Colorado’s ‘The Shining’ Hotel is Finally Getting That Hedge Maze

However, one thing that guests couldn’t do at the hotel was recreate the heart-pounding chase through the hedge maze, à la the film’s jaw-clenching edge-of-your-seat climax. It’s not because the maze was off-limits to guests; the hotel never had one at all—until now.

For the film, the hedge maze was filmed far from Colorado, on a sound stage in England, but guests still wanted the experience. So to celebrate 20 years of hotel ownership, John W. Cullen, the Stanley’s current owner, decided to act on the old “the customer is always right” adage and build visitors a labyrinth.
