What is the name of the hotel from the movie the shining?
The Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood in Oregon was used for the front exterior, but all the interiors as well as the back of the hotel were built at Elstree Studios in London, England.
To construct the interiors of the Overlook, Kubrick set out to make it look like an amalgamation of bits and pieces of real hotels, rather than using one design ethic. Kubrick sent many photographers around the country photographing hotel rooms. For example, the red men's bathroom was modeled after a men's room in the Biltmore Hotel in Arizona, and the Colorado lounge was modeled after the lounge of the Ahwanee Hotel in the Yosemite Valley. The chandeliers, windows, and fireplace are nearly identical, so much so that people entering the Ahwahnee often ask if it's "the Shining hotel".
The famous opening scene was shot in Glacier National Park in Montana north of St. Mary's Lake. The road seen in the scene, Going-to-the-Sun Road, does actually close during winter and is only negotiable by snowcat.
