Where was The Shining filmed?
- London, England, London – Interior scenes of the Overlook Hotel including the Gold Room, kitchen, and hedge maze. Stanley Kubrick constructed massive sets of the hotel interiors at Elstree Studios rather than filming on location, allowing complete creative control over the environment.
- Timberline Lodge, Oregon, USA, Mount Hood – Exterior shots of the Overlook Hotel and establishing shots of the hotel in the snow. The lodge served as the exterior of the fictional Overlook Hotel, with its distinctive Art Deco architecture and mountain setting providing the film's isolated hotel backdrop.
