Stanley Hotel
If you’ve ever read Stephen King’s The Shining and felt inspired to visit the novel’s ground zero, then you’re crazy and you should seek help immediately. But really, the place exists.
The Stanley Hotel in Colorado inspired King’s Overwatch Hotel and it’s as creepy as you could possibly imagine. It was King’s visit to the isolated hotel that inspired the book. It’s also inspired a lot of uneasy feelings for the hotel’s guests. So if you find yourself in Colorado, you can always book a room at The Stanley Hotel. Oh, and try not to work too hard.
