Primary Filming Location
The exterior establishing shot of the Overlook Hotel was filmed at Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood in Oregon. This historic lodge provided the iconic snowy facade that became synonymous with the film.
Interior and Studio Work
Most interior scenes were shot on soundstages at Elstree Studios in England, where director Stanley Kubrick meticulously controlled the environment. The famous hedge maze was also built on the studio backlot, not on location in Oregon.
Additional Filming Sites
Several establishing shots and mountain scenes were captured in the surrounding areas of the Pacific Northwest. For more details on the specific locations, you can refer to the official Timberline Lodge history page here.
