Where is the hotel used in The Shining located?
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.
