The Shining Trivia

I am looking for the room number of the hotel that was in the movie, The Shining. Can anyone out there help me?

Depends, the room number in the book is 217, but in the movie it is different because the hotel they used were afraid that they ould not get as much buisiness.

Movie - Room 237

Question: What is the nearest town to the Overlook Hotel?

Answer away

Not sure about the nearest town, but I got another trivia question. What is the REAL name of the Overlook Hotel??

A small amendment to my trivia question. What is the REAL name of the hotel used for all of the EXTERIOR shots in "The Shining"? For the record, everything shot INSIDE the hotel was on sets made for the movie, but all of the exterior shots of the hotel were of a REAL hotel. For 1 Bonus point, what state is the REAL hotel in??

Also, anybody who owns the copy of "The Shining" with that little documentary about the making of the film, with all that candid stuff with Nicholson......very cool special feature. Nicholson is as charasmatic and engaging even when they're just following him around shooting some cheesy little documentary. Truly a screen legend.

Tre
Quattro!!!

Oh sorry, I meant Four!!!!

What's next!?

Isn't the Overlook Hotel located in Colorado?

Well, in the movie the hotel is called the Overlook Hotel, and yes, it is supposed to be located in Colorado, but I'm asking what the REAL hotel used for the exterior shots is called, and where THAT hotel is located. C'mon people, work with me!!!

The Best Western in Key Largo?

There is an Overlook in Kingston Ontario, but it is an apartment building.

The exterior is Timberline Lodge in Oregon. I go snowboarding there all the time. As a matter of fact, you can snowboard or ski all year round cause' there's a glacier. Cool sh*t, huh?

"Was the movie "The Shining" filmed at Timberline Lodge?
Yes, part of it was. The front of Timberline Lodge was used for the "second unit" shots (outside shots). The snowcat shots were filmed on West Leg Road leading to Timberline Lodge. All other outside shots were filmed at a studio in England, including the maze . The inside inspirations came from the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO. During a stay at the Stanley Hotel, The Shining's author, Stephen King came with the film idea. He presented the idea to director Stanley Kubrich. When asked about properties that could be used for the movie Kubrick answered, "Take me to this place." Kubrick was holding the famous Ray Atkeson photograph taken of Timberline lodge in moonlight."
