In Stephen King’s novel The Shining, the family associated with ownership of the Overlook Hotel is the Derwent family.
Mark Jameson and Horace Derwent are among the figures connected with the hotel’s history, and the wealthy Derwent family’s involvement reflects the Overlook’s earlier period as a fashionable and influential resort. The hotel’s past is central to its supernatural power and to the memories and violence that seem to remain within its walls.
This answer is easy to confuse with the Torrance family, who are the novel’s central family, or with the Grady family, whose history is tied to a previous caretaker. Neither surname identifies the family associated with the hotel’s ownership history.
The Overlook’s backstory is revealed through conversations, records, and supernatural visions rather than through one simple historical summary. King uses that layered history to make the building feel almost alive. The hotel’s influence eventually targets Jack Torrance, while Danny Torrance’s psychic sensitivity allows him to perceive its dangers.
