Where is the actual Hotel where the Shining was filmed?!


Question: From imdb
"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 specially built at Elstree Studios in London, England. The management of the Timberline requested that Stanley Kubrick not use 217 for a room number (as specified in the book), fearing that nobody would want to stay in that room ever again. Kubrick changed the script to use the nonexistent room number 237."

"All of the interior rooms of The Overlook Hotel were filmed at Elstree Studios in England, including The Colorado Lounge, where Jack does his typing. Because of the intense heat generated from the lighting used to recreate window sunlight, the lounge set caught fire. Fortunately all of the scenes had been completed there, so the set was rebuilt with a higher ceiling, and the same area was eventually used by Steven Spielberg as the snake-filled Well of the Souls tomb in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)."

The Estes Park Hotel in Colorado inspired Stephen King on what the hotel should look like, but it wasn't filmed there.

1080 answer is interesting--i too had heard that it was the stanley hotel in colorado!

The SciFi show "Ghost Hunters" did a paranormal investigation there and got a lot of results. One investigator had a glass break in his room, and another had the sheets pulled back off his feet!
