What is the name of the exterior hotel used for the Overlook Hotel in The Shining?

Timberline Lodge was used for the exterior of the Overlook Hotel in The Shining.

The Oregon lodge appears in establishing shots of the fictional mountain hotel in Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 adaptation of Stephen King’s novel. Timberline Lodge stands on the south side of Mount Hood, about 60 miles east of Portland, and its snow-covered façade became one of the film’s most recognizable images.

The production did not use the lodge for all of the Overlook. Most interior scenes were filmed on elaborate sets at Elstree Studios in England. Kubrick’s production also created a full-scale exterior façade, while location footage supplied the mountain setting and hotel establishing views.

The real building differs from the fictional hotel in important ways. Timberline Lodge does not have the hedge maze shown in the film, and its room numbering was not the source of the movie’s infamous Room 237. Management reportedly asked the production to avoid using Room 217, the room in King’s novel, because guests might avoid it; Kubrick changed the film’s room number to 237.

The Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite influenced the Overlook’s interiors, making it a frequent answer mix-up, but Timberline Lodge is the exterior location.
