The venue will have cascading waterfalls over granite rocks; an 11,000-pound hydraulic glass door engineered to open outward at 90 degrees; 300 amphitheater-style seats, both indoors and out, that wrap around a freshwater pond and allow occupants to gaze upon the Rocky Mountains...
The $10 million performance space is the latest offering from the Stanley’s owner, John Cullen, who has expanded the legendary hotel into something of a cultural hub in Estes Park, drawing musicians, writers and performers. Of course, the hotel itself comes with artistic bona fides: It inspired Stephen King to write The Shining.
