In the opening of The Shining, as Jack Nicholson’s character drives to Timberline Lodge (called the Overlook in the movie), there’s an aerial shot of the hotel perched 6,000 feet on Mount Hood. “You get a sense of the hotel in a remote location, which sets the stage for the film,” says Jon Tulles, director of public affairs for the resort. While just a few exterior shots were actually filmed there, Kubrick fashioned its exterior very accurately from an architectural standpoint (most of the movie was shot in London). In fact, the hotel’s interior is completely different than the film. Room 227 doesn’t exist, nor does the ballroom. “People ask where it is, and the answer is, well, that’s Hollywood. It’s not here,” explains Tullis. “The movie is very scary and not how I think of Timberline, which is a very nice warm place.”
