Estes Park

The Stanley Hotel

The Stanley Hotel is an Estes Park landmark.

Coming into town you see it on the hill above town, a big white neoclassical building.  With panoramic views, it looks over the Continental Divide of nearby Rocky Mountain National Park.  Lumpy Ridge forms a dramatic backdrop behind it.

Built in 1909 , F.O. Stanley picked the best location for his 140 guest room hotel.  It appeals to people from all walks of life, including royalty and Hollywood personalities.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and a member of Historic Hotels of America,  it is a favorite spot for weddings and conventions.

The Shining

the-shining-stanley-hotel

The horror novelist Stephen King was inspired to write The Shining after staying there with his wife.  The hotel has been featured as one of America’s most haunted hotels. It has also been featured on the television show Ghost Hunters where they investigated the hotel for paranormal activities.

Each year The Stanley Hotel hosts summer and winter music festivals in its beautiful music room, as well as several events over the holidays (Halloween balls and Easter Egg hunts, for example).

You can take tours of the historic Stanley Hotel, a Day Tour featuring history, architecture, folklore, and pop culture, and a Night Tour that introduces you to “active phenomena” and spirit folklore.

Do friendly ghosts live in The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park?  The hotel has a long, haunted history.

Besides inspiring the setting of Stephen King’s novel and consequent blockbuster, The Shining, the hotel has had rumored ghost stories of its own for over a century.

The haunted theories date back to 1911 when the hotel’s chief housekeeper, Ms. Elizabeth Wilson, was blasted through the floor of room 217 during a lantern explosion. Her fall was not fatal, however, room 217’s guests have reported strange additional maintenance being done to their room for decades. It is almost as if Ms. Wilson is still there tidying up and taking care of her guests.

In other rooms, guests have reported hearing children laughing and playing outside their door only to open it and find nothing there.

The ghosts of the original builder, Freelan Stanley, and his wife have reportedly been spotted hovering in different locations around the hotel.

A piano is often heard though no one is playing it. Sometimes the lights flicker, or footsteps fade leaving guests wondering about supernatural presences.

It was also in room 217 that Stephen King commenced writing The Shining . During his stay there, King reported hearing phantom children yelling down the hallways. He sensed the ghostly ambiance of The Stanley Hotel and brought one of the greatest horror stories in history to life from it.

Stanley Kubrick, the director of The Shining, followed in King’s footsteps in 1980 and based the film’s famous Overlook Hotel off of The Stanley Hotel.

The film production built a life sized model of the Overlook Hotel in London and supplemented by filming in various locations in California, Montana, and Oregon.

17 years after Kubrick’s critically acclaimed film came out, King hired a new director to film the story more accurately to his novel. This second, lesser known film adaptation was filmed inside The Stanley Hotel exactly as King envisioned it should be.

Stephen King believed in The Stanley Hotel’s unique environment strongly enough to conceive his own twisted, horror story in the midst of it.

The Shining is yet another remarkable development to add to the hotel’s rich past. Hundred year old ghost stories can be hard to refute, especially with one of America’s greatest writers believing in them.

Today, The Stanley Hotel is not threatened by sinister spirits like other establishments that lay claim to haunting. Rather, there are frequent tales of paranormal housekeeping.

Guests may find their things packed, unpacked, or rearranged in unexpected ways. Sometimes, guests wake up and discover that someone folded their blankets or tucked them in while they slept.

Whether the ghosts are real or not, The Stanley Hotel is a special, historical place where curious people can find out for themselves.

The Stanley Film Fest

Reveling in all films horror, this film festival started in 2013.

It has featured the best of this frightful genre and celebrates the Stanley’s history as creepy inspiration for Stephen King’s “The Shining”.

How To Visit The Real-Life Overlook Lodge From "The Shining"

All work and no play...

  • Featured Trip Guides
  • Movie Filming Locations

Created by Roadtrippers - July 12th 2016

I n horror books and movies, setting is everything. This is super apparent in "The Shining", Stephen King's novel which was adapted for the screen by Stanley Kubrick. Both book and film delve into the tricks the mind can play on those susceptible to paranoia, fear and violence when trapped and cut off from the real, rational and sane world.

Jack Torrance, his wife, and their kid move into a secluded and completely eerie mountain resort called the Overlook Hotel to care for it while it closes for the winter. They slowly succumb to the maddening isolation and fear of the beautiful but spooky old hotel.

The Stanley Hotel

Estes Park, CO

Click to discover a great deal!

The hotel that inspired Stephen King to pen the novel is The Stanley in Estes Park, CO just outside Rocky Mountain National Park. He checked into the hotel in 1973 for a one-night stay with his wife, Tabitha. Fortuitously, they were the only guests at the hotel that night. They pretty much had the run of the place, but King wasn’t convinced they were actually alone. The room he stayed in was Room 217, which is, to this day, the hotel’s most-requested room. The Shining was inspired by these events and the overall experience of being secluded in the grand resort hotel alone.

The Stanley appeared in the 1990s King-sanctioned made-for-TV series version, as he wasn't a fan of Stanley Kubrick's atmosphere-heavy, plot-light take on his material. Today you can watch both King's and Kubrick's versions on a nonstop loop on the hotel’s Channel 42.

King might not have been crazy, though. The Stanley Hotel was originally opened in 1909, by Massachusetts couple F.O. and Flora Stanley, as a secluded, grand mountain resort. Though the Stanleys have passed, many believe they never actually left. Mr. Stanley has been reported as hovering behind employees at the reception desk, and Mrs. Stanley can still be heard playing piano in the hotel’s music room.

Haunted events have been recorded at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, since as far back as 1911, when Ms. Elizabeth Wilson, a housekeeper, was electrocuted during a lightening storm. Though she wasn’t killed, the room where it happened, Room 217, has become a hotbed of paranormal activity.

Over the years, every single room in the hotel has experienced something strange, from clothes being mysteriously unpacked, to items moving on their own, and lights turning themselves on and off. The fourth floor is often filled with the spectral laughter of children giggling and running down the halls. However, the staff at the Stanley are quick to point out that “there are never any reports of sinister or evil events happening here, because there are only happy ghosts at the Stanley Hotel!” Suuuuure.

Timberline Lodge

As for Kubrick's version, it was not filmed at the Stanley. The exterior shots were filmed at Mount Hood's Timberline Lodge. Built during the Great Depression as a WPA project, it features year-round skiing, a heated hot tub, and incredible rustic cabin vibes. If you're worried about getting snowed in and being driven mad by cabin fever, just stop by for a drink in the bar.

Sadly, the hedge maze from the movie was filmed at the studio, but the Stanley has one now in honor of the novel!

The Ahwahnee Hotel

Yosemite Valley, CA

The interiors were filmed at a studio, but heavily drew inspiration from the Ahwahnee in Yosemite National Park. The interior design of the Ahwahnee is actually pretty distinctive, especially where "parkitecture" is concerned: it's got the natural wood and stone look of most other National Park Service lodges, but the interior almost featured a Mayan revival motif, as designed by Henry Lovins. Ultimately, the look blends Art Deco, Native American, and Arts and Crafts elements with a touch of Middle Eastern flair.

Going-to-The-Sun Road

So we've seen inspiration from the Rockies and Yosemite... but to throw another park into the mix, the opening scene was filmed along the famously stunning Going-to-The-Sun Road in Glacier National Park in Montana.

The isolated but breathtaking atmosphere of all of these rustic lodges definitely wavers between hauntingly beautiful and hauntingly... well, haunting. Just try to get some sleep if you happen to stay in one, and ignore any nightmares!

Recent tour reviews

Martha Davis was amazing! After all of these years, her voice was strong and clear and yes!...Martha Davis...what more can is there to say? Her band was sublime. Her lead guitarist. Bass player, drummer, and keyboardist were great together. You could tell they really enjoyed playing this gig. I would go back and see them in a heartbeat.

Unfortunately the equipment at the venue was poor. The speakers had no midrange and there were many other equipment failures. Thus, the bands at the Lost80’s show sounded horrible. The musicians tried to make the best of it but I was very disappointed especially since we bought tickets early and spent quite a lot on them.

jejonestx’s profile image

As usual the Motels put on an amazing show. Martha never disappoints. Her vocals are spot on and the band is just wonderful. Definitely recommend you catch a show when you can.

I stayed in a 112-year-old hotel that's been nicknamed a 'Disneyland for ghosts,' and the stories I heard will keep me up at night

  • I went on a ghost tour at the Stanley Hotel, where Stephen King was inspired to write "The Shining."
  • King isn't the only one who has shared stories of apparently paranormal encounters there. 
  • The hotel has a list of tales — such as stories of a ghost cowboy and golden retriever — that spook guests.

As the sun set over Estes Park, Colorado, I checked into the Stanley Hotel. In just a few hours, I'd be touring the 32-acre property in the dark, hoping to find what Colorado's most "haunted" hotel is known for: ghosts.

the hotels tour

During the fall of 2021, I traveled to Estes Park, Colorado, to visit the state's most popular national park and spend a night in one of the country's most "haunted" hotels . 

While I'm not easily spooked, I arrived knowing that the hotel had frightened one of the country's most popular horror novelists, Stephen King. While staying at the hotel, King says he had a paranormal encounter that inspired him to write his famous novel "The Shining," as he wrote on his website. 

King isn't the only person who has said they've had paranormal encounters there. The hotel formerly had an onsite paranormal investigator, Lisa Nyhart, who called the property a "Disneyland for ghosts," TripSavvy reported .

On September 30, 2021 — exactly 47 years after King's visit — I checked into the hotel for one night and joined about a dozen people on a ghost tour of the property.

The experience, which the hotel calls a spirited night tour, costs $25 for hotel guests and $28 for visitors at the time of writing. The hourlong tour highlights the spooky stories hotel guests, employees, and visitors have collected over the decades. And I haven't been able to shake the stories from my memory since.

The tour started with some historical insight. The guide told my group the Stanley Hotel was opened in 1909 by Freelan Oscar Stanley, known as FO Stanley. Today, it's known as the inspiration for Stephen King's "The Shining."

the hotels tour

Stanley relocated from Denver to Estes Park with the plan to die of tuberculosis in a beautiful place, the tour guide told my group.

But the clean air offered more than gorgeous scenery. Stanley survived tuberculosis and lived nearly 40 more years, the tour guide said. After his health improved, he and his wife, Flora Stanley, decided to stay and build a hotel, the guide added. 

Since it opened, the Stanley has welcomed historic figures, I learned on the tour. Everyone from the Roosevelts to the Rockefellers has spent nights on the property, but today, the hotel's most well-known guest is Stephen King. 

After reading stories about what King saw on his frightful night, I was ready to see the hotel firsthand and learn the eerie stories many have told about the institution.

The Stanley Hotel is comprised of four main buildings, and one includes a concert hall. The hall was built for the owner's wife, Flora, who some say still haunts the building today, the tour guide said.

the hotels tour

In 1910, FO gifted his wife Flora the concert hall, the tour guide said.

Flora was an avid piano player, but after performing just once in the concert hall, she learned she had stage fright and never performed again, the guide said.

Some believe Flora never stopped playing. According to the tour guide, hotel guests and late-night visitors claim they have heard music ringing through the concert hall despite not seeing a piano player around.

In the basement of the concert hall, we heard about a ghost named Paul who apparently left behind a haunted couch.

the hotels tour

A former Stanley Hotel employee named Paul died in 2005, but some visitors say they've seen his spirit throughout the concert hall, the tour guide said. 

According to our guide, Paul had a couch in a room in the hall's basement. When he died, no one in his family wanted to make the journey to pick up the leather couch, so it remains, the guide told us.

The guide added that some have claimed to see a man sitting on the couch, lights flickering, and doors opening and closing unexpectedly.

As we left the concert hall, we stopped at The Lodge, which is a miniature replica of the main hotel building. There, visitors have claimed to see a ghostly golden retriever named Cassie, according to the guide.

the hotels tour

The tour guide told us that if we hear clawing at our door, we shouldn't be alarmed; it's likely just Cassie, a friendly golden retriever who was buried on the property. 

On the hotel's property, there's a pet cemetery where Cassie was buried, the guide said. Sometimes, according to our tour guide, Cassie leaves her grave to visit guests, deliver newspapers, and search for treats. 

Inside the original Stanley Hotel, there are countless stories and paranormal sightings.

the hotels tour

Over the years, the Stanley Hotel has grown in size. Today, it's made up of four main buildings, including the concert hall, the lodge, and a newer hotel and spa. But the most famous building is the original 1909 Stanley Hotel.

While the concert hall and lodge aren't without a spooky story or two, the original building is where the most accounts of ghosts have been reported, the tour guide said. 

Guests sharing stories of shadowy figures, strange laughter, doors closing and items moving randomly, and beds shaking are commonplace inside the original hotel.

The story of Elizabeth Wilson's ghost may be the most famous tale associated with the hotel.

the hotels tour

The story goes that Wilson was the hotel's head housekeeper. One night in 1911, Wilson went from room to room with a candle lighting each room's lantern, according to the tour guide. But the hotel had a gas leak, and when Wilson stepped into room 217, her candle caused an explosion, the tour guide said.

Wilson fell through the second story and into the first floor, where she survived, the guide said. After recovering, she continued living at the Stanley Hotel into her 90s, according to the guide. 

However, our guide suggested that Wilson never left and said her ghost is often spotted in room 217, where she takes a particular disliking to unwed couples who stay in the room.

According to the guide, some guests say they've felt a cold force between them in the hotel bed, while others have said their luggage was mysteriously packed up and left at the entrance to their room.

The room Wilson is said to haunt is where King spent the night, and that inspired him to write "The Shining."

the hotels tour

Our tour guide shared the story about how King and his wife Tabby ended up at the Stanley. The couple was stuck on a roadblock and in the middle of a snowstorm while traveling through Estes Park in 1974, according to the guide. Defeated, they decided to book a hotel room at the Stanley, the guide said.

When they arrived, the couple learned that they were the only guests since the hotel was closing for the winter the next day, our guide said. King explored the empty hotel before retreating to room 217 for the night, the guide said.

But in the middle of the night, King woke after dreaming about a possessed fire hose chasing his son in the hotel, according to the author's website .

"That night 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," King wrote of the inspiration behind his book.

"I woke up with a tremendous jerk, sweating all over, within an inch of falling out of bed," he continued. "I got up, lit a cigarette, sat in the chair looking out the window at the Rockies, and by the time the cigarette was done, I had the bones of the book firmly set in my mind."

The tour guide mentioned that the fourth floor, where my room was located, was the "most densely spooky floor" of the entire hotel.

the hotels tour

According to the tour guide, the fourth floor was formerly an open layout without bedrooms where the nannies and children of the rich guests would stay. 

Today, it's common for guests on the fourth floor to report hearing children laughing and crying, the guide said. There have also apparently been sightings of ghost children playing with hotel guests, the tour guide said.

I attempted to spend the night in room 402 listening for the sounds of ghost children, but instead, quickly fell asleep. 

In room 428, there is a cowboy that sometimes greets guests.

the hotels tour

The tour guide said that some guests — mostly women — have reported waking up in the middle of the night to a cowboy standing at the corner of their bed in room 428.

While there are no accounts of a cowboy dying at the Stanley, according to paranormal tour company Nightly Spirits , "those that know their Estes Park history believe this to be the spirit of 'Rocky Mountain' Jim Nugent." Nugent was Estes Park's first guide, but he died after a rival guide named Griff Evans shot him, according to Visit Estes Park . 

Inside room 428, the cowboy is said to sometimes give guests "a ghostly kiss," the Nightly Spirits website states.

Below the hotel, there's a series of tunnels that are said to be haunted.

the hotels tour

The hotel previously had an expansive set of tunnels that workers used to navigate the property, our tour guide said.

Although many of the tunnels are said to have collapsed over the years, one is still included on the tour. Inside the tunnel, our guide shared stories of numerous ghosts who are said to haunt the underground part of the hotel.

While I didn't leave with any ghost sightings, I spent days reflecting on my tour guide's hair-raising stories.

the hotels tour

I quickly understood how a hotel like the Stanley could inspire a horror novel like "The Shining." Its eerie atmosphere paired with the tour guide's ghost stories left me spooked for days.

How to Visit the Hotel Where 'The Shining' Was Filmed

The Stanley Hotel, said to be an inspiration for The Shining, is surrounded by the Rocky Mountain National Park

Editorial Manager

Spend a night in the hotel that inspired Stanley Kubrick’s classic movie The Shining … if you dare. It’s said to be haunted, but don’t let that put you off. Here’s what you need to know.

Stanley Kubrick’s terrifying adaptation of Stephen King’s book The Shining was something of a box office flop when it was released in 1980. Today the film is seen as one of the best horror films of all time, and fans continue to seek out the impressive hotel at the heart of the story. Here’s a guide to finding the real-life inspiration behind the movie, and how to spend the night there.

Why is ‘The Shining’ such a popular movie?

The Shining has the sort of fan adulation that is difficult to explain. Countless conspiracy theories have sprung up around the movie, including claims of hidden messages, evidence the 1969 moon landing was faked and even rumours the whole film is set to a soundtrack by the Beatles. You can investigate all those theories, and many more, until your heart’s content online, but in the real world, the setting used for the movie is what really fascinates cinephiles and curious travelers.

‘The Shining’ is often named among the scariest movies of all time

Based on a book by Stephen King , the Kubrick version of The Shining has spawned a belated sequel in the form of Doctor Sleep (2019) and even been remade at the request of King himself, who famously hated the 1980 film version of his own story. The conflict between King and Kubrick has also led to confusion over where the hotel at the center of The Shining can actually be found, or if it even exists at all.

Ewan McGregor starred in ‘Doctor Sleep’, a 2019 sequel to ‘The Shining’

Which hotel was used in the filming of ‘The Shining‘?

In Kubrick’s movie, Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) is charged with looking after the Overlook Hotel in the winter season when all other guests have checked out. Jack brings along his wife and young son; the family soon settles in for a winter retreat. Slowly a sinister force begins to drive Jack insane, but is it supernatural or something to do with his personal demons?

Timberline Lodge in Oregon was used to portray the exterior of the fictitious Overlook Hotel |

The story is set almost entirely within the confines of the hotel, and Stephen King came up with the idea for The Shining when he was staying at the Stanley Hotel in Colorado . The surrounding Rocky Mountain National Park plays into the paranoia Torrance experiences in the book. The 1997 TV movie of the same name actually uses the Stanley to sit in for the fictitious Overlook Hotel, although Kubrick had a very different vision in mind for his earlier movie.

Timberline Lodge in Oregon was chosen by the eccentric filmmaker to portray the exterior of the Overlook Hotel. Many of the interiors were based on the Ahwahnee in Yosemite , although filming took place on purpose-built sets in England. As you can imagine, this confusing series of events has led many to wonder where the hotel from The Shining can actually be found.

Where is ‘The Shining’ hotel located?

For many, the historic Stanley Hotel is the true home of The Shining. The hotel is actually formed of a collection of four properties in Estes Park , Colorado. The main building is more than 100 years old and is surrounded by a large area of wilderness close to the popular town of Boulder .

You can now book supposedly haunted rooms at the Stanley Hotel

Denver is the largest city within easy reach of the hotel, about 70mi (113km) away. Direct flights can be found from other major US destinations as well as from Europe. It’s a 90-minute drive from Denver International Airport to the famous spot.

In the novel, King highlighted Room 217 as the source of paranormal activity that haunts the Torrance family. For his film, Kubrick changed the location to Room 237 apparently at the behest of Timberline Lodge who feared that subsequent visitors would be put off staying in the room. Apparently, if you do book in for a stay at the Stanley, you’ll be able to watch The Shining whenever you want as the hotel has a channel screening the movie on a loop.

How can I visit ‘The Shining’ hotel?

If you’re looking to stay at the hotel and have a truly spooky experience, rooms 401, 407, 428, and of course 217 are said to be favored by otherworldly spirits. The Stanley also organizes daily tours for those keen to see what all the fuss is about.

For more conventional visits, the Stanley is ideally situated for day trips and excursions into the Rocky Mountains. You can stay at the hotel or take part in some of the leisure activities on offer. This is a tradition the current owners of the property are keen to hold on to; it aligns with the original purpose of the venue as an entertainment spot where founder Mr FO Stanley came to recuperate after falling seriously ill in 1903.

Rooms vary in price, but you are advised to book early if you want to stay overnight in one of the iconic, haunted rooms.

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is coming to an end: Here’s how stay in style and celebrate the final U.S. tour dates

Hotel packages, special events, and other ways to add to your eras tour concert experience..

Beth Luberecki

Are you ready for it? The final U.S. dates for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour are coming up fast, and the lucky three host cities are rolling out hotel packages, special events, friendship bracelet exchanges, and other Swift-inspired happenings. So whether you’re a lucky one who’ll be attending a concert or you’ll just be in town and want to celebrate, here are ways to get in on the fun.

SUNSHINE STATE: 10 dreamy Florida beach resorts that are perfect for families

Miami, Florida

Concert dates: october 18-20, 2024.

Miami knows how to throw a good party, so it’s not surprising the city is welcoming the pop superstar in style. Special events include “A Starlit Tribute to Taylor Swift” at the Miami Marriott Biscayne Bay on October 19 (for ages 13 and up) and an all-ages Eras Tour Pre-Party at Loews Miami Beach Hotel on October 19, hosted by 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast and featuring photo ops, themed cocktails, and friendship bracelet exchanges. (Tickets are $13, naturally.)

BY THE SEA: The 14 best Florida beaches for families

The pool at The Elser Hotel in Miami

Special hotel packages can be found all over the Miami area (all subject to availability; check with the individual hotels for full details). The concert package at The Elser Hotel & Residences starts with a welcome “Bejeweled” mocktail and a gift basket stocked with a Polaroid camera, friendship bracelet kit, and other goodies. Get ready for the main event with Taylor Swift–themed fitness classes or by hitting the hotel’s expansive pool area, where The Eras Tour movie and Taylor Swift tunes will be playing on repeat, then enjoy luxury limo service to and from the concert.

A guest room at The Gabriel South Beach

The Art Deco Gabriel South Beach on Ocean Drive is offering a package that includes a “Miss Americana, Taylor’s Version” of a French 75 welcome cocktail, a friendship bracelet kit, and a Pandora “Moon and Star” ring set with a real Midnights vibe. Before black car service to the show, get ready in style with an in-room spa treatment and strawberries and champagne.

BREAK TIME: Here’s where Taylor Swift should go on vacation, according to my 10-year-old Swiftie

Taylor Swift singing on the Eras Tour

At Kimpton EPIC Hotel , the “Your EPIC Era” hotel package includes friendship bracelets, a $75 rideshare credit for “VIP popstar transportation,” and special food and beverage offerings. Head up to the hotel’s 16th floor to check out an exhibit of Taylor Swift concert photos by photographer Jasmeet Sidhu (on view in September and October as part of the hotel’s yearlong artist in residence program), then elevate your concert look at a custom cowboy hat making pop-up with local shop Hats & Hats.

ROOM TO REST: A cruise expert’s 5 favorite hotels to stay in before sailing from Miami or Fort Lauderdale

Sip on a “Sweet Nothing” mocktail as you’re checking in for the “Bejeweled at The Balfour” package at The Balfour Hotel . Face gems, glitter and body jewelry, and a friendship bracelet kit in your room will ensure you’re show-ready. Grownup guests can enjoy the “Traylor Hideaway” cocktail inspired by Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s tropical Bahamas getaway and an “Evermore” bottomless mimosa brunch. Make sure to snap a photo through the underwater window at the hotel’s elevated plunge pool during your stay.

The pool at The Gates Hotel South Beach

At wellness-focused The Gates Hotel South Beach , the Eras Tour package includes a “concert survival kit” stocked with ear plugs, sleep masks, “Lavender Haze”–inspired essential oils, fuzzy socks, and other self-care necessities. A welcome “French Blonde” cocktail or mocktail kicks off your stay, which also includes a friendship bracelet kit, a showing of The Eras Tour movie on the hotel’s pool deck, and a themed box of Pink Love Donuts.

Two yellow lounge chairs by the pool at Gale Miami Hotel

Book the “Stay, Stay, Stay” package at Gale Miami Hotel & Residences using the code KARMA and you’ll get a friendship bracelet for swapping at the concert, a fanny pack and makeup bag for all your concert must-haves, and a hand fan to keep cool in still steamy South Florida. A $100 Uber gift card will help you line up your own getaway car to and from the concert.

GET OUTSIDE: The 10 best Florida state parks to visit on your family vacation

Thematic dining experiences can also be found around the city. Head to the Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club for menu items like the Wing of My Heart (Buffalo wings with blue cheese dipping sauce) and Cruel Summer cocktail (a mix of Aviation gin, St. Germain, homemade raspberry syrup, and dragon fruit). “Eatertainment” destination Pinstripes Aventura will be serving up drinks like the Swiftie Spritz (a blend of prosecco and Aperol) and the nonalcoholic botanical lavender-infused Love Story Lemonade.

Want to really splurge? ACC Aviation is offering an ultimate VIP experience (starting at $50,000) that includes private jet service to Boca Raton, Florida; a private villa stay at Opal Grand Oceanfront Resort & Spa ; and access to premium concert tickets through Your Elite Tickets.

New Orleans

Concert dates: october 25-27, 2024.

Evening in New Orleans at Jackson Square with illuminated buildings and horses and carriages

A trip to New Orleans is never a bad idea, and there’s lots to do there with kids and without at any time of the year. We’ve even got a three-day itinerary for visiting the Crescent City with the whole family.

But of course there’s even more fun to be had when Taylor Swift comes to town. The city’s visitor bureau has put together a Taylor Swift guide to the city to help you follow in her footsteps from her past trips to New Orleans, including a 2022 birthday trip when she visited spots like Preservation Hall. Events taking place around the city’s concert dates include friendship bracelet making parties, T-Swift karaoke, pre-concert parties at Virgin Hotel New Orleans , and a “Swifties Era Cruise” on the Paddlewheeler Creole Queen.

ON THE TABLE: 12 foodie hotels that will delight your taste buds

Deals and promotions at New Orleans hotels include the Shake It Off package at Nopsi Hotel , which features two themed welcome cocktails, a friendship bracelet, and 50% off the Eras Weekend Brunch.

Nearby destinations like St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, (also known as The Northshore) are getting in on the act, too. Choose a hotel there if you’re going to the concert—and even if you’re not!—and you can take part in events like Taylor Swift trivia, an Eras Tour drag brunch, karaoke, and meetups at local record store 22 Sound. Find all the details about events in The Northshore here .

Indianapolis

Concert dates: november 1-3, 2024.

Two dinosaurs wearing friendship bracelets outside the Children's Museum of Indianapolis

Visit Indy expects a lot of first timers to Indiana’s state capital, since 87% of the tickets holders for the three concert dates are from outside the Indianapolis metro area. In fact, Expedia’s fall travel outlook named Indianapolis the fastest-growing U.S. destination for fall, with flight searches up 120% in part because of the Eras Tour.

So it’s no surprise that hotels, attractions, and restaurants are welcoming Swifties in a big way. The dinos outside The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis will be sporting friendship bracelets and be ready for selfies, while inside the museum visitors can shake it off at Taylor-themed dance parties and trade friendship bracelets with museum staff and fellow fans.

BEST TRIP EVER: 50 best family vacation ideas for all ages

Before the concert, head to the TAY/gate at the Indiana State Museum for themed cocktails and mocktails, friendship bracelet trading, karaoke, and other fun. The general admission tickets for the all-ages event are sold out for November 1 and 2, but when I looked, tickets were still available for November 3. Or you could upgrade to the VIP experience, which includes hair and makeup touch-ups plus other special vendor and food experiences.

Old World Gondoliers already provides a unique way to explore the city. But over the concert weekend, the boat tour company will be offering Eras Singalong Cruises on Indy’s Downtown Canal (blue dress optional). And that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to events around the city, with everything from trivia and a silent disco to cookie decorating and face painting. Head to Visit Indy’s Taylor Swift page for all the dates and details.

FIND A DEAL: 10 best hotel booking sites for cheap prices

If you haven’t booked a hotel room or vacation rental yet, you might be in trouble. But if you want to treat yourself, The Alexander is offering a Champagne Problems package for $1,989 in Suite #1313 complete with a welcome French Blonde cocktail, two monogramed peach satin bathrobes, round trip luxury SUV transportation to and from the concert, and a Champagne Problems Farewell Brunch for you and 13 of your closest friends.

But you don’t have to book the package to be part of the fun. The hotel will also be serving up themed cocktails at Plat 99 and hosting special events like Down Bad Trivia and a musical version of bingo that’ll test your knowledge of the T-Swift song catalog.

Guests staying at Hotel Indy over the concert weekend will receive a friendship bracelet, heart-shaped glasses, and concert survival bag. Eras Tour–themed food and drink menus will also be offered at The Hulman restaurant and rooftop Cannon Ball Lounge.

The exterior of The Cake Bake Shop in Carmel, Indiana

Nearby Hamilton County , Indiana, will be welcoming Swifties with a slew of special events, including a “Shake It Off Fest” at Carmel Midtown Plaza and photo ops plus a Taylor-inspired cocktail and mocktail menu at Hotel Nickel Plate Fishers, Tapestry Collection by Hilton . There’s even an “Eras Guide to Dining in Hamilton County” that includes pumpkin-spice options if you’re in your Red era and all things sweet for fans in their Lover era.

New golf courses and luxury hotels are putting Cambodia on the map as a rising destination for play

Layouts by the likes of Sir Nick Faldo are helping to establish the country as a rival to regional golf heavyweights like Thailand and Vietnam.

The great thing about golf (at least when you are playing well) is that it leaves you craving more. Visitors tackling either of the Brian Curley-designed tests — Lake and Palm — at Chhun On Golf Resort just outside Phnom Penh, Cambodia’s capital, can take advantage of a spectacular extra helping in the shape of the club’s bonus hole.

Accessible only by boat, the short 19th features a tee shot over a lake full of koi to an island green fashioned like a map of Cambodia. It is an undoubted highlight of the experience at Chhun On. But visitors needn’t hit a nation-shaped putting surface to divine a sense of place while golfing in Cambodia.

“Cambodia is a beautiful and unique destination for golfers,” says Win Zaw, Cambodia general manager at leading golf tour operator Golfasian . “Cambodians are warm, friendly, and show care for guests, even more than many neighbouring countries.”

Cambodia certainly packs a lot in for a small nation. Few are unaware of the temples at Angkor near Siem Reap, and Phnom Penh has matured into one of Asia’s most happening cities, with a restaurant and entertainment scene to rival more established regional hubs.

Other draws, meanwhile, include the country’s south coast, which offers everything from alluring towns such as Kampot and Kep to paradise hideaways like Song Saa Private Island and Six Senses Krabey Island.

Although its highlights are many and varied, the kingdom has managed to stay under the radar as a golf destination. With several world-class layouts now in place, the nation has enough to sate the appetite of even the most exacting golf traveller.

the hotels tour

Phnom Penh, the country's rapidly developing capital, is the centre of much of the golf course construction action. Notable new names upping the ante include Chhun On and Vattanac Golf Resort, which has two championship courses designed by UK legend Sir Nick Faldo, and also a floodlit par-3 layout.

Off the course, the city showcases a growing selection of luxury perks. Rosewood Phnom Penh has redefined high-end accommodation in the city courtesy of its stylish rooms, top-notch dining spots, world-class Sense spa, and Sora, its ritzy sky bar. 

Elsewhere there's an alluring cafe society, swanky cocktail bars on hipster-friendly Bassac Lane, and a thriving eclectic restaurant scene.  Local flavour is channelled through historic architecture, bustling markets, and the city’s stunning location on the banks of the Mekong River.

In Siem Reap, with the ancient relics of the once mighty Khmer Empire providing a suitably impressive backdrop, the Nick Faldo-designed course at the Angkor Golf Resort offers a compelling cure for temple fatigue.

“The potential for golf in Cambodia is unlimited,” added Win Zaw. “There is a new airport opening in 2025, which will further enhance the appeal of Phnom Penh for visitors, and the remaining infrastructure is already in place to ensure golfers are well taken care of.”

Vattanac Golf Resort, Phnom Penh

the hotels tour

During the heyday of the Khmer Empire, Cambodian kings observed sports such as  bokator , a martial art depicted in bas-reliefs carved onto the walls of Angkor Wat.

These days, the country’s modern elite are increasingly flocking to another royal and ancient pastime for their leisure thrills as golf gains a significant foothold. 

The country's incredible heritage is front and centre at Vattanac Golf Resort, where the East course — one of two Sir Nick Faldo-designed courses — features scale models of pre-Angkorian structures like Preah Vihear Temple, Bayon Temple, and Angkor Wat.

Other design nods to Khmer history include the square edges of water hazards, reminiscent of the moats that flank many of the relics at Angkor.

“Nick Faldo and his team were tasked with designing courses of the highest standard to enhance the reputation of golf in Phnom Penh,” said Chris Geraghty, general manager at Vattanac Golf Resort. “And to create something which respects ancient Cambodian history and architecture. In doing so they’ve produced a satisfyingly rich golf experience." 

There are numerous fantastic holes on the East course, which — with its liberal bunkering and lightning-quick greens — justifies its reputation as Cambodia's toughest course. Standout holes include the 9th, a snaking par-5 with trouble all down the right side, and the 11th, a classic risk/reward par-4 where a solid carry right at the pin over water opens up scoring opportunities.

The newer Faldo Design layout at the club — the West— is a tighter track that plays with more intimacy than the East and is regarded by many as the equal of its slightly older sibling.

Chhun On Golf Resort, Phnom Penh

the hotels tour

Renowned golf course designer Brian Curley created golf heaven at Chhun On Golf Resort.

Tasked with creating two championship-standard golf courses on a tract of floodplain north of Phnom Penh, he and his team created massive lakes to generate the dirt to tease the courses — Lake and Palm — out of the pancake-flat landscape.

In doing so, he managed to create a succession of challenging, memorable holes with the potential of rocking the world of any golf enthusiast."We aim to prioritise the golf experience, crafting the finest courses in the country,” said Curley of the two layouts. “Each layout is distinct, fulfilling our ambition to provide a unique and varied golfing journey.”

the hotels tour

The courses feature Zoysia – a grass variety renowned for its use in prestigious courses like Hoiana Shores in Vietnam and Singapore’s Sentosa Golf Club. This ensures top-notch playing surfaces and adds to the aesthetic appeal of the courses.

With the Palm course yet to open, golfers must content themselves with the Lake for the moment. Thankfully there’s plenty to savour about the course. Showpiece long holes the 9th and 18th provide spectacular closure to each half of the round with both featuring a lurking water hazard and an approach over a broad creek. Elsewhere, the 13th and 5th are picture-perfect par 3s that demand pinpoint accuracy.

Garden City, Phnom Penh

the hotels tour

Opened in 2013, Garden City wasted no time establishing itself as one of the top options near Phnom Penh.

Thai designer Weerayudth Phetbuasak sought to create an enjoyable, but challenging course, and he achieved his goal.

He moulded an expanse of featureless rice paddies into an undulating challenge with numerous water hazards and fairways interjected by various mounds and moguls.

High handicappers will appreciate the spacious fairways, while low handicappers and scratch players won't scoff at the 7361-yard course length.

There's a liberal smattering of memorable holes on the course. Highlights include the signature 6th, a long par-4 with water all down the left and in front of the green. Also notable is the 15th, a short hole with a carry over water to a giant double green with wicked elevation from front to back.

Angkor Golf Resort, Siem Reap

the hotels tour

The omens were good for Angkor Golf Resort from the word go. Sir Nick Faldo received a personal blessing from local monks before the course opened in 2007, and the layout remains among the premier tests in Cambodia to this day.

With its palm-fringed fairways and plethora of water hazards, the track is visually spectacular, and a sterling test of anyone's game – with various tee box locations allowing both low and mid-handicappers to choose the right course length for their game.

There are several course highlights, but Faldo — no stranger to grand finales himself on his wildly successful time on tour — chose to save the best for last.

The par-5 16th is a 588-yard monster that is a prime test of psychological mettle. Water and a fiendishly angled green ward off long hitters going for the green in two, and a tricky approach over a deep bunker to the shallow green means that playing it safe is hardly a guarantee of par.

The par-3 17th is a tricky long, short hole, while the 18th is an absolute peach. Water runs down the left side of the 440-yard par-4, but those who opt-out to the right with their drive will face a difficult approach to the green with trouble waiting for anything marginally offline.

Where to stay?

Occupying the top 14 floors of the Vattanac Capital Tower, which soars 188 metres above the city, Rosewood Phnom Penh represents the lofty zenith of contemporary luxury in Cambodia’s capital.

'Outstanding hotels' in the US: 16 Massachusetts hotels earn coveted Michelin Key awards

Looking to stay in a luxurious hotel? According to the latest award listing from Michelin Guide, there are plenty right here in Massachusetts.

On Sept. 12, the Michelin Guide released its full list of United States hotels that won Michelin Keys , the highest distinction the company awards to hotels. The list comes as a refresh of the Michelin Guide's comprehensive hotel recommendations, only including the 293 hotels which significantly add to travel experience.

Out of the 293 hotels, 16 are in Massachusetts, with seven receiving a two key distinction and nine receiving a one key distinction. Read below for more about how to visit the state's award-winning hotels.

What is a Michelin Key?

The Michelin Key is the Michelin Guide's newest distinction, created in April 2024 to recognize the most outstanding hotels in the world.

In the same way that Michelin-rated restaurants are awarded stars, Michelin-rated hotels receive either one, two or three keys, and the quality of the hotel increases with the number of keys. One key marks a very special stay, two mark an exceptional stay and three mark an extraordinary stay.

After four years of comprehensive research and vetting, judges selected the key-winning hotels based on the five universal criteria of Michelin stars:

  • Excellence in architecture and interior design
  • Quality and consistency of service
  • Overall personality and character
  • Value for the price
  • Significant contribution to the neighborhood or setting

  • Can be a one-gallon, clear plastic freezer bag (Ziploc bag or similar).
  • In addition to one of the clear bags noted above, fans may also carry in a small clutch bag or purse approximately the size of a hand, with or without a handle or strap.

"Items such as smartphones, binoculars, and cameras will still be permitted into the stadium. This policy is meant to speed up the process of entering the stadium along with increasing security measures," the stadium's website says.

What is the parking situation for Hard Rock Stadium? Can I tailgate at the Eras Tour?

According to Hard Rock's website, you must have a concert ticket to park at the stadium. While "Tay-gating" the concerts became popular for those without tickets, you won't able to this time.

Taylor Swift setlist 2024. What to expect for Miami

Swift has dazzled fans by performing a mix of 44 to 45 songs spanning her 18-year career. Since kicking off her tour in Arizona last year and making a stop in Tampa, the setlist has been updated quite bit. Here’s the set she played at Wembley Stadium in London, England, on Aug. 20, the final date of the European dates of the Eras Tour.

“Lover” album

  • “Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince”
  • “Cruel Summer”
  • “You Need to Calm Down”

“Fearless” album

  • “You Belong With Me”
  • “Love Story”

“Red” album

  • “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”
  • “I Knew You Were Trouble”
  • “All Too Well” (10-minute version)

“Speak Now” album

  • “Enchanted”

“Reputation” album

  • “...Ready for It?”
  • “Don't Blame Me”
  • “Look What You Made Me Do”

“Folklore” / “Evermore” albums

  • “Champagne Problems”
  • “Illicit Affairs”
  • “My Tears Ricochet”

“1989” album

  • “Blank Space”
  • “Shake It Off”
  • “Wildest Dreams”
  • “Bad Blood”

“The Tortured Poets Department” album

  • “But Daddy I Love Him” / “So High School”
  • “Florida!!!” (It should be noted that this was only played the final night and wasn't added to other European shows)
  • “Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?”
  • “Down Bad” (with "Fortnight" outro)
  • “Fortnight”
  • “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived”
  • “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart”

Surprise songs

  • One song on guitar
  • One song on piano

“Midnights”

  • “Lavender Haze”
  • “Anti‐Hero”
  • “Midnight Rain”
  • “Vigilante Sh-”
  • “Bejeweled”
  • “Mastermind”

Will 'Florida!!!' get a spot on the set list?

According to  Taylor Swift, “Florida!!!”  is “one hell of a drug.” So will she perform her new song based on the state while in it?

“Florida!!!” is a pretty grungy, dark song about trying to separate yourself from a bad or painful situation and going to Florida to forget about it. You be the judge of if it’s reflective of the Sunshine State or not.

Swift told  iHeart Radio  that after getting inspiration from crime shows, she thought of where she'd go if she needed to reinvent herself.

"I think I was coming up with this idea of 'what happens when your life doesn't fit' or 'the choices you've made catch up with you' and you're surrounded by these harsh consequences and judgement," Swift said. "And circumstances did not lead you to where you thought you'd be."

As noted above, she surprised Swifties last month with the first ever performance of the song "Florida!!!" and even had featuring artist Florence Welch with her. While some thought she'd save the performance for when she's actually in Florida, most see this as a sign she will add the song to the album's dedicated section during the remaining tour dates.
