Although it's 106 years old, the Stanley Hotel continues to fascinate tourists (about 430,000 a year) and locals alike.

It's also supposedly haunted and has a controversial owner who, for better or for worse, capitalizes on its allure. Brush up on your history and learn more about the hotel's future in our recent coverage.
