In Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, what is the name of the isolated hotel where Jack Torrance works?

In Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, Jack Torrance works at the isolated Overlook Hotel.

The Overlook is a fictional Colorado mountain resort that closes during the winter. Jack accepts a job as its winter caretaker and brings his wife Wendy and son Danny to the hotel, where the family becomes increasingly threatened by supernatural events and Jack’s deteriorating mental state.

The hotel is not simply a background location. Its corridors, ballroom, hedge maze, and room 237 shape the film’s visual design and suspense. The story’s central setting was adapted from Stephen King’s 1977 novel, although Kubrick changed or emphasized several details for his film.

The exterior of the Overlook was represented by Timberline Lodge in Oregon, while many interior sets were built at Elstree Studios in England. Timberline Lodge requested that room 237 be changed to room 217 for the film because the real lodge contained a room 217 and management feared guests might avoid it.
