Heeeeere’s ‘The Shining’ hotels
- Oregon's Timberline Lodge and Colorado's The Stanley Hotel serve as the primary real-world inspirations for Stephen King's horror novel The Shining and Stanley Kubrick's 1980 film adaptation.
- Director Stanley Kubrick used Timberline Lodge for the film's exterior shots, while the historic Cascadian-style lodge was built by the Works Progress Administration during the Great Depression and opened to the public in 1937.

- Fans continue visiting these locations more than 40 years after the film's release, with the Overlook Hotel remaining a cultural touchstone even as recent sequels like 2019's Doctor Sleep revisit the legacy.
