I had to look up where it was filmed, you piqued my interest and have also
made me want to see the movie again.  Stanley Kubrick was the director.

Q: Where is the hotel used in The Shining located?
A: There is no actual hotel that was used for the filming. The helicoptor
shots at the beginning of the movie are of the Timberline Lodge on Mount
Hood, Oregon. The interior shots were soundstages built on the backlot of
EMI's Elstree Studios in England. Some of the interiors were modeled after
actual hotels (such as the Ahwanee Hotel in Yosemite National Park), but no
"real hotel was used in the film aside from the Timberline.

Remember room 237  =:-o
