use it as a winter resort when the main building was closed for the season . However , unlike many other Colorado mountain towns now famous for their winter sports , Estes Park never attracted off - season visitors in Stanley 's day and the manor remained empty for much of the year . Today it is called The Lodge and serves as a bed - and - breakfast off - limits to the public . The hedge maze ( edit ) In 2015 , the open area in front of the hotel , originally a driveway for Stanley Steamers and a promenade for guests to enjoy mountain views , was replaced with a hedge maze . This non-historic feature was added to evoke the hotel 's connection to The Shining . Although a hedge maze features prominently in Stanley Kubrick 's version of The Shining , no such feature can be found in Stephen King 's novel . The lawn of the Overlook Hotel , as King imagined it , was adorned with topiary animals and it was set that way for the shooting of the miniseries in 1996 . Historically , neither feature existed at the Stanley . The design was the result of a competition , chosen from amongst 300 entrants from across the globe . The winning submission was designed by New York architect Mairim Dallaryan Standing . In 2016 , John Cullen , owner of the Stanley Hotel , announced a competition for a sculpture to be the centerpiece of the terrace in front of the hotel . Sculptors Sutton Betti and Daniel Glanz won the competition with a sculpture of F.O. Stanley holding one of his violins . The sculpture was installed and dedicated on September 29 , 2016 . They used another hotel to film the outside shots and the Stanley for inside shots . The Shining ( edit ) Cover of The Shining , first edition , 1977 On October 30 , 1974 , horror writer Stephen King and his wife Tabitha spent one night at the Stanley Hotel during their one year of residency in Boulder , Colorado . They were driving through Estes Park as night approached when they happened upon the Stanley Hotel . They decided to book a room and , upon checking in , discovered that they were the only overnight guests . `` They were just getting ready to close for the season , and we found ourselves the only guests in the place -- with all those long , empty corridors . '' He and his wife were served dinner in an empty dining room accompanied by canned orchestral music . `` Except for our table all the chairs were up on the tables . So the music is echoing down the hall , and , I mean , it was like God had put me there to hear that and see those things . '' That night , according to King , `` I dreamed of my three - year - old son running through the corridors , looking back over his shoulder , eyes wide , screaming . He was being chased by a fire - hose . I woke up with a tremendous jerk , sweating all over , within an inch of falling out of bed . I got up , lit a cigarette , sat in a chair looking out the window at the Rockies , and by the time the cigarette was done , I had the bones of The Shining firmly set in my mind . '' The Shining was published in 1977 and became the third great success of King 's career after Carrie and ' Salem 's Lot . The Overlook Hotel - the fictional hotel in King 's book inspired by the Stanley - is an evil entity haunted by its many victims . Room 217 of the Overlook features prominently in the novel , having been the room where King spent the night at the Stanley . This is the room on the second floor in the center of the west wing with a balcony overlooking the south terrace . Room 217 remains the hotel 's most requested accommodation . Film location and arts venue ( edit ) In 1980 , The Shining became the basis for a film adaptation directed by Stanley Kubrick . Kubrick 's vision for the movie differed from King 's significantly in many ways , including the portrayal of the Overlook Hotel . The exteriors of Kubrick 's Overlook were supplied by the Timberline Lodge on the slopes of Mt . Hood in Oregon . Inspiration for the interior sets ( erected at Elstree Studios in England ) came from the 1927 Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park . The management of the Timberline Lodge , fearful that guests would refuse to stay in their Room 217 if it were featured in a horror movie , insisted that Kubrick change the haunted room in the film to Room 237 . In 1997 The Shining TV series was produced , with the Stanley Hotel as the primary shooting location . A playhouse version of the main building which adorned the lawn of the Overlook Hotel in the series can be viewed in the basement of the Stanley . The Hotel has also been used as a filming location for other movies and TV shows ; most notably , as the fictional `` Hotel Danbury '' of Aspen , CO , in the 1994 film Dumb and Dumber . From 2013 to 2015 , the hotel property hosted the Stanley Film Festival , an independent horror film festival operated by the Denver Film Society , held in early May . The festival featured screenings , panels , student competitions , audience awards and receptions . The Stanley Film Festival was put on hiatus in 2016 , and canceled for 2017 . The historic Stanley Concert Hall serves as venue for various musical groups such as country - punk band Murder By Death which has performed a Shining - themed series of concerts in the space . Haunted reputation ( edit ) Despite a peaceful early history , in the years following the publication of The Shining , The Stanley Hotel has gained a reputation among paranormal investigators for frequent activity . The hotel offers guided `` Ghost Tours '' to guests and visitors which feature spaces reputed to be exceptionally active . The hotel has also served as a location for numerous paranormal investigation shows such as Ghost Hunters and Ghost Adventures . Famous guests ( edit ) The Stanley Hotel has hosted the following persons of note : 1934 - Erich Fromm , the German psychoanalyst 1936 - Gov. Alf Landon ( R , Kansas ) : opponent to Franklin Delano Roosevelt 's re-election 1974 - Stephen King , author who was inspired to write The Shining from his stay in room 217 1976 - Bob Dylan & Joan Baez , classic rock icons during the Rolling Thunder Revue tour 1994 - HM Emperor Akihito of Japan with consort and crown prince , on a state visit to the US Ownership History ( edit ) 1908 - 26 - Freelan Oscar Stanley 1926 - 29 - The Stanley Corporation 1929 - 30 - Freelan Oscar Stanley 1930 - ? - Roe Emery Maurice L.

She was baptised on 27 August . Alphonsamma , as she was locally known , was born in Arpookara , a village in the princely state of Travancore within Kerala , India . This lies within the Archdiocese of Changanassery . Her parents nicknamed her Annakkutty ( little Anna ) . She had a difficult childhood and experienced loss and suffering early on in life . Anna 's mother died when she was young , so her maternal aunt raised her . Hagiographies describe her early life as one of suffering at the hands of her stern foster mother and the teasing of schoolchildren . Anna was educated by her great - uncle , Father Joseph Muttathupadathu . When Anna was three - years - old , she contracted eczema and suffered for over a year . In 1916 Anna started school in Arpookara . She received her First Communion on 27 November 1917 . In 1918 she was transferred to a school in Muttuchira . Anna was from a rich family and because of that she received many marriage proposals from reputed families . Her foster mother wanted her to become a perfect housewife in a rich household . However , Anna sacrificed all this material fortune and wanted to dedicate her life to Jesus Christ . In 1923 , Anna 's feet were burnt when she fell into a pit of burning chaff ; local hagiographies describe this as a self - inflicted injury in order to avoid her foster mother 's attempt to arrange a marriage for her and thereby to fulfill her desire for becoming a Religious Sister instead . This accident left her permanently partially disabled . Sister Alphonsa ( edit ) When it became possible , Anna joined the Franciscan Clarist Congregation , a religious congregation of the Third Order of St. Francis , and through them , completed her schooling . Anna arrived at the Clarist convent at Bharananganam , Kottayam district , on Pentecost Sunday 1927 . She received the postulant 's veil on 2 August 1928 and took the name Alphonsa of the Immaculate Conception in honour of St. Alphonsus Ligouri , whose feast day it was . In May 1929 Sister Alphonsa was assigned to teach at Malayalam High School at Vazhappally . Her foster mother died in 1930 . She resumed her studies at Changanacherry , while working as a temporary teacher at a school at Vakakkad . On 19 May 1930 Alphonsa entered the novitiate of the congregation at Bharananganam . On 11 August 1931 she completed the novitiate and took her first vows . Health decline ( edit ) The period 1930 -- 1935 was characterised by grave illness . Sister Alphonsa took her permanent vows on 12 August 1936 . Two days later she returned to Bharananganam from Changanacherry . She then taught high school at St. Alphonsa Girl 's High School , but was often sick and unable to teach . For most of her years as a Clarist Sister she endured serious illness . In December 1936 , it is claimed that she was cured from her ailments through the intervention of the Kuriakose Elias Chavara ( who was beatified at the same ceremony as she ) , but on 14 June 1939 she was struck by a severe attack of pneumonia which left her weakened . On 18 October 1940 , a thief entered her room in the middle of the night . This traumatic event caused her to suffer amnesia and weakened her again . Her health continued to deteriorate over a period of months . She received extreme unction on 29 September 1941 . The next day it is believed that she regained her memory , though not complete health . Her health improved over the next few years , until in July 1945 she developed gastroenteritis and liver problems that caused violent convulsions and vomiting . During the last year of her life she came to know Father Sebastian Valopilly ( later Bishop of Kerala ) who frequently brought her communion . This bishop became famous in Kerala for championing the cause of poor people from all religious backgrounds who had come to live in Thalassery as a result of shortages elsewhere . Death ( edit ) After a series of serious health problems , she died on 28 July 1946 , at a young age of 35 . She was buried at St. Mary 's Catholic Church , Bharananganam , Travancore ( present day ( Kottayam ) in the Diocese of Palai . Veneration ( edit ) Claims of her miraculous intervention began almost immediately upon her death and often involved the children of the convent school where she used to teach . On 2 December 1953 , Cardinal Eugène Tisserant inaugurated the diocesan process for her beatification and Alphonsa was declared a Servant of God . In 1985 , Pope John Paul II formally approved a miracle attributed to her intercession and on 9 July she became `` Venerable Sister Alphonsa '' . Beatification ( edit ) Venerable Sister Alphonsa was beatified along with Father Kuriakose Elias Chavara , T.O.C.D. , at Kottayam , on 8 February 1986 by Pope John Paul II during his Apostolic Pilgrimage to India . During his speech at Nehru Stadium , the Pope said : From early in her life , Sister Alphonsa experienced great suffering . With the passing of the years , the heavenly Father gave her an ever fuller share in the Passion of his beloved Son . We recall how she experienced not only physical pain of great intensity , but also the spiritual suffering of being misunderstood and misjudged by others . But she constantly accepted all her sufferings with serenity and trust in God. ... She wrote to her spiritual director : `` Dear Father , as my good Lord Jesus loves me so very much , I sincerely desire to remain on this sick bed and suffer not only this , but anything else besides , even to the end of the world . I feel now that God has intended my life to be an oblation , a sacrifice of suffering '' ( 20 November 1944 ) . She came to love suffering because she loved the suffering Christ . She learned to love the Cross through her love of the crucified Lord . Miracles ( edit ) Hundreds of miraculous cures are claimed from her intervention , many of them involving straightening of clubbed feet , possibly because of her having lived with deformed feet herself . Two of these cases were submitted to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints as proof of her miraculous intervention . The continuing cures are chronicled in the magazine PassionFlower . Bishop Sebastian reported : About ten years ago , when I was in a small village in Wayanad outside Manatavady , I saw a boy walking with some difficulty , using a stick . As he approached me I noted that both of his feet were turned upside down . I had a stack of holy cards in my pocket with Alphonsa 's picture on them , so I pulled one of them out and gave it to the boy . When I told the boy that he should pray to this woman for the cure of his feet , the boy -- he was quite smart for a ten - year - old boy -- replied : `` But I 'm a Muslim , and , besides , I was born this way . '' I replied that God is very powerful , so let 's pray . A few months later , a boy and a gentleman appeared at the house here . I did n't recognize them at first but soon learned that it was the Muslim boy with his father , here to tell me that his feet had been cured through their prayers to Sister Alphonsa . They showed me the calluses on the tops of his feet , and you could see the marks which had been made from the years of his walking with his feet turned under . Before they left , the three of us had our pictures taken . The boy had reportedly taken Alphonsa 's picture card and asked Alphonsa to help fix his feet . Several days afterwards one of his feet supposedly turned around . He and the other members of his family then prayed for the cure of the second foot , which also supposedly turned around later . Canonization ( edit ) Birth centenary Commemorative coin released by the Reserve Bank of India On Sunday , 12 October 2008 , Pope Benedict XVI announced her canonization at a ceremony at Saint Peter 's Square . Indians from across the world , especially people from Kerala , gathered at the ceremony in Rome . Among them was a 10 - year - old Kerala boy Jinil Joseph whose clubfoot -- a birth defect -- was , in the judgment of Vatican officials , miraculously healed after prayers to Alphonsa in 1999 . The final ceremony for the canonization began with the holy relics of Alphonsa being presented to the Pope by Sister Celia , Mother General of the Franciscan Clarist Congregation , the congregation to which Sister Alphonsa belonged . Sister Celia was accompanied by Vice Postulator Father Francis Vadakkel and former Kerala minister K.M. Mani , all holding lit candles . Speaking in English , the Pope declared Sister Alphonsa a saint , after reading excerpts from the Bible . The Pope himself read out the biography of Alphonsa after the ceremony . In the homily , Pope Benedict XVI recalled Saint Alphonsa 's life as one of `` extreme physical and spiritual suffering '' . This exceptional woman ... was convinced that her cross was the very means of reaching the heavenly banquet prepared for her by the Father , , , , By accepting the invitation to the wedding feast , and by adorning herself with the garment of God 's grace through prayer and penance , she conformed her life to Christ 's and now delights in the `` rich fare and choice wines '' of the heavenly kingdom . `` ( Her ) heroic virtues of patience , fortitude and perseverance in the midst of deep suffering remind us that God always provides the strength we need to overcome every trial , '' the pope stated before the ceremony ended . The canonization was greeted with the bursting of firecrackers and the toll of church bells . St Mary 's Forane church at Kudmaloor , her home parish , also celebrated a special Mass . The grave at St Mary 's Forane Church in Bharananganam where the Franciscan Clarist Sister was buried had a chapel built there , which houses her mortal remains . Reserve bank of India Issued a 5 Rupees Commemorative Coin in 2009 marking the birth centenary of Saint Alphonsa . Tomb of Saint Alphonsa Shrine ( edit ) Her tomb at St. Mary 's Syro - Malabar Catholic Church , Bharananganam , has become a pilgrimage site as miracles have been reported by some of the faithful . Feast ( edit ) Thousands of people converge on the small town of Bharananganam when they celebrate the feast of Saint Alphonsa from 19 to 28 July each year ; her tomb has been designated as a pilgrimage site with numerous miracles being reported by pious devotees .

Rudolph the Red - Nosed Reindeer ( song ) - wikipedia Rudolph the Red - Nosed Reindeer ( song ) Jump to : navigation , search `` Rudolph , the Red - Nosed Reindeer '' Single by Gene Autry B - side `` If It Does n't Snow on Christmas '' `` Here Comes Santa '' `` Here Comes Santa Claus '' Released September 1 , 1949 Format 7 `` , 10 '' Recorded June 27 , 1949 Genre Christmas / Winter Holiday Length 3 : 10 Label Columbia 38610 Columbia MJV - 56 Columbia 4 - 38610 Columbia 33165 Challenge 1010 Challenge 59030 Songwriter ( s ) Johnny Marks Music video `` Rudolph the Red - Nosed Reindeer '' ( audio ) on YouTube `` Rudolph , the Red - Nosed Reindeer '' is a song by songwriter Johnny Marks based on the 1939 story Rudolph the Red - Nosed Reindeer published by the Montgomery Ward Company . Gene Autry 's recording hit No. 1 on the U.S. charts the week of Christmas 1949 . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 1.1 Other notable recordings 2 In popular culture 3 References 4 External links History ( edit ) In 1939 Marks 's brother - in - law , Robert L. May , created the character Rudolph as an assignment for Montgomery Ward and Marks decided to adapt the story of Rudolph into a song . The song had an added introduction , paraphrasing the poem `` A Visit from Saint Nicholas '' ( public domain by the time the song was written ) , stating the names of the eight reindeer which went : `` You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen , Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen , But do you recall The most famous reindeer of all ? '' The song was first sung by crooner Harry Brannon on New York City radio in early November 1949 , before Gene Autry 's recording hit No. 1 in the U.S. charts during Christmas 1949 . The song was suggested as a `` B '' side for a record Autry was making it . Autry rejected the song . His wife convinced him to use it . The success of this Christmas song by Autry gave support to Autry 's subsequent popular Easter song , `` Here Comes Peter Cottontail . '' Autry 's version of the song also holds the distinction of being the only chart - topping hit to fall completely off the chart after reaching No. 1 . The official date of its No. 1 status was for the week ending January 7 , 1950 , making it the first No. 1 song of the 1950s . The song was also performed on the December 6 , 1949 , Fibber McGee and Molly radio broadcast by Teeny ( Marion Jordan 's little girl character ) and The Kingsmen vocal group . The lyrics varied greatly from the Autry version . Autry 's recording sold 1.75 million copies its first Christmas season , eventually selling a total of 12.5 million . Cover versions included , sales exceed 150 million copies , second only to Bing Crosby 's `` White Christmas '' . The current copyright owner is Kobalt Music Group Other notable recordings ( edit ) 1950 : The song was recorded by Bing Crosby on June 22 , 1950 with John Scott Trotter and his Orchestra .
