In Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, the Torrance family stays at the Overlook Hotel.
The Overlook is a fictional Colorado mountain resort that closes for the winter. Jack Torrance accepts a job as its winter caretaker and brings his wife Wendy and son Danny to the remote hotel, where supernatural phenomena and Jack’s deteriorating mental state drive the story.
The film was released in 1980 and adapted from Stephen King’s 1977 novel. Kubrick changed several details from the book, including aspects of the hotel’s design and the ending. Exterior views of the fictional resort were filmed at Timberline Lodge in Oregon, while many interiors were created on studio sets.
The Overlook is sometimes confused with the Stanley Hotel in Colorado, which helped inspire King’s novel. The Stanley was not the filming location for Kubrick’s movie, though it remains strongly connected to the story’s origins.
